AMH- Anti-Mullerian Hormone

AMH or Anti-Mullerian Hormone is the hormone produced in a woman’s ovaries by small follicles holding immature eggs. The level of AMH in your blood reflects the number of these eggs, reflecting your “ovarian reserve” – essentially, how many eggs you have left in your ovaries.

AMH testing is a simple blood test that can be taken at any time in your menstrual cycle. It’s a helpful tool, especially for women who are starting their fertility journey, thinking of delaying pregnancy or experiencing fertility challenges.

Why Knowing Your AMH Level Matters?

AMH levels naturally decline with age. They are usually highest in a woman’s early 20s and start to drop after age 35. This decline is completely natural, but it’s important to know about, especially if you're considering delaying pregnancy. Whenever a couple is planning a pregnancy, it is crucial to know their AMH levels beforehand so that they can plan ideally for their parenthood journey. High or low AMH levels can provide insights into other conditions.

For example:

High AMH may indicate PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome), which requires special attention when planning treatments

Whereas, Low AMH indicates poor ovarian reserve which requires immediate attention of the fertility consultant if planning for pregnancy.

Understanding AMH Levels:

• Low AMH: A low AMH level suggests a reduced number of eggs. This is often seen as women age, but it can also be the case for younger women. While it doesn’t mean pregnancy is impossible, it can make conception harder without assistance.
• Normal AMH: A normal AMH level is a good sign that your egg count is suitable for your age, which generally means a good chance for fertility treatments to work.
• High AMH: A high AMH level is often seen in women with PCOS. Even though these women have many follicles, their eggs don’t always develop and release properly. With Dr. Pataki’s expertise, we can create a plan to help manage PCOS and improve your chances of conceiving.
