If you’ve recently been told that your AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone) level is low, you might feel overwhelmed with questions: “What does this mean for my fertility?” “Can I still get pregnant?” “What are my options?”

Don’t worry—you’re not alone. Understanding AMH levels and their impact on fertility can empower you to take the right steps forward.

Does Low AMH Mean I Can’t Get Pregnant?

The short answer is no, low AMH does not mean pregnancy is impossible. Here’s what you should know:

Natural Conception: While a lower ovarian reserve may reduce the chances of conceiving naturally, many women with low AMH still go on to have healthy pregnancies.
Egg Quality Matters: Fertility isn’t solely about quantity. If your egg quality is good, your chances of conceiving—even with fewer eggs—are still present.
Age Is Key: Younger women (under 35) with low AMH often have better egg quality than older women, which can balance the effects of low AMH.

How to Improve Your Chances with Low AMH

If you’re trying to conceive and have low AMH, here are some steps you can take:

1. Consult a Fertility Specialist

Your first step should be consulting a reproductive endocrinologist or fertility specialist. They can evaluate your ovarian reserve, egg quality, and overall reproductive health to create a personalized plan.

2. Consider Fertility Treatments

IVF (In Vitro Fertilization): IVF can be a highly effective option for women with low AMH. During IVF, fertility medications stimulate your ovaries to produce multiple eggs, which are then retrieved and fertilized in a lab.
Egg Freezing: If you’re not ready to have children but are concerned about low AMH, egg freezing allows you to preserve your eggs for future use.
Donor Eggs: For some women, using donor eggs may be a recommended path if their ovarian reserve is too low.

3. Optimize Your Health

Improving your overall health can support egg quality and fertility:

Eat a Balanced Diet: Focus on fertility-boosting foods, including leafy greens, lean proteins, whole grains, and healthy fats.
Take Supplements: Consider taking CoQ10, Vitamin D, and omega-3 fatty acids—all of which may support egg quality. Consult your doctor before starting any supplements.
Manage Stress: Chronic stress can affect hormone levels. Incorporate mindfulness practices like yoga, meditation, or journaling.
Quit Smoking and Limit Alcohol: Smoking can accelerate the loss of eggs, while excessive alcohol intake may harm fertility.

Common Questions About Low AMH and Fertility

1. Can I Get Pregnant Naturally with Low AMH?

Yes, it’s possible, but it may take longer or require additional support. Tracking ovulation and timing intercourse can improve your chances.

2. Does Low AMH Affect IVF Success?

While low AMH may mean fewer eggs are retrieved during IVF, it doesn’t necessarily lower the chances of a successful pregnancy. Many women with low AMH achieve success with IVF.

3. Can Lifestyle Changes Improve AMH Levels?

AMH levels naturally decline with age and cannot be significantly increased. However, lifestyle changes can improve egg quality and overall fertility.
