If you are contemplating egg freezing or in vitro fertilization (IVF) in the USA, you may have some questions regarding ovarian function and the AMH test. Let's delve into the importance of AMH together. AMH, or Anti-Müllerian Hormone, is currently the most ideal biomarker for predicting ovarian response and assessing ovarian reserve.

The normal range for AMH is between 2-6.8ng/ml. A higher value indicates a greater quantity of eggs, while a lower value suggests poorer ovarian function. For individuals in China, the peak of AMH occurs at 18 years old, and after 19 years old, AMH correlates negatively with age. Beyond the age of 40, AMH declines rapidly. When AMH falls below 1.5, it indicates a decline in ovarian function, and below 0.07 suggests ovarian failure.

The AMH test is primarily used to assess ovarian reserve, assist with reproductive treatments, diagnose polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and predict menopause or diagnose premature ovarian failure. This test can be conducted on any day of the menstrual cycle, unaffected by the menstrual cycle or hormone medications.

While a decrease in AMH values may indicate a reduction in ovarian reserve, it does not necessarily mean difficulty in getting pregnant. Even with low AMH, there is still a chance to obtain high-quality eggs and achieve a successful pregnancy. However, ovarian function decline is irreversible, and it is advisable for women monitoring AMH values to stay informed about their fertility status.

To enhance fertility, it is recommended to undergo AMH testing, hormonal and ultrasound examinations. For women not currently planning pregnancy but wishing to preserve fertility, egg freezing in the USA is an option, ensuring that eggs remain viable in the future.

If AMH values are low, we consulted Dr. Nathan Zhang, the founder of IVF USA. He pointed out that an AMH value of 0.68 suggests a less than 30% chance of pregnancy through IVF. He recommends considering freezing embryos, undergoing preimplantation genetic screening (PGS), and selecting healthy embryos for transplantation to increase success rates. In cases of limited egg quantity, considering IVF in the USA is advised, benefiting from advanced treatment plans and technologies to improve success rates and avoid repeated transplant failures.
