AMH level??

RazzyRN

So I got my AMH level back (which I am pissed that's all that Quest posted after I had numerous tests done) any who.... It was 7.. For my age (24) the expected range said "0.76-11.34" so I see that I'm in the "normal" range.. But can anybody elaborate on what my result means?? Is it good? Bad?

I apologize that I have no insight abou AMH levels.  I do know that mine was higher than the normal range, which my RE said she's expect to see with PCOS...

I'm actually replying because I have to ask with your avatar picture - do you have a doberman??

That sounds great! AMH is produced by follicles in various stages of development, so having a healthy number means you should have good ovarian reserve.

Thanks @BunnyBerry‌ !

AMH above 3 is indicative of PCOS. It means you have a great ovarian reserve but it also means you are at risk for over stimming. Mine is over 9 and I have overstimmed twice which really sucked. 

Thanks! What were you taking when you over stimmed?

I was doing injects (Bravelle). I don't respond consistently to clomid or femara so I had to risk injections. I don't think my lack of response to oral meds had much to do with my AMH though. I have pretty sever PCOS and high androgens and pretty much don't ovulate at all so I guess I need the strong stuff.

I feel like this is me as well. I took clomid 50mg and 100mg unmonitored and Ofcourse I regret wasting my time because I did not ovulate. I feel as if I will need the strong stuff too. Since being off BCP last September I've only had provera induced periods.

I just found that my AMH is 7.2, so kind of high. My first cycle with femara and Bravelle it took 5 days of femara and 9.5 days of 75 IU/day Bravelle to get a single follicle. My second cycle I ovulated before cd11 and had to forego the IUI. The doctor was as surprised as everyone. He just said that PCOS can do that. Third cycle I had two follicles after just a few days of Bravelle.

In terms of IUI, I can't say what AMH means because I responded different every time. In terms of IVF, I've read it's good but increases the risk of OHSS (as PP said).
