Finding out you have low AMH can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re trying to get pregnant or thinking about it for the future. Honestly, low AMH doesn’t mean you can’t have a baby. It just means your egg supply might be lower than average for your age.
So, what is AMH anyway?
AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone) is a hormone your ovaries produce. A predictor of how many eggs you might have left— “ovarian reserve.” It may hamper the egg quality as well.
Why does AMH get low?
AMH naturally decline as we get older, but some women have low levels earlier in life. It could be due to genetics, certain medical treatments, surgeries, or conditions like endometriosis. Sometimes, there’s no clear reason at all—and that’s frustrating.
What can you do if your AMH is low?
You still have options—lots of them. Depending on your age, goals, and other health factors, here’s what people often consider:
# Make lifestyle tweaks: Eat well, reduce stress, get enough sleep, and avoid smoking or heavy drinking. These won’t raise AMH, but they help overall fertility
# Try fertility meds: Medicines that can help your body ovulate more regularly
# IVF: This is one of the most common paths for low AMH. Even if you don’t get many eggs, it only takes one good one
# Egg freezing: If you’re not ready yet, freezing your eggs sooner rather than later might be a good move
# Donor eggs: This can be a tough decision emotionally, but it’s a very successful option for many
# Supplements: like CoQ10 or DHEA. Won’t increase AMH, but they might support egg health.
The bottom line:
Low AMH can feel like a heavy blow, but you are not out of options. The most important thing is to talk to a fertility specialist who can look at your full picture—not just one lab number—and help you figure out the best next steps. You’re not alone, and there’s a lot of support out there.
