Hypothesis
This study aims to determine age-specific ranges of AMH in women with proven fertility.
Conclusion
Fertile women show declining AMH levels with age, which are lower than those in infertile women.
Supporting Evidence
- AMH levels declined with advancing female age from 0.9-1.1 to 0.6-0.9 and 0.2-0.4 ng/mL.
- AMH levels were lower than reported in the literature for infertile patients.
- The study found no significant association between AMH levels and the resumption of menses.
Takeaway
As women get older, their AMH levels go down, even if they are fertile, and these levels are lower than those found in women who have trouble getting pregnant.
Methodology
210 fertile women aged 18-40 were recruited for AMH measurements within 14 days after delivery, stratified into three age groups.
Limitations
The study only included women with proven fertility, which may not reflect the general population.
Participant Demographics
Women aged 18-40 years, with spontaneous conception within six months.
