Low AMH
AMH determines the number of eggs left in the ovaries. More the value of AMH, more are the number of oocytes and less the value of AMH less are the number of oocytes.
AMH (anti-Mullerian hormone) is a hormone produced by the granulosa cells of the follicles. Thus, more the AMH, more will be the number of follicles in the ovaries. AMH determines ovarian reserves. Patient with high ovarian reserves will have higher AMH and one with low ovarian reserves will have low AMH.

Its important to remember that AMH will not determine the quality of eggs. Even women with low AMH can conceive if their egg quality is good. We are all born with a fixed number of eggs and over the age these eggs decrease. Women who have a low AMH should conceive soon or then freeze their eggs for later use. Since this is an indicator that the egg reserves are decreasing.
With age all women will see a decrease in the AMH levels. This is normal, but only if a woman wants to conceive and AMH is falling she should consult a fertility doctor.
