Although AMH levels do not change with the menstrual cycle, they are still affected by age or pathological factors, lifestyle, and stress.
In women who are healthy and <38 years old, normal AMH ranges from 1.25 to 4.74 ng/ml.
An AMH reading of 1.0-1.25 ng/ml represents a decline in ovarian reserve, but there is still a chance of pregnancy (despite difficulty). A low AMH index: <1 ng/ml means that in most cases the prognosis is very difficult to get pregnant. The extremely low AMH index (<0.5ng/ml) evaluates the low ovarian reserve, the two ovaries have shrunk and cannot be found on ultrasound, the ability to conceive is difficult. In these cases, there are often indications to ask for eggs to get pregnant. If the AMH index is too high and too high (>10 ng/ml), which often occurs in women with polycystic ovaries, the customer has the opportunity to obtain many oocytes, many embryos, but the customer also has to face risks. ovarian hyperstimulation, and reduced effectiveness of IVF. In general, AMH levels that are too low or too high can put patients at a disadvantage during IVF.
