Low levels of AMH or anti-Müllerian hormone is a measure indicating that a woman’s ovaries are producing a reduced number of follicles. In other words, there are fewer eggs available for fertilization, making it more difficult for the woman to get pregnant. Fortunately, there are numerous treatments and procedures to help women with low AMH levels get pregnant naturally. Let’s discuss them in detail.
Treatments for Low Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH)
Speaking of the specific fertility treatments for women with low AMH, here are some effective options that fertility specialists suggest to improve a couple’s chances of becoming pregnant.
- In Vitro Fertilization (IVF): IVF is considered the standard conceiving solution for women with reduced ovarian reserves. The IVF procedure uses fertility medication to stimulate egg growth. It also helps retrieve mature and healthy eggs and creates a favorable environment for the eggs to be fertilized with the sperm in a lab. After the embryos are formed, the doctor transfers the embryo into the uterus.
- Embryo Freezing: Embryo freezing, or embryo cryopreservation, is a fertility preservation procedure that freezes embryos for future use. It is beneficial for married women who have a low ovarian reserve but are not planning pregnancy immediately but want to conceive sometime in the future. For preservation, the embryos are frozen using the vitrification technique to minimize the risks of ice crystal damage within the embryo cells.
- Oocyte Freezing : If the woman is unmarried and has low AMH , she can opt for Oocyte or egg freezing to preserve her fertility
- Donor Eggs: If a woman’s egg quality or ovarian reserve is very low, a fertility specialist may recommend opting for donor eggs. These are eggs donated by another woman to the wanna-be mother to help her get pregnant. Egg donation is a kind of ART (assisted reproductive technology) technique, which is a boon for women who are unable to use their own eggs for fertilization (due to poor egg quality or quantity).
- Vitamin D Supplementation: Studies have found a direct link between the intake of sufficient vitamin D and AMH production. Therefore, women who include adequate amounts of vitamin D in their daily diet are most likely to maintain a healthy ovarian reserve for long.
- Ovulation Induction: It is another effective fertility treatment for Low AMH that utilizes fertility medications to enable women to conceive. The procedure involves increasing the number of eggs released per month thus enhancing the chances of conception per cycle.
