AMH levels

in Trouble TTC
I was reading through literature online and I am a bit confused. My AMH level is 7.71. A lot of the stuff online says that high, associated with pcos, but then doesn't really explain what it means? Just wondering if anyone had any insight. I don't see the RE until June 17th. I have my sonohysterogram tomorrow and am NOT looking forward to it!
Thanks!

Just got the spiel from our RE on this yesterday...AMH is a hormone produced by the granulosa, or the tiny helper cells, that surround a developing egg in its follicles and provide for its biochemical needs all the way through fertilization and I think beyond for a short while. At any given time in our cycles, we have about the same number of follicles in the middle stages of development (starting to develop but still small), the stage during which those granulosa cells produce significant amounts of AMH. More ovarian reserve = more antral follicles = high AMH.
The reason that high AMH could be a sign of something negative is that the number could be falsely high, meaning your ovarian reserve might not really be as high as it seems because the high numbers of antral follicles are just leftover cysts building up. It's hard to separate out the different causes but that's why they compare FSH (higher FSH signals lower ovarian reserve) and of course check for other signs of PCOS (polycystic ovaries, increased androgen hormones, hair growth or body fat distribution, etc.).
After getting my AMH # of 6.2 (doctor just said it was "really good"), I rushed off to compare on the interwebs...it looks like that number for my age (29) is reasonable but not great. A 7.7 should be a good sign.
I've always been so confused about this. I think my AMH was 1.9 and my FSH was 7.6 which my Dr said is really good since I'm 39 almost 40. My understanding AMH also helps determine how many eggs you will get for IVF. For me my Dr expects me to get about 6-8 I'm guessing because it's low.
