What is Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH)?
Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) is a hormone produced by the ovarian follicles. It plays a crucial role in the development and maturation of eggs within the ovaries. AMH levels are often used as an indicator of a woman’s ovarian reserve, which refers to the number and quality of eggs remaining in her ovaries. Low AMH levels may indicate a lower ovarian reserve, potentially making it more challenging to achieve pregnancy.
Understanding the Impact of Low AMH
Fertility Challenges: Low AMH levels are associated with a decreased quantity and quality of eggs, which can make it more difficult to conceive naturally. However, it’s important to note that low AMH does not necessarily mean that pregnancy is impossible. Every woman is different, and there are still various treatment options available to improve your chances of conception.
Age and AMH: While low AMH levels can occur at any age, they are often more prevalent in women who are approaching or have reached their late 30s or early 40s. As women age, their ovarian reserve naturally declines, leading to lower AMH levels. However, it’s essential to remember that age and AMH levels are not the sole determinants of fertility, and individual circumstances can vary.
Treatment Options
Ovarian Stimulation: Ovarian stimulation is a common fertility treatment option for women with low AMH levels. This approach involves the administration of medication to stimulate the ovaries and encourage the production of multiple eggs. Ovarian stimulation is typically combined with assisted reproductive techniques such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) to increase the chances of pregnancy.
Egg Donation: For women with extremely low AMH levels or diminished ovarian reserve, egg donation may be a viable option. This involves using eggs from a donor, typically a young and healthy woman, to achieve pregnancy. Our hospital provides comprehensive support and guidance throughout the egg donation process, ensuring the highest level of care and confidentiality.
