AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone) is a blood test that estimates your ovarian reserve - roughly how many eggs you have left. As a guide, AMH is often around 2.0-6.8 ng/mL under 30, 1.5-4.0 ng/mL at 30-35, 1.0-3.0 ng/mL at 35-40, and below 1.0 ng/mL is common after 40. A low AMH means fewer eggs, not infertility - egg quality, driven by age, matters more.
AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone) is produced by the small, developing follicles in your ovaries, so the level reflects how many eggs remain - your “ovarian reserve.” It is a simple blood test that can be taken on any day of your cycle, since AMH stays fairly steady month to month. The chart below gives general AMH ranges by age for Indian women; treat them as orientation, not a pass-or-fail score, because labs, assays and individuals vary.
One practical caveat: AMH is reported in different units. Indian labs usually use ng/mL, but some use pmol/L (1 ng/mL ≈ 7.14 pmol/L). Always check which unit your report uses before comparing it to any chart, and read it against an age-matched range rather than a single “normal” figure.
AMH testing is widely available and affordable across India, and for couples in Gurgaon and Delhi NCR, it is usually one of the first tests offered during a fertility assessment. A single AMH blood test typically costs a modest amount and can be done on any day of the cycle, often with same-day or next-day results. Some Indian studies suggest women here may reach lower ovarian-reserve values at slightly younger ages than older Western reference charts assume, which is one reason to interpret your result against an India-relevant, age-matched range and alongside other tests rather than in isolation. It is also worth knowing that a single AMH value is a snapshot - your specialist will combine it with your age, cycle history and an ultrasound (antral follicle count) to build the full picture. Because reference ranges and pricing differ between centres, confirm both with the clinic when you test.
AMH is a useful number, but it answers a narrower question than most people assume. It estimates quantity (how many eggs) rather than quality (whether those eggs can support a healthy pregnancy). Understanding that distinction prevents a lot of unnecessary worry.
Three tests are commonly used together to assess ovarian reserve, and they measure slightly different things:
No single test is the full story. AMH and AFC tend to agree and are best at predicting how the ovaries will respond to IVF medication; FSH adds another angle. None of them reliably predicts whether you will conceive naturally.
Yes - and this is the most important and most misunderstood point. Large studies have found that women with low AMH (even below 1.0 ng/mL) do not have a lower chance of conceiving naturally, or a lower future live-birth rate, than women with normal AMH - provided their cycles are regular. The reason is simple: for natural conception, you only need one good egg, and a low reserve does mean no good eggs. Where low AMH genuinely matters is in IVF, because fewer eggs can be collected in a stimulation cycle. So a low result is a reason to seek timely advice, not a verdict on your fertility. A fertility specialist consultation can interpret your AMH in the context of your age and cycles.
Egg quality - the chance an egg is genetically normal - is driven mainly by age, not by AMH. This is why a 30-year-old with a slightly low AMH often has better odds in a given month than a 42-year-old with a higher AMH: the younger woman has fewer eggs, but they are statistically more likely to be healthy. When you read your AMH, read your age alongside it.
A low AMH for your age can have several explanations. The most common is simply age, but other factors contribute:
Two practical questions follow almost every low result: can I raise my AMH, and what does it mean for treatment? Here, honesty matters more than hope marketing.
Not in the way many websites imply. You are born with all the eggs you will ever have, and no diet, supplement or lifestyle change can create new ones or meaningfully raise your true ovarian reserve. There is no reliable evidence that AMH can be significantly increased. What you can do is protect the eggs you have and support overall reproductive health - not smoking, maintaining a healthy weight, eating well, managing stress, and treating underlying conditions. Some supplements are discussed in fertility care, but the evidence is limited, and they should only be considered under medical guidance, never self-prescribed. The single most effective response to a low AMH is not to chase the number, but to make timely decisions about trying or treatment.
AMH plays a role mainly in treatment planning. It helps a specialist predict how your ovaries will respond to stimulation and tailor the approach accordingly - a higher reserve may call for a gentler approach to avoid over-response, while a lower reserve may prompt a different strategy or earlier action. It can also inform conversations about egg freezing for those who want to preserve options. Crucially, AMH guides the plan; it does not decide the outcome. Your Cloudnine fertility specialist will use it alongside your age, AFC, and history to recommend the right next step.
AMH testing is quick and low-cost, and worth doing in any of these situations.
If you are in Gurgaon or Delhi NCR, you can book a fertility consultation to test and interpret your AMH with a specialist.
The table below is a general orientation. Your age and individual circumstances matter as much as the number, so use it to frame a conversation, not to predict your result.
