Question : Hello Doctor- We are planning for IVF. In regard to that, my wife was asked to take AMH test. The test result was 1.84 ng/mL. Her age is 28. On reading few health articles, I could see that this value is normal for the age group < 35 and ideal range is 1.5-4.0. I just want to get your expert opinion about this value. Please advise

Brief Answer:
AMH slightly on lower side

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX

I understand your concerns about AMH.

AMH should ideally be above 2. Your wife's AMH is slightly lower suggesting possibility of lower number of eggs ( decreased ovarian reserve).

Some women lose their egg reserve early. In the background of this test. it is better to undergo IVF soon before losing eggs further.

Let me know if you need anymore help.

Thanks Doctor. She has been asked to take this tablet - ovares plus to improve the egg reserve. Will this tablet help to improve AMH?

Today, we took the follicular scan(2nd day of period) and she had 6 eggs in left ovary and 5 eggs in right ovary.

Ideally, how many eggs required to go for IVF?

Brief Answer:
Good reserve

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

The egg reserve she has is good enough to go for IVF.

Ovres may not help much. Better to start with IVF soon.
