Is IVF possible with with my own Oocytes? Posted: 09-02-06 07:44am
Hi, my anti mullarian hormone result was
0.77 (very low/undetectable) however my
FSH has been decreasing each month. 2
questions first: would it be possible to
try ivf with my own occytes if my FSH
becomes within acceptable levels
regardless of the AMH result?
Also, can the anti mullarian hormone
result ever change, i.e get better?
hope you can help,
clare

The Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is a
member of the transforming growth factor
ß family of growth and differentiation
factors. In the ovaries, AMH has an
inhibitory effect on primordial follicle
recruitment as well as on the
responsiveness of growing follicles to
follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH).
Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) has been
recently proposed as a marker for ovarian
ageing and poor ovarian response to
controlled ovarian hyperstimulation in
assisted reproduction cycles (“in vitro
fertilization”).
Serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels
provide a powerful means for predicting
ovarian response, which is reflected not
only by the size of the primordial
follicle pool but also by the quality of
the oocytes. Levels of AMH under 1,66
ng/ml or above 4,52 ng/ml indicates low
quality oocytes. Levels of AMH between
1,66 and 4,52 ng/mg promise high quality
oocytes but do not guarantee that
pregnancy will occur.
Nobody knows the answer to the second
question you ask, "Can the anti mullarian
hormone result ever change, i.e get
better?".Premature ovulation failure (POF)
is generally treated with hormone
replacement therapy (HRT). 8 % of patients
treated via HRT report success in
achieving pregnancy.
