Many women who are planning to start a family, the words “low AMH” can instantly trigger fear or confusion. AMH, or Anti-Müllerian Hormone, is commonly used as an indicator of ovarian reserve. This is the approximate number of eggs remaining in a woman’s ovaries. However, experts stress that a low AMH value does not mean pregnancy is impossible. With early diagnosis, the right treatment, and supportive lifestyle changes, women with low AMH can and do conceive successfully.What Low AMH Actually MeansAMH levels naturally decline with age, especially after 30. According to Dr Varsha Agarwal, Consultant, Fertility & IVF Specialist at Motherhood Fertility & IVF, Noida, a low AMH value simply suggests that the number of available eggs may be lower than average. It does not assess the quality of the eggs, nor does it predict whether a woman can or cannot become pregnant.Dr Agarwal explains that many women misunderstand AMH and assume that a low value is a final verdict on fertility. In reality, women with low AMH can still produce healthy eggs and can conceive either naturally or with medical assistance. “There is a lack of awareness when it comes to AMH,” she notes, adding that it is crucial not to rely on social media posts or forwarded messages that often fuel myths around fertility.The key is early awareness, timely medical guidance, and personalized counselling so women can make informed choices about their reproductive health.Treatment Options and Advanced Medical SupportFertility treatments have become far more sophisticated and personalized today. Depending on age, AMH levels, and overall reproductive health, doctors may recommend approaches such as:Ovulation stimulation to support natural conceptionIVF (In Vitro Fertilization) for better egg retrieval and fertilizationEgg freezing for women planning pregnancy later in lifeDr Agarwal emphasizes that many women with low AMH respond positively to these treatments. With careful monitoring, tailored protocols, and expert intervention, the chances of conception remain promising.Alongside medical treatment, lifestyle also plays a crucial role. Maintaining a healthy weight, eating balanced meals, reducing stress, ensuring adequate sleep, and avoiding smoking or alcohol can improve reproductive outcomes. These habits support hormonal balance and egg health, enhancing the effectiveness of any fertility plan.Being Proactive MattersOne of the most important steps women can take is to avoid delaying fertility evaluations—especially if they plan to conceive later in life. Low AMH should be seen as a signal to take proactive measures, not a reason to panic.Dr Agarwal encourages women to prioritize regular check-ups, consult specialists early, and stay informed about their bodies. “Women need to take charge of their fertility health,” she says. “With expert guidance and timely intervention, the journey to motherhood is still very much possible.”
