AMH of 0.65 in 30-year-olds sparks fertility concern, expert says

AMH of 0.65 in 30-year-olds sparks fertility concern, expert says
AMH of 0.65 at 30: What this number means for your fertility · indianexpress.com

Inside a woman's body, there are tiny eggs that she is born with.

Over time, the number of these eggs goes down.

Doctors use a special test called AMH to guess how many eggs a woman still has.

AMH is short for a long name: anti-Müllerian hormone.

A woman who is 30 years old usually has an AMH number around two or three.

But a fertility expert named Zohra Dawoodani said some 30-year-old women came to her with an AMH of only 0.65.

That low number is more common for women in their 40s.

So a very low AMH number can be a warning sign that a woman's egg supply is low for her age.

This information can help women talk to their doctors about their future plans.

“A girl who’s 30 should have an AMH of anything between 2, 2.5 or three easily, but they were coming to us with an AMH of 0.65, which should happen once you’re in your 40s.”
