advice needed - conflicting AMH and AFC

Hi everyone,

I took an at home AMH test (medichecks) on day 3 of my current cycle and it came back low at 14pmol/l. I was shocked as I had only done it the prior month and it was 32pmol/l so I feel panicked. I had a baseline ultrasound test done last week on day 8 of my cycle, so 5 days after I received my AMH results and it was amazing - I had 25 antral follicles! I explained my low AMH to the sonographer and she said it's likely a lab error as they are way to conflicting why how many eggs I had on the scan.

Has anyone else experienced this? I'm retesting my amh as I want to prove it was a fluke as im now stressed my egg reserve is dropping.

AMH is very variable and can be increased or decreased through lifestyle changes. AFC is much more accurate as that shows exactly how many follicles (and eggs) your ovaries are producing each month. Your results are excellent, you don't need to worry on that front

Thank you, this is reassuring!
