Low Ovarian Reserve - High FSH or low AMH

Receiving a diagnosis of low ovarian reserve due to high follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) or low anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is quite a blow if you've been trying to conceive for a while. However, having a high FSH or low AMH level alone is not necessarily predictive of the time taken to fall pregnant. It is predictive of how well you would respond to IVF. These tests are routinely used in fertility clinics and have come to be used more generally to measure ‘fertility’.
Recent research has shown that these tests which estimate ovarian reserve, or the number of a woman's remaining eggs, before menopause, do not appear to predict short-term chances of conception.
In a study conducted at the University of North Carolina, 750 women from 30 to 44 years of age who had been attempting to conceive for three or fewer months with no known fertility issues, having either a high level of FSH or a low level of AMH made no significant difference to their results.
Egg quality is far more important than egg quantity when trying to conceive naturally. And that is where FertilitySmart Conceive for Women can help. It will promote a better hormonal balance and contains anti-oxidants to protect the rapidly developing eggs from the sort of DNA damage that could prevent conception. It promotes the growth of a healthy endometrial lining - also essential for a successful pregnancy. There are also some lifestyle interventions that might help - stopping smoking if you smoke, staying within or getting to a recommended range for BMI (neither too high or too low), moderate daily physical exercise, limiting or eliminating caffeine and alcohol. Reducing levels of stress through mindfulness/meditation has also been shown to be helpful.
