Honestly about the stock
Low AMH (<1.0–1.2 ng/ml) means a reduced reserve - not infertility, but a signal not to delay: natural attempts are more active, the threshold for turning to IVF is lower, vitrification of oocytes is discussed. High (>3.5) is typical for PCOS and warns of the risk of overstimulation. Before operations on the ovaries, the AMH fixes a “reference point” - the clinic measures it before cystectomies.
When is it appointed?
- assessment of ovarian reserve before planning and IVF;
- confirmation and monitoring of early pregnancy (hCG);
- male infertility - inhibin B as a marker of spermatogenesis;
- forecast of response to ovulation stimulation;
- control after ectopic pregnancy and curettage.
Reserve and pregnancy
AMH shows the supply of follicles regardless of the day of the cycle - the main guideline for reproductive plans and IVF protocols; HCG confirms pregnancy days before the delay and monitors its development based on the dynamics of doubling; inhibin B reflects the functioning of Sertoli cells in men and granulosa cells in women. These tests answer the couple's most pressing questions with precise numbers.
