What Causes Very Low AMH? Causes, Tests and Homeopathy Treatment

Reviewed by Dr. Sourabh Welling, Founder

Homeopathic infertility treatment at Welling Homeopathy, Mumbai

Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is made by the small follicles in the ovaries and is used as a guide to ovarian reserve, the number of eggs a woman has left. A very low AMH is a worry for many women trying to conceive, but it is only one piece of the picture. This page explains what causes very low AMH, what the values mean, the conventional options and how Welling Homeopathy approaches low AMH.

Low AMH at a glance

  • What AMH shows: the size of the egg reserve (quantity), not egg quality or whether you will conceive.
  • Rough guide (varies by lab): about 1.0 to 3.5 ng/mL is typical; under about 1.0 ng/mL is low; under about 0.3 ng/mL is very low.
  • Main causes: age, previous ovarian surgery, endometriosis, chemotherapy or radiation, autoimmune disease and genetics.
  • Key tests: AMH with day-2/3 FSH and estradiol and an antral follicle count scan.
  • Our approach: individualised, non-hormonal homeopathic treatment to support natural conception.

What is low AMH?

As a woman ages, her levels of anti-Müllerian hormone start to decline. AMH is a protein produced by the follicles in the ovaries, the small sacs that each contain an egg. As the number of eggs falls with age, so does the level of AMH in the blood.

A high AMH points to a high ovarian reserve, and a low AMH to a low reserve. AMH alone cannot predict fertility: age, egg quality, tubes, the partner’s sperm and general health all matter, and a woman with low AMH can still conceive naturally.

Symptoms of low AMH

Common symptoms include:

  • Usually no symptoms: low AMH is found on a blood test
  • Periods that become shorter or more irregular
  • Not conceiving after trying for several months
  • A poor response to ovarian stimulation in an IVF cycle
  • Early menopause symptoms such as hot flushes in some women

Causes and risk factors of low AMH

Common causes and risk factors include:

  • Age, the commonest cause, with a steady fall especially after the mid-thirties
  • Previous ovarian surgery, such as removal of cysts or endometrioma
  • Endometriosis, which can damage ovarian tissue
  • Chemotherapy or pelvic radiation
  • Autoimmune conditions and genetic causes such as premature ovarian insufficiency
  • Smoking, which brings forward ovarian ageing
  • Hormonal contraception can temporarily lower the reading

How low AMH is diagnosed

Ovarian reserve is assessed through:

  • AMH blood test on any day of the cycle
  • Day-2 or day-3 FSH and estradiol blood tests
  • Antral follicle count on a transvaginal ultrasound
  • Thyroid, prolactin and other hormone tests
  • Assessment of the tubes and of the partner’s semen since they affect the plan

Warning signs: when to get urgent help

Please see a doctor promptly, and go to the nearest hospital emergency department if there is:

  • Sudden severe pelvic pain, especially with fainting, which may mean an ectopic pregnancy
  • Heavy vaginal bleeding with dizziness
  • No periods for more than three months, when not pregnant
  • Trying to conceive for six months or more, if you are over 35 or your AMH is low

Conventional treatment options

Conventional options depend on age and your goals:

  • Trying without delay, since time matters most with low reserve
  • Ovulation induction and IUI
  • IVF with ovarian stimulation or mild-stimulation cycles
  • Egg or embryo freezing if you are not ready now
  • Donor eggs when reserve is very low

Homeopathic medicines commonly considered for low AMH

These medicines are commonly considered in homeopathy for low AMH, with the symptom picture traditionally associated with each. They are listed for general information, not as a prescription.

Sepia: irregular periods with a dragging feeling in the pelvis, tiredness and irritability.

Pulsatilla: scanty or delayed periods in mild and weepy women.

Natrum muriaticum: irregular periods after grief or emotional hurt.

Calcarea carbonica: early or heavy periods with chilliness.

Lachesis: irregular periods with hot flushes, around the menopause.

The right medicine is chosen only after detailed case-taking by an experienced doctor.

Frequently asked questions about low AMH

1. What causes very low AMH?

The commonest cause is age. Others are previous ovarian surgery, endometriosis, chemotherapy or radiation, autoimmune disease, genetic causes and smoking.

2. What is a very low AMH level?

Laboratories differ, but under about 1.0 ng/mL is generally considered low and under about 0.3 ng/mL very low.

3. Can I get pregnant naturally with low AMH?

AMH measures the number of eggs, not their quality. Some women with low AMH conceive naturally, but because reserve may be falling, an early assessment is advised.

4. Can AMH be increased?

AMH mainly reflects the number of remaining follicles, so it cannot be raised by medicine in the same way as other hormones. Treatment focuses on supporting ovulation and the chance of conception.

5. What is the homeopathic treatment for low AMH?

Homeopathic treatment is individualised: the medicine is chosen after detailed case-taking, based on your cycles, symptoms and general health.

6. Can I consult Welling Homeopathy online for low AMH?

Yes. You can share your AMH and scan reports and consult our specialists online from anywhere. We have been consulting patients online for 25 years.

7. Which is the best homeopathic medicine for low AMH?

There is no single best homeopathic medicine for low AMH. Sepia, Pulsatilla, Natrum muriaticum, Calcarea carbonica and Lachesis are among the medicines traditionally considered, but the right medicine depends on your symptoms, what brings them on or eases them, your general health and your personality. At Welling Homeopathy our specialists choose it after a detailed case-taking, so please consult them rather than choosing a medicine yourself.

8. How long does homeopathic treatment for low AMH take?

The duration depends on how long you have had low AMH, how severe it is, what treatment you have already taken and your general health. Some people notice a change in their symptoms within weeks, while others need several months of regular follow-up. Your specialist will explain what to expect at your first consultation and review your progress at each follow-up.

9. Is it safe to take homeopathic medicines along with my current medicines for low AMH?

Homeopathic medicines are highly diluted and are not known to interfere with other medicines, but you should always tell your doctor and our specialists about everything you take. Please do not stop, skip or change any prescribed medicine on your own; any change should be discussed with the doctor who prescribed it.

10. What are the early signs of low AMH?

There are usually no symptoms; low AMH is found on a blood test, sometimes with shorter or irregular periods or difficulty in conceiving.

11. What should I eat or avoid if I have low AMH?

Eat a balanced diet with vegetables, fruit, nuts, pulses and protein, keep a healthy weight, quit smoking and limit alcohol.

12. What is the difference between conventional and homeopathic treatment of low AMH?

Conventional treatment uses trying early, ovulation induction with IUI, IVF with ovarian stimulation, egg or embryo freezing, and donor eggs when reserve is very low. Homeopathic treatment, in contrast, is individualised: the medicine is chosen for you as a whole person, after detailed case-taking, and is offered alongside the conventional care that your doctor advises.

13. Who is the best homeopathy doctor for low AMH in Mumbai?

Dr. Sourabh Welling, M.D., founder of Welling Homeopathy, Mumbai, who has over 25 years of experience, treats low AMH with individualised homeopathic care, together with a team of senior specialists. You can consult him and the team at our Mumbai clinics or online.
