Anti-Mullerian Hormone(AMH)
hormoneDefinition
A hormone produced by granulosa cells in ovarian follicles that serves as a biomarker for ovarian reserve.
In IVF Treatment
AMH levels help fertility specialists estimate how many eggs might be retrieved during an IVF cycle. Higher AMH generally indicates a better response to ovarian stimulation medications.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good AMH level for IVF?
AMH levels above 1.0 ng/mL are generally considered adequate for IVF. Levels above 3.5 ng/mL suggest a strong ovarian reserve, while levels below 0.5 ng/mL may indicate diminished reserve.
Does AMH predict IVF success?
AMH predicts egg quantity (how many eggs may be retrieved) but not egg quality. A lower AMH may mean fewer eggs, but those eggs can still produce healthy embryos.
