Question : XXXXXXX 31 years married since 3 years trying 2 conceive since 2 years ..i did AMH test got 18 ng/ml what does this mean ? any chance in getting pregnant naturally
Brief Answer:
Conception is possible.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
AMH blood levels reflect the size of the remaining egg supply - or "ovarian reserve".
Normal AMH levels are 1.5 - 4.0 ng/ml. You have higher than normal levels. This is suggestive of increase in number of small follicles, such as with polycystic ovaries. PCOD is a condition where in numerous small fluid filled cysts will be located along the edge of each ovary, which affects release of Egg (Ovulation) causing difficulty in getting Pregnant.
But with proper treatment natural conception is possible. Please do consult an infertility specialist regarding the same.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Brief Answer:
Details below.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
You can get your hormone profile evaluated and start medicines to reduce the insulin resistance. Hormonal treatment to regularize the cycles and ovulation inducing drugs will help.
As your PCOD problem decreases the levels of AMH will automatically decrease. The levels increase with increase in number of immature follicles in the ovary.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
