AMH Blood Test (Anti Mullerian Hormone)

[Nicole S]

Hi ladies, just wanting to know if anyone else has had this blood test done?
Was the result what you expected?

[Honeybee]

Yes! Had it done about 3 weeks ago. Was the result what I expected? NO! AMH is really low (5.9) and I am now in the middle of urgent weaning of DS so I can start IVF ASAP. FS says I have at most 12-18 months left to fall pg with another baby. I thought it would come back fine. It has been quite shocking and very upsetting.

Why do you ask hun? Are you having it done?

Thanks for responding HB

Yes, I am having the test done latter this week.

I am sorry that the result was not what you were expecting and hope you can wean your little man soon so you can start your next cycle.
Silly question but can't you do IVF whilst you are BF?

We tried for #1 for 3.5 years with no sucess but were lucky in our second IVF cycle to have a baby boy.
My DH does NOT want to do IVF again so I thought that having this test done would give us an idea how long we 'should' TTC naturally until I really push for IVF again.

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
