LU“They said I won’t be able to get pregnant”
I hear this all the time…especially from women in their 20s/30s, who have a low egg count, but still get their periods regularly… it breaks my heart. It’s just such a crushing and inaccurate statement to make. It’s careless and irresponsible. Let’s clear this up: Low AMH does NOT equal infertility.
AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone) is a marker of your egg quantity, not your ability to get pregnant right now. If you’re ovulating regularly, you are still releasing one egg per cycle—and it only takes one. Whether your ovaries are recruiting 5 eggs or 25 each month doesn’t change the basic biology of how natural conception works. You’re not ovulating a dozen eggs at once—just one lucky contender.
Having regular periods is a good sign your ovaries are still functioning. That’s what really matters when trying to conceive without treatment.
AMH predicts yield of eggs at retrieval and response to solution. Low AMH *can* be an early warning sign that you may run out of eggs sooner than expected, especially if you’re young and your level is lower than age-matched norms. It may also mean fewer eggs retrieved during an egg freezing or IVF cycle. But it doesn’t mean you can’t get pregnant.
Where low AMH can become a problem is when it drops below a critical threshold where ovulation becomes erratic—or stops altogether. This typically shows up as irregular cycles or skipped periods. But many people with low AMH in their early 30s can maintain stable ovulation for years.
If you’ve been told you’ll “never get pregnant” based on AMH alone—please get a second opinion. And empower yourself with facts, not fear.
