AMH Levels and Fertility: What Every Woman Needs to Know Before Starting IVF

Introduction

If you're planning IVF or struggling to conceive, you've likely heard of the AMH test. But what does it really mean for your fertility? Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) is a key indicator of a woman’s ovarian reserve—a vital factor in determining your chances of natural pregnancy or success with IVF.

In this blog, we’ll decode what AMH levels mean, what’s considered normal, what low levels suggest, and how New World Fertility can help you achieve parenthood—regardless of your numbers.

What is AMH?

AMH is a hormone secreted by the follicles in your ovaries. These follicles house your eggs, and the amount of AMH in your blood reflects how many eggs you have left. It's one of the most reliable markers of ovarian reserve and helps fertility doctors determine your response to fertility treatments like IVF.

AMH Levels: What’s Normal?

AMH LevelFertility Status
Above 4.0 ng/mLVery high (may indicate PCOS)
1.5 – 4.0 ng/mLNormal fertility
1.0 – 1.5 ng/mLLow-normal range
0.5 – 1.0 ng/mLLow ovarian reserve
Below 0.5 ng/mLVery low (may require donor eggs)

⚠️ Note: AMH levels naturally decline with age, especially after 35.

What Causes Low AMH Levels?

  • Age (above 35)

  • Genetics or premature ovarian failure

  • Endometriosis

  • Past ovarian surgeries or chemotherapy

  • Autoimmune diseases

How is the AMH Test Done?

  • A simple blood test, done on any day of your cycle

  • No fasting or special preparation needed

  • Often combined with antral follicle count (AFC) via ultrasound for accuracy

What Do Low AMH Levels Mean for IVF?

Low AMH doesn’t mean you can’t get pregnant—it just means you may produce fewer eggs in an IVF cycle. But with the right protocols, women with low AMH can still achieve successful pregnancies.

New World Fertility uses:

  • Individualized stimulation protocols

  • Minimal stimulation IVF (Mini-IVF)

  • IVF with donor eggs (if needed)

Can You Improve AMH Levels?

While you can’t drastically increase your egg reserve, you can improve egg quality and ovarian response with:

  • Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) supplements

  • Healthy BMI and anti-inflammatory diet

  • Stress reduction (yoga, acupuncture)

  • Avoiding smoking and toxins
