Validez del Estudio de Hormona Antimuleriana para predecir la Fertilidad Femenina (AMH

en inglés o HAM en español)

Extraido de la cuenta Fertility Nutritionist en Instagram Londres.

The fertility MOT test or 'egg reserve' test called AHM - Anti mullerian hormone, is used in
IVF clinics to determine how ‘fertile’ you are or more appropriately how well you may
respond to fertility drugs. In recent years it’s also been used to determine overall fertility. .
.
I have been wary of this test which was introduced in around 2002 and recent trails
have now confirmed that it is in fact not as reliable as originally touted.
The study, from the University of North Carolina and published in the Journal of the
American Medical Association (JAMA)was conducted among 750 women aged 30 to 44
years without a history of infertility who had been trying to conceive for three months or
less. .
An article in the �� telegraph quoted Dr Channa Jayasena, clinical senior lecturer at
Imperial College London, who said: "Hormone levels change with time, so taking a
snapshot today tells us very little about what women's fertility will be like tomorrow.
"This study tells us that measuring these hormones to predict fertility in potentially
worried and vulnerable women is wrong, and should be stopped." .
.
The reason I’m talking about this is yet another client I have was told she had a super low
AMH, and was pushed to a high fertility drug protocol and ended up hyper stimulating
through IVF with 20 eggs. �� What do I use as a measure of reproductive flow? I use the
full Hypothalamus pituitary adrenal axis and Hypothalamus pituitary ovarian axis as well as
antral follicle scanning. I check out a full 3 months of regular hormone blood serum tests -
and not your basics. Full thyroid and antibody checks are important too ( check out my link
if in U.K. on profile to these tests) . I also use tests that look at metabolites of hormones
such as the Dutch test, to look at oestrogen, DHEA, testosterone and progesterone as well
as genetic markers and enzymes that break down oestrogen and adrenal function. All have
a bearing on what's going on and what kind of conversation your brain is having with your
body. See my highlights for details of the JAMA review and an article I wrote on this in
2014.
