If blood tests reveal that your Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) levels are low, talk with your fertility coordinator. While AMH levels naturally decrease as you age, a low level can mean that you have a low egg count.[1] Don’t worry—you’re not alone. We’re here to walk through plenty of helpful tips that will help you adjust your diet, make lifestyle changes, and better understand your AMH levels.

Tips
- Since AMH is an indicator of fertility, there aren't any direct treatments like AMH injections. Instead, fertility coordinators may suggest starting in-vitro fertilization treatments.Thanks

About This Article
If a blood test says your AMH levels are low, you can improve your fertility by adjusting your diet and exercising. Try to incorporate healthy foods like leafy greens, beans, and berries into every meal. That way, you’ll get lots of antioxidants, healthy fats, vitamins, and lean protein, which is the best way to treat low AMH levels. Vitamin D has been shown to directly increase AMH levels, so consider adding a Vitamin D supplement to your daily regimen. However, talk to your doctor before adding any supplements to your diet, so they can help you figure out a safe dosage. In addition to a healthy diet, increase the amount of exercise you get per week since being overweight or underweight can lead to hormone imbalance.
