Learn how AMH (Anti-Mullerian Hormone) levels impact fertility, IVF success, and egg reserve. Discover what your AMH test means with expert insights from Gracious IVF.
Introduction
Understanding your fertility starts with knowing your ovarian reserve—and AMH (Anti-Mullerian Hormone) is one of the best indicators. At Gracious IVF, we help patients decode their AMH levels to make informed decisions about fertility treatments like IVF or egg freezing.
What Is AMH?
Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) is produced by the ovarian follicles. It reflects the remaining egg supply (ovarian reserve) and helps predict how your ovaries will respond to fertility treatments.
AMH Levels by Age (Chart)
| Age | Normal AMH Range (ng/mL) |
|---|---|
| < 30 | 2.5 – 6.8 |
| 30–34 | 1.5 – 4.0 |
| 35–39 | 1.0 – 3.0 |
| 40+ | 0.2 – 1.0 |
Note: These are general ranges. Values may vary slightly across labs.
Why Is AMH Important for Fertility?
- Reflects Ovarian Reserve: Higher AMH indicates more remaining eggs.
- Predicts IVF Response: Helps doctors decide on medication dosage.
- Guides Egg Freezing Decisions: Crucial for women considering fertility preservation.
What Do Different AMH Levels Mean?
| AMH Level | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| > 4.0 ng/mL | High – Possible PCOS, good reserve |
| 1.5 – 4.0 ng/mL | Normal – Good fertility potential |
| 0.5 – 1.4 ng/mL | Low – Diminished ovarian reserve |
| < 0.5 ng/mL | Very Low – Poor reserve, may need donor eggs |
Low AMH: Symptoms, Causes & Misconceptions
- Symptoms: Irregular cycles, difficulty conceiving
- Causes: Age, genetics, chemotherapy, autoimmune issues
- Myths: Low AMH doesn’t mean you’re infertile—it only indicates quantity, not quality
AMH and IVF: What to Expect
- High AMH: More eggs retrieved, but careful monitoring to avoid OHSS
- Normal AMH: Good response, higher success with IVF
- Low AMH: Fewer eggs, may need advanced protocols or donor eggs
At Gracious IVF, we personalize your IVF plan based on your AMH and other hormonal markers.

FAQs

Q3: How often should I check my AMH levels?
A: Once a year if you’re monitoring fertility; more frequently if undergoing treatment.
Q4: Is AMH the only fertility marker?
A: No. FSH, LH, estradiol, and ultrasound are also important.
