What is Low AMH?

Low AMH refers to a lower level of Anti-Müllerian Hormone, a hormone produced by small follicles in the ovaries. AMH is commonly used as a marker of ovarian reserve, which reflects the number of eggs remaining in the ovaries. When AMH levels are low, it may indicate a reduced ovarian reserve, meaning fewer eggs are available for potential ovulation.

Low AMH does not necessarily mean pregnancy is impossible, but it may suggest that fertility potential is declining, especially as age increases. Women with low AMH may experience fewer responding follicles during fertility treatments such as IVF, and it can sometimes be associated with irregular ovulation or earlier ovarian aging.

Doctors often evaluate AMH together with other tests such as follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), ultrasound assessment of antral follicles, and overall reproductive history to better understand fertility potential.

Early fertility assessment can help individuals explore available options and plan appropriate strategies for conception. Even with low AMH, many women are still able to conceive with the right medical guidance and supportive care.
