AMH or Anti Mullerian Hormone What is it?

• The granulose cells secrete the Anti-Mullerian
  hormone. This hormone is responsible for the
  growth of follicles in the ovaries early
  development stages. The level of AMH in the body
  influences the ovarian reserve. It goes to say
  that it dictates the quantity and not the quality
  of ovary follicles. It also serves as a PCOS
  marker.
• If you have been trying or planning to conceive,
  remember that the levels of the anti-Mullerian
  hormone will turn out to be a determining factor.
  Since 2002 AMH is considered to be an ovarian
  reserve marker. The success of fertility
  treatment depends to a great extent on ovarian
  reserve and thus, it is perceived as a strong
  indicator.

Factors influencing AMH levels

• Low levels of AMH can be the outcome of several
  factors. Some of them are discussed below
• Age As you age the levels of AMH decreases as a
  natural course of action. Hence, there is a
  perception that age and fertility are
  interrelated. When a woman crosses the age of 35,
  the level of AMH decreases considerably.
• Hormonal Disorders The levels of AMH may be
  adversely affected by pre-existing hormonal
  disorders and medically distressing conditions of
  the reproductive system. For example, a surge of
  AMH levels is found in women suffering from PCOS.
• Ovarian Surgery If you have previously undergone
  a surgery for the treatment of ovarian cyst,
  endometriosis, ectopic pregnancy, ovarian torsion
  chances of lower AMH levels greatly increases.
• Stress One of the major inhibitors of AMH is
  stress. A reduction in stress level is imperative
  to conceive successfully. It has been found that
  woman living under constant stress and mental
  pressure finds it hard to conceive.

What is AMH Test?

• It is a simple blood test done in the laboratory
  to determine the levels of AMH. You can get it
  done at an IVF centre in Thane. The lab will
  collect around 3ml of a blood sample. You can get
  it done at any day during the course of your
  monthly cycle as AMH levels do not change when
  you are menstruating. It will take an hour or two
  for delivering the reports or even a day or two.
  It all comes down to the facilities where you are
  getting the test done.
