Does A Low AMH Level

Indicate

Infertility?

What is AMH?

- AMH (Anti-Mullerian

Hormone) is a substance

produced by granulosa cells at the beginnings of

ovarian follicle development

- It is used to predict a

women’s chances of fertility

because the number of these cells are related to the number of

follicles that ultimately become

fertilizable eggs.

- AMH has been linked to

infertility by some fertility

specialists

However…

- As displayed in a case study conducted by

fertility specialist, Julia Indichova,

AMH’s link to infertility is highly

misleading

- In the case study, a 28 year

old woman couldn’t conceive her second child after trying the same method

(Clomid) she used for her first child 6 months eariler, due to low AMH

levels

- After doing her own research, she found that she needed to

trust an alternative

method with rest and norishment

for her body after her first

pregnancy

Most Common Measurement of AMH

LevelsHigh AMH Over 3.0ng/ml

Normal AMH Over 1.0ng/ml

Low Normal AMH 0.7-0.9ng/ml

Low AMH 0.3-0.6ng/ml

Very low AMH Less than 0.3ng/ml

- Based on 20 years experience,

Indichova has given women with low AMH

levels hope. She concludes that low AMH levels

are not a reflection of a woman’s egg

quality.
