AMH (anti-Müllerian hormone) is produced by the granulosa cells of growing ovarian follicles and is a key marker used to evaluate a woman’s ovarian reserve. It regulates the process of egg production, allowing ovulation roughly every 28 days. AMH levels naturally decline with age, with a significant decrease after age 37. Below are the most common questions about AMH and their answers.

“You deserve to be heard, seen, treated with respect, and supported throughout your life.”

Does AMH testing reveal your chances of getting pregnant right now?

No. AMH does not predict current fertility. Conception depends on factors such as partner sperm quality, the condition of the fallopian tubes, and regular ovulation. A low AMH level does not necessarily indicate infertility.

Natural conception can still occur with low AMH as long as cycles are regular. Age is the strongest predictor of fertility. A low AMH may signal limited time to conceive, and professional guidance is advised.

Does AMH indicate future chances of conceiving?

Yes. AMH can help predict the risk of premature menopause. Diminished ovarian reserve typically precedes early menopause. Testing AMH is useful even in younger women, especially when there is a family history of early menopause.

Does low AMH equal infertility?

No. As long as you have regular cycles and ovulate monthly, your chances of pregnancy are comparable to those of women your age with higher AMH. Only one egg is ovulated each cycle, regardless of the total egg count.

If you plan to postpone pregnancy, egg or embryo freezing may be worth considering. Women with low AMH should also test FSH and Estradiol on cycle days 1–3 and consult a fertility specialist promptly.

Does high AMH mean “superfertility”?

No. You will still ovulate one egg per month. High AMH often appears in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which can actually reduce fertility. However, high AMH may delay early menopause and can indicate a better response to ovarian stimulation during IVF.

Is it concerning to have low or high AMH with irregular cycles?

Yes. Low AMH with irregular cycles may indicate premature ovarian insufficiency. High AMH with irregular cycles often suggests PCOS. Both require specialist evaluation.

Can AMH levels be increased?

No. AMH reflects the number of eggs within the ovaries, and this reserve cannot be increased with medication or supplements.

What should you do if your AMH level is low?

It depends on your reproductive goals. If you want children, you should seek specialist advice immediately to discuss options, as time for natural conception may be limited.
