Quantity, not quality
AMH shows how many eggs you have left, not how healthy they are.
Fertility Guide · Ovarian Reserve
Low Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH)
Low Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) means your ovarian reserve, or egg quantity, is lower than average for your age. It does not mean you cannot get pregnant.
Understanding Low AMH
Low Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) means your ovarian reserve—your egg quantity—is lower than average for your age.
It does not mean you cannot get pregnant, but it can mean a shorter reproductive window and a harder time responding to fertility drugs.
What Low AMH Means
An AMH result is one part of a fertility assessment. It is most useful when interpreted alongside age, ultrasound findings and your medical history.
Age matters most
A young person with low AMH often has better egg quality than an older person with the same level.
IVF response
It predicts how your ovaries will react to stimulation medicines if you do IVF.
Common Causes
Ovarian reserve naturally changes over time, but health history and other factors may also contribute.
Ageing
A normal, natural drop over time.
Genetics
Family history of early menopause.
Surgeries or medical treatments
Past ovarian cyst removal, chemotherapy or radiation.
Lifestyle
Cigarette smoking or severe stress.
