Can I Increase AMH Levels. A Comprehensive Guide
Each woman is born with a certain pool of eggs. Any fertilized egg can result in a pregnancy, but the eggs gradually reduce in quantity and quality during lifetime. Which role does AMH play in the complex fertility process inside a woman’s body? Stay with us to learn the key facts.
AMH levels shouldn’t be considered rigid. Please use these values from the chart for reference only. Only a fertility doctor can assess your individual situation as a whole.
Age | Value, ng/mL |
18-25 | >3 |
26-30 | >2.5 |
31-40 | >1.5 |
41-45 | >0.5 |
Dietary Changes
Dietary changes do not affect IVF results directly, but obesity does. If your BMI is higher than 29 kg/m2, consider changing your lifestyle for a more active one and limit fatty foods.
Exercise and AMH Levels
Staying fit not only helps keep body stamina and resilience, but also postpones the aging of a woman’s reproductive system.
There are various brand supplements that are aggressively marketed as proven to boost AMH. They can include:
- DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone, polyfunctional steroid hormone that influences androgen and estrogen production),
- CoQ10 (Coenzyme Q10, antioxidant considered to counteract mitochondrial ovarian aging),
- Melatonin (a hormone and antioxidant synchronizing sleep-wake cycles),
- Vitamin D.
It is important to note that the volume of research is limited and causal relationships are yet to be established. Although there is evidence confirming that low Vitamin D level is linked to ovarian decline, we urge you to avoid falling for the myth of various AMH level enhancers. They cannot substitute proper infertility treatment using assisted reproductive technologies. Don’t postpone your IVF for a 6-month course of supplement intake.
The Impact of Environmental Factors on AMH
Avoiding Endocrine Disruptors
Environmental pollution is considered one of the factors for fertility decline in the modern population. Besides, noise has also been categorized as a pollutant that induces stress hormone levels’ rise and has adverse effects on health. So what to do about it? Avoid polluted environments, relocate to the countryside, quit your factory job if you can and stop eating over processed foods. These factors have been confirmed to put women’s fertility at risk.
The Role of Toxins in Decreasing AMH
As we have previously mentioned, exposure to toxins may disrupt ovulation and cause premature menopause. Modern food packaging, use of untested cosmetics and personal care products, inhaling car exhaust etc. should be considered as risk factors. Although it is hard to eliminate all risks, take them seriously.
Anti-mullerian hormone levels in women shouldn’t be considered the fertility’s Holy Grail that determines the outcome. Instead of focusing on the lab test result, we invite you to choose a holistic and practical stance. The final goal is to have a baby in your arms.
