AMH Blood Test (Anti Mullerian Hormone)

[KitKat72]

Hi there,
Yes, I had it done a few months ago before my first round of IVF. It came back at 6.9, which is quite low and means sub-normal fertility, although not, according to my FS, so low that it's impossible to use IVF. And I guess he was right because I got pregnant on my first round of IVF. If you check another thread that Honeybee started a few weeks ago, you'll see that we had quite a discussion there about AMH. (Sorry, I don't remember the name of the thread.) Apparently the benefit of AMH is that the # doesn't fluctuate the way FSH does. Plus, you can do it any time of the month, which is convenient.

Good luck!

Hi Nicole,

Wishing you good luck with your test results.

I just mentioned to DP that is we don't fall this month, I will have the AMH test done.

Good Luck!

Thanks KitKat, will go looking for that thread.

naenae, thanks and good luck to you with TTC #2.

Well I am not seeing the FS for another 1.5 weeks but the clinic has faxed me my results which I have NO idea what it means.
The test showed a result of 26.1 pmol/L????
Not too sure if I should google the results or just wait to see FS?!?!?1

Hey Nicole,

Assuming that your test is using the same scale as the rest of us here in Aus (they use a different scale in some other countries, such as the US), then your result is a GREAT number -- well into the normal range, which is said to start at 15 (higher is better). It sounds like in the short term you have nothing to worry about on the approaching menopause/diminishing ovarian function question. Congrats!

Evening Ladies,
I have my results back from the test... 7.8
As the test is relatively new my GP has given me a referal to IVF Australia for an ultra-sound.
It's a huge shock to the system. Not the news I was expecting.

Has anyone got any updates on their news/testing?

Is this test a good indicator of egg stores?

[Nicole S]

Thanks KitKat, my FS rang me a week ago and said that based on my age I have a really good egg reserve and have some time to TTC naturally.
I guess time will tell as I am still BF my DS...

CB, sorry to hear this is not the result you were expecting
Hope that you get to see a FS soon and they can shed some light on the results for you.

hello

I have not yet started TTC - sorry if im replying on the wrong forum - this is the only one that came up with this AMH test thread

i just wanted to share my AMH results, i am 36 and saw the test on a news report and wanted to have one done.

my results are low at 4.7, my doctor said "not great"

this really shocked me.

I also had a progesterone test showing "possible ovulation". My doctor only said "this can be treated with drugs". I dont really understand what the 'possible ovulation' means?

My doctor advised me to start taking elevit and my DP menevit - for 3 months before starting TTC, take basel temps so know when to try to concieve

She said my results show I cant wait around. I really want to make another appointment with her so I can ask all the questions I would have asked if I hadnt been crying.

I will take the folic for 3 months, the start TTC, I really hope my low AMH is not going to effect our chances.

Thanks for listening
