Pregnancy Is Possible With Low AMH? | How To Increase AMH Levels? | 4 Pro Tips To Improve Egg Quality

Knowing your AMH levels before planning pregnancy is important especially if you are planning to undergo IVF, IUI, ICSI, or other fertility treatments. AMH or the Anti-Mullerian Hormone is the best indicator to confirm your chances of getting pregnant or the reason for not being able to conceive. If you are trying to conceive for 6 months or more and still not able to get pregnant, then check your AMH levels by doing an AMH test. And, continue reading if you want to improve your egg quality with 4 pro tips…

What Is AMH Level?

1. AMH or anti-mullerian hormone is a hormone produced by the ovaries in females.
2. AMH Level describes the ability of a woman’s ovary to produce eggs that can be fertilized for pregnancy.
3. AMH level does not indicate or decide whether a woman will be able to conceive or not. As many women with low AMH didn’t lose hope and kept trying for natural pregnancy. So don’t lose hopes. We only want 1 healthy egg for pregnancy.
4. AMH level varies depending upon the age and health condition of a woman.
5. Age factor plays an important role. Women in their 20s have healthy AMH levels which means a better chance of conceiving while women in their late 30s or early 40s might experience some difficulties in conception due to low AMH levels.

What Is Normal AMH Level For Age

Why Is AMH Test Done?

AMH test is a simple blood test to evaluate the below health conditions:

1. Ovarian reserve or egg count
2. PCOS
3. Menopausal status
4. Ovarian cancer
5. Effectiveness of egg freezing
6. Chances of successful IVF

What AMH Test Can’t Tell Us

1. Quality of egg or genetic testing of egg
2. How quickly egg count is decreasing? (Unless a fresh AMH test is done)
3. Whether you can get pregnant or not

What Is A Good AMH Level For IVF?

An AMH level can only predict and not assure the outcome of IVF or any other fertility treatments. Below are the predictions based on AMH levels:

High AMH levels – Over 4.0 ng/ml

1. Retrieval of more eggs
2. Higher live birth rates
3. High chances of freezing embryo for the next IVF cycle

Low AMH levels – 1.0 – 1.5 ng/ml

1. Chances of low IVF success rates in women above 35 years
2. However, the good news is that even though the AMH level is low, yet it doesn’t mean that you will not be having successful IVF or natural pregnancy. So don’t stress over the numbers.

3. Fertility Diet

How to increase AMH Level By Food?

Many of you ask this question, and it’s a fact that food does play an important role in improving the AMH levels.

It’s well said by RD Stephanie Middleberg that

“What you eat absolutely affects your fertility and what your partner eats affects his fertility too.”

That’s how nutrition plays an important role in fertility. Despite low AMH levels, one can boost fertility by incorporating different foods, rich in macro and micronutrients that help in the maturation and release of healthy eggs. Few food items that can be easily found in your kitchen are-

Vitamin D

• Vitamin D regulates AMH levels in vitro, both directly through the AMH promoter and indirectly by controlling the number of granulosa cells and AMH signaling in the culture of the ovary follicles.
• Foods such as milk and dairy products, fish, soybean, and eggs help increase the levels of Vitamin D in the body.
• Vitamin D intake in the diet is less important compared to sunlight. A person should have 10-15 minutes in direct sunlight to produce Vitamin D naturally.

Avocados

• Avocados are high in nutrients. Their high monounsaturated fat content helps improve egg health and maintain good reproductive health.

Ginger

• Ginger is a stem containing anti-inflammatory substances that increase blood circulation and promote healthy digestion.
• This helps to reduce discomfort in the reproductive system, correct menstrual cycles, and reduce inflammation of the reproductive organs.

Berries

• Berries contain a lot of Vitamin C, folate (folic acid), and strong antioxidants that protect the eggs from free radicals and keep them strong and healthy.
• Berries such as berries, strawberries, cranberries, and blueberries can be eaten alone, or into a smoothie, fruit salad, or can be added to oatmeal, cornflakes, and muffins.

Sesame seeds

• It is high in zinc and helps produce hormones that are responsible for the good health of the eggs and as a bonus, they are also rich in monounsaturated fats.
• Seeds like sesame seeds, flax seeds, nuts, and dried fruit are healthy and super tasty.

Beans and Lentils

• They are a rich source of iron, Vitamin B complex, magnesium, and other nutrients essential for reproduction.
• It is important to include at least one portion of beans and lentils in your daily diet.

Omega-3

• These fats are a real hero for women’s health, childbirth, and pregnancy.

Zinc

• Zinc plays an important role in the growth, maturation, and release of the egg. However, lack or inadequacy can affect your fertility.
• Food rich in zinc includes oysters, meat, fish, poultry, mussels, legumes, and beans. Add at least some of these daily diets to help you meet your zinc needs.
• Be aware that men have higher needs than women.

Magnesium

• Magnesium helps regulate the pituitary gland to keep ovulation and progesterone levels up.
• You can get magnesium from food sources such as nuts and chocolate.

Vitamin B6

• Foods such as nuts, soybean, oats, bananas, and milk also help with egg maturation.

Our Fertility Nutrition can be customized as per your health condition and taste. It is important to mention here that all these essential food items need to be consumed in proper proportion ONLY. Over or underconsumption can have bad effects on your health.

4. Fertility Acupressure

• Research has proved that acupressure or acupuncture can help boost AMH levels by improving egg quality and embryo quality.
• It also helps in balancing hormones, endometrium lining, male infertility, managing PCOS symptoms, reducing endometriosis, and also increases IVF success chances.
• Acupressure or acupuncture can be done with needles, seeds, thumb, or simple tools to stimulate points of the body to activate the nervous, endocrine, and neuroendocrine systems to produce healthy chemicals and hormones.
