Anti-Mullerian Hormone or AMH is a hormone present in the body of women. The level of this hormone increases and decreases according to the stage a female’s menstrual cycle is in. Testing or mapping this hormone gives a strikingly accurate idea about the state of a patient’s fertility and is considered more precise and reliable than any other fertility tests such as testing the FSH or Follicle Stimulating Hormone levels in the body.
This test is normally done on women who are having trouble conceiving or are getting a test tube baby treatment to have a baby. Most of the time, these women are tested positive for low levels of AMH hence proving that they are facing infertility issues.
Once a patient is tested with low levels of AMH, it is recommended by Jaipur based IVF specialists to get a secondary test done in order to make sure that they are indeed suffering from infertility problems. Furthermore, they add that these additional tests include an antral follicle count test done via an ultrasound and a clomid challenge test done with the help of a blood test.
Patients usually wonder why they need to take more tests when it has already been proven that they have low AMH levels. The reason is that these tests confirm that AMH levels are low and additionally determine how low they are. Unless the quantity is not dangerously low, not much action is required. In fact, the levels can be improved with a few changes of lifestyle such as exercising, eating healthy, Yoga, etc.
