AMH Increasing?!

[aso328]

Seneitive post.... Don't want to upset anyone as realise others really struggle with this.

Just had my AMH results come in. 1 year since checkedLast year at age 37 - amh was 10

Now aged 38 - amh 14.8

It's gone up?

Anyone else had fluctuations? I'm pleased but just wondering why it's better...

my clinic said it’s impossible for your egg reserves to actually increase, you are born with the number of eggs you have and you can’t change it- but the AMH test is an indicator of what’s left and can be affected by a couple of things 1) the tests can get better and more sensitive at accurately predicting it/lab conditions can affect the test etc and 2) your AMH hormone levels can fluctuate slightly, especially at different stages throughout your cycle

My AMH actually increased from when I was 37 to when I was nearly 41 (not by much but still unexpected!) and they said their tests just got better. My egg collections were less eggs though and poorer quality (to be expected) 🤷🏻‍♀️ so I think AMH is just a rough indicator and defo needs looked at alongside a few other things! I hate that in some clinics it’s their only indicator of success/funding criteria! Xx

I know they say AMH doesn't fluctuate but it doesn't appear to be true! This year my AMH has gone from 12 (March) to 2 (June) and back up to 7 (July). I had a particularly bad case of COVID in May where I had a physiological response that affected my fertility system and it just dropped. And that month only one of my ovaries did anything.... I believe it can change depending on your blood testing company and how they measure and I personally think it fluctuates from month to month depending on how your ovaries are feeling too! And I am sure it can improve with good diet, increased circulation etc so sounds like you're doing all the right things xx

the levels of AMH can fluctuate a little throughout the month so results can vary. Mine went up from 32 to 57! If the two results are from different labs this can also affect the result a little. It doesn’t mean your egg reserve has gone up (as this is impossible) x
