AMH and follicle/egg numbers

[Moosecake]

If you’re happy to share, I’d be interested to know what your AMH is and what your average number of follicles or eggs collected were?

Hi 👋 my AMH is 1 and I had 6 follicles, 4 eggs collected (2 mature and both fertilised) 🤞

Difficult question to answer - it is dependant on many different factors If this something that is worrying you - have you thought about asking your clinic/ consultant about this ?

My amh was 6.4, and I had 16 follicles... They corrected 12 eggs, 10 of which were mature.

My AMH was 3.5pmol so was classed as low. I had numerous cycles of IVF. My number of eggs ranged from zero (which was devastating) and the highest amount collected was 6. My follicle count varied from I think 9 to 14 so that wasn't too bad but really struggled to get eggs from them

I think this depends on your cause of infertility. I had 20+ follicles without meds as I have pcos but had 5 eggs collected first round, 17 the second and 13 (I think) the third. My Amh was very high but I can't remember what it was. I remember the consultant saying it would be normal for someone half my age but it also dropped alarmingly.

Pcos impacts the number of follicles and eggs and their quality. Age, illness like cancer or endo also can impact the quality of your eggs so you need more to insure you have one good egg. I was told in my case, more eggs might be even worse for quality!

I've also seen others on here with low Amh very few follicles. Even less eggs and pregnant first transfer.

Your consultant or nurses would be best placed to tell you what individually you could expect given your own circumstances.

it’s not an easy thing to work out really. I had supposedly normal AFC (11), lowish AMH 6.1 pmol/l (units can vary so watch for that) and at 34 yo got 1 egg from 4-6 follicles (they expected me pre first stims to get 10-12 eggs), but did get good quality blastocyst with the one. Then had latest round at 37 yo with AFC 11, AMH 4.9 pmol/l and got 7 eggs from 9 decent size follicles, and then had nothing make it past day 3. Endo makes me a poor responder despite everyone saying my AFC is normal and AMH not too bad.
