Low AMH and IVF – The bigger picture.
Avoid IVF pitfalls and find success along the road of AMH infertility.
This is what you need to know about low AMH and IVF in a nutshell – Women with perfect AMH levels still don’t get pregnant using IVF. Women with terrible AMH levels still fall pregnant naturally. IVF really struggles to help women with low AMH levels fall pregnant. But there is a way to help yourself and improve your chances.
This article will put you ahead of the curve using IVF for low AMH treatment.
“Do IVF before it is too late”
This standard response from doctors is expensive and often fruitless advice. You will learn there is much more to your AMH infertility story than what your doctors may explain. Follow this advice and beat the odds. You can fall pregnant when you have low AMH levels.
Let’s go behind the IVF and low AMH scene to see the bigger picture.
The lower your AMH levels are, the harder it is to grow a good quality egg to fertilize and turn into a baby.
Dr Scott Martin
Who does IVF work well for?
It is a fact that the younger a woman is the more likely she is to fall pregnant. Results from the largest collective IVF studies conclude the following:
Female age has long been the single most prognostic factor for success: the younger the woman the higher the chances of live birth after IVF treatment.
Women under 30 using IVF treatment have boosted IVF pregnancy rates from 17% to 22% in the last decade. Conclusions from this large analysis go on to show, that regardless of any pre-existing fertility problem, age is the determining factor for success.
What is the thread connecting the declining IVF success rates for all women, regardless of the fertility problem? The inevitable decline of AMH levels.
Who does IVF not work so well for?
Once a woman is over 36 years of age AMH levels are the main prognostic factor for IVF success. Conclusion: the younger a woman is and the closer her AMH levels: the more likely she is to fall pregnant using IVF.
IVF clinics quote different levels of success. What you don’t know is these success rates are not based on the results of a single IVF cycle, rather what may be achieved by the end of 11 IVF cycles.
Across IVF research, the evidence says doing more than 6 IVF cycles shows very little improvement in pregnancy rates. These results do not include pre-existing fertility problems of low AMH levels.
Age is the determining factor for success because AMH declines as we get older.
Low AMH and IVF
You have seen behind the curtain of IVF pregnancies. Age is the most important factor, and AMH levels tie the decline of IVF pregnancies to all women using the treatment.
Lowering AMH levels determine the success rates of all IVF procedures.
So what can IVF offer women when AMH levels are lower than expected?
Once a low AMH diagnosis is confirmed, doctors say that IVF is the only hope for a pregnancy. “Time is running out, use IVF before it is too late,” is told to hopeful parents the world over. Let’s look into the facts behind this statement.
Time is running out
- Your natural fertility window ends at 45-years of age for most women. Time has generally run out.
- If you are 40-year old or more your fertility window is closing. Time, like AMH levels, is indeed running out for all women – not just you.
- Low AMH levels do not mean you are running out time.
- Low AMH levels are linked to the number of eggs you have in reserve, causing doctors to promote urgency for treatment- “before you run out.”
Use IVF before it is too late.
- IVF success rates are half of what natural pregnancy rates achieve over 40-years of age and beyond.
- Low AMH levels do not specifically reduce your ovarian reserve – you are not actually running out of eggs.
- A low AMH diagnosis does not mean it is too late to fall pregnant, only that it is too late for IVF to be effective. There is a big difference here.
Is it too late to fall pregnant, or too late for IVF to help me?
- When doctors say time is running out – you may not be running out of time to fall pregnant, you are most likely running out of time for IVF to help you.
- Low AMH levels ruin the chances of mothers and IVF doctors to be successful using IVF treatment. It does not mean IVF is your only chance of falling pregnant.
When is it too late?
As of 2020, “When is it too late” is easy to answer when it comes to IVF treatment.
- When your day 3 FSH levels are over 16 IU/L IVF doesn’t work.
- For IVF treatment the further your day 3 FSH levels are over 16 IU/L it does not matter what your AMH levels are – IVF just doesn’t work.
- The lower your AMH levels are, the less likely IVF is to work, regardless of FSH levels.
Will raising AMH levels reduce FSH levels?
- If you have normal AMH levels, it is most likely you will have normal FSH levels.
- The lower your AMH drops, the higher your FSH levels rise to compensate for egg production. The net result is lesser quality eggs ovulated.
- You need your AMH levels to be as close to normal for pregnancy. FSH will typically drop as AMH levels improve. Think of the balance like a see-saw.
- Restoring the correct balance between AMH and FSH is the key to using your own eggs for pregnancy.
The secret to success
Fix your low AMH levels before going into IVF. This will give you the best chance for IVF ovarian stimulating drugs to do their work properly. A 3-month treatment of Ovance and MaybeBaby could be the very thing that gets you over the line with an IVF success.

The origin of infertility
You don’t decide if you get pregnant, your body does!
Look at it this way and see if it is a fit for you. Your body does almost everything for you and makes all the decisions on how you feel and what you can do. Much like animals that can only breed when the seasons are right, your body will not grow you a baby if it does not have the resources to do so.
HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOUR BODY IS KEEPING UP WITH YOU?
When you wake in the morning you feel like getting out of bed and getting into your day. When you get home at night you are not completely exhausted. You do not feel like you are running on empty all the time. New challenges arise and you have the strength to meet them.
If your body is having a hard time keeping up with the demands you place upon it, it does not have enough energy to grow you a baby. Your body can prevent you from falling pregnant. It does so by diverting energy away from your reproductive systems.
Dr Scott Martin
How do energy levels affect fertility?
Your body is very very smart. It keeps you alive with minimal intervention from you. Your responsibilities to the body are mostly sleeping, eating, going to the toilet and not hurting yourself. Apart from that, your body does everything else for you.
Reproduction is a bonus function of the body.
If your body is having a hard time keeping up with the demands you place upon it, it does not have enough energy to grow you a baby. Your body can prevent you from falling pregnant. It does so by diverting energy away from your reproductive systems. An easy way for your body to stop you falling pregnant is to take energy away from growing your eggs. Your body has down-regulated AMH and now poorly produces eggs that cannot be fertilized.
Why doesn’t your body stop producing eggs entirely?
Producing eggs and being fertile is normal. Your body has the imperative to reproduce – it is the primary function of every living thing on the planet. It can take a long time for your body to wind down a person’s fertility (this goes for men too). Your body wants everything to be normal and in balance. Homeostasis is the default application of your body. If you are out of balance, your body will do a juggling act to do the best it can. Your body may fail over time to sustain a healthy self when challenged with the demands of your life. This is the origin of imbalance and disease in a person’s body.
How can you realign your body fertility?
The hardest part… Your body wants the best for you – it is trying to survive. Our life and lifestyles and the things that happen to us, place challenges on our daily survival and ensuring health. Auto-immune diseases are a really easy way to understand that your body is struggling. Your immune system is designed to protect you and help in you in case of emergency, then all of a sudden it turns around and attacks you instead? That is a real problem and an extraordinary imbalance between you, your life, and your body. You are out of touch with your body and headed for long term health disaster.
The easy part… Listen to your body! For the most part, it is vastly more intelligent than us and tends to have your best interests at heart. If you are tired go to sleep. If you don’t like something in your life and it is making your life a misery – change it. Look after yourself and it will look after you. Do what you need to do instead of doing what are supposed to do. Get up, walk, breathe fresh air, reduce your stress, call your closest friends and meet up with them, eat well, sleep better and engage in relationships that make you feel good about yourself and the people you are with.

More than 1 year ago, my husband and I had a failed IVF. The doctor diagnosed me with polycystic ovarian syndrome and an AMH level of 1.1. I found this website and followed Dr. Martin’s advise to take PCOS and Ovance for 3 months. I got pregnant 3 months after I started the formulas. My baby is now almost 5 months old. I will be 40 yo this July and would like to try for a 2nd baby. My doctor took my AMH levels 2 days ago and it is 1.5! Taking Ovance last year has not only increased my AMH but also given me one healthy baby girl!

After blood work and an ultrasound, the fertility doctor said there is no way to use my own eggs because of very low egg quality. My AMH level was 0.13, the doctor said there is no treatment to raise the AMH Level and we would need egg donation. I felt hopeless and frustrated, just didn’t know what to do.
Dr Scott Martin gave me new hope and the supplements really work! It has been 6 months since I started taking these supplements and the results are positive. My AMH level is higher.

I took ovance the combo and my AMH has gone up. At first, it was 0.064 and now it is 0.99 in just 3 months. I’m not pregnant yet but fingers crossed! I will be ordering more of them soon. Thanks Dr. Scott

I don’t usually write reviews but the Ovance RPM combo is the real deal. I’m 42 and my AMH was less than 0.1 and my Dr. was basically telling us that our only hope was IVF with a donor egg. I’m not pregnant yet but I retested my AMH and it is now 0.99 after 3 months! Truly an amazing medication. We are going to be ordering a 6 month supply and safe baby as well. Good luck to you all. If you are skeptical I say follow Dr. Scott Martin’s advice and try Ovance and retest your labs you will be a believer like my husband and me.

I had an AMH of 0.2 and FSH of 14 and I am 42. My husband’s count was a little on the low side. We did the Couples Fertility Program for 7 months, first, menovance 2 for 3 months, and we placed a second order, but by the time we finished the second order I was pregnant. It really does work! The key is to have patience. I wish you guys all the best I never thought it could happen but it did. Thanks, DR Scott

I am 45 years old female, who started trying to have kids at age 40. When I was unsuccessful, I looked to IVF. When I went to the doctor, she said I was just too old, though all my tests were normal. I gave up hope, but then over the next 2 years, I got pregnant twice but unfortunately miscarried. I then decided to return to some kind of fertility evaluation over the last 2 years. I got pregnant one more time and again miscarried. I started looking for help and found Advanced Fertility Solutions. Since then I have been able to do ivf/egg retrievals and able to fertilize 9 of my eggs. I am happy with what I have been to achieve and recommend this company if you are having issues.

I have been using this Ultimate Fertility Package for 6 months and I had a good jump in my AMH from 0.1 to 0.4! it is still too low to perform any IFV treatment but I do have my faith in this package and will continue taking them. Ohh and I went from no periods for 6 months to regular cycles thanks to this miracle package. Thank you!

At 45 years of age, my AMH was very low, 0.4. After just one month of taking the Ovance +RPM, my AMH increased to 1.25! I decided to have my AMH tested once per month so I could keep up with the results. The next month it had dropped to .95. The third month back up to 1.5. I am continuing this product as well as the IVF 1& 2, as I will be undergoing IVF soon. I was able to get one healthy blastocyst and hopefully, I will get successful implantation. Before I started Dr. Martin’s program, I had 1 unsuccessful Ivf with no blastocysts. I am very pleased with Dr. Martin and his miracle supplements. He is wonderful at communicating, asking how you’re doing and offering any help and advice he can. That’s something I really appreciate. His pills also make me feel so much better in general too.

After 6 months of taking the Ultimate Fertility Combination my latest blood test shows my AMH has increased from 0.91 to 1.75 pmol/l or 0.22 to 0.77 nglml. I will continue taking it and remain hopeful for a baby coming my way – better late than never! All the very best of luck to all the ladies out there waiting for their baby miracle!

It worked! It increased my AMH level in three months. I am 40 years old with fibroid in my uterus, chocolate cyst at the ovary and very low AMH, After the first month, I started noticing better skin and fewer mood swings. I definitely recommend it and will buy it again.

My Amh level was 0.37 and it was very frustrating as the chances of successful IVF were low. I took Ovance + Rpm formula for 3 months and now my Amh has risen to .56. I have ordered another 3 months supply. Would recommend to all who are struggling with low Amh level.

I have very low AMH/high FSH and imbalanced hormones. I have been taking this combination for 5 months now. I have noticed deeper sleep at night and more energy during the day. I also have had a greater amount of cervical fluid around my ovulation time, that I did not have much of before taking these pills. I am not pregnant yet, but feel better overall and have not had any negative side effects from these herbs. I highly recommend these herbs.

The Ultimate Fertility Combination is very easy to take and doesn’t upset your stomach. I’m 42 and had an AMH of only .18 when I started the product and also had very light flow every month. Although we still haven’t conceived yet, my AMH did double and my period flow improved greatly. I highly recommend the product.

Hi Dr. Scott, I have been taking the Ovance and Maybe 1 formula; I am happy to share my AMH result … Two years ago my level was 1.25, then we did IVF, 2 rounds of egg retrieval, and my AMH went down to 1.05. I just started using Ovance and I am very thrilled with my AMH result, back to 1.25. This is just the beginning, and thank you for this amazing product!
