IVF Success & Egg Reserve (AMH)

Deconstructing the IVF Journey

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is one of the most effective treatments for couples facing unexplained infertility, tubal factors, severe endometriosis, or male fertility issues.

Success in IVF is never down to random chance. It is determined by specific biological variables, advanced laboratory methodologies, and personalized clinical planning. Here is a breakdown of the core success factors:

1. Ovarian Reserve and the AMH Hormone

Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) is a blood marker that reflects the number of remaining eggs inside a woman's ovaries (the ovarian reserve):

• High AMH (>3.0 ng/mL): Suggests a robust egg reserve (frequently seen in PMOS), requiring careful stimulation dosages.
• Normal AMH (1.5 - 3.0 ng/mL): Indicates an optimal, healthy reserve for reproductive stimulation.
• Low AMH (<1.0 ng/mL): Reflects a diminished ovarian reserve, prompting personalized stimulation protocols to prioritize egg quality over quantity.

2. Maternal Age & Embryonic Quality

The age of the mother remains one of the most critical predictors of chromosomal embryo health. Customized lab techniques like ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) or blastocyst culture (growing embryos to day 5) help select the healthiest embryos for transfer.

3. Endometrial Receptivity

The lining of the uterus (endometrium) must be receptive, thick, and healthy to support successful implantation. We use specialized hormone prep cycles and ultrasound mapping to verify optimal endometrial thickness (>8mm) before transfer.
