Brief Answer:
High AMH associated with poor egg quality
Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
AMH basically represents the number of follicles which are going to be active in each cycle and thus higher the AMH, more are the number of follicles recruited and thus higher chances of OHSS in case ovulation induction drugs are given.
AMH if high confirms the presence of PCOD.
Also high AMH is commonly associated with poor egg quality and thus higher chance of implantation failure, abortion and preterm labor pains.
I hope I have explained to you all aspects related to high AMH but in case you have any questions about it, I will be glad to answer.
Regards

Ok thanks....how bad is an AMH level of 10??given that normal ranges is frm 4 to 6.8 ...
Brief Answer:
Very high
Detailed Answer:
AMH levels of 10 is very high.
Upper level of 6.8 is also high and rather it should be be around 3-5 to be in a normal range.
But since there is no drug to lower the AMH, all you can do is to decrease weight in case you are overweight.
Even if you have a normal weight still any sort of aerobic exercise can help you to control the disease process to a great extent.
Take care.

Does this affect my chances of conceiving and maintaining a healthy pregnancy?could This one of the reason i miscarried? I am not overweight .
Brief Answer:
can cause problems in conception
Detailed Answer:
Yes dear it can definitely reduce the chances of conception and of course increased risk of miscarriage.
Your previous miscarriage could have been due to this only but not necessarily.
This is for sure that poor egg and embryo quality in PCOD can cause it, but since you are not overweight chance of adverse effects is lesser as compared to the patients with obesity along with PCOD.
Start an exercise schedule and follow it nicely and I'm sure you will have a healthy pregnancy soon.
