AFC is usually assessed during the early follicular phase of the menstrual cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AFC can help your doctor estimate the number of recruitable follicles and predict how your ovaries may respond to stimulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How Is AFC Performed?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AFC is performed during a transvaginal ultrasound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The specialist examines both ovaries and counts the visible antral follicles. The procedure is generally similar to a routine transvaginal ultrasound, although some patients may experience temporary pressure or discomfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The timing of the scan can matter because follicle visibility and measurements may vary during the menstrual cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is an AMH Test?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AMH is measured through a blood test and generally does not require an ultrasound or a specific day of the menstrual cycle. However, hormonal contraceptives can lower AMH levels and should be considered when interpreting the result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AMH is widely used to assess ovarian reserve and can help fertility specialists estimate how the ovaries may respond to fertility medication. Learn more about <a href=\"https:\/\/genesisfertility.co.th\/en\/amh-test-ovarian-reserve\/\">AMH testing and ovarian reserve<\/a>, including how to prepare for the test, what your results mean, and why AMH levels matter for IVF and ICSI treatment planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">AFC vs AMH: Which Test Is Better?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is no single \u201cbetter\u201d test for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AFC and AMH provide similar information about ovarian reserve but use different methods. AMH is convenient because it requires only a blood test, while AFC provides a direct ultrasound count of visible antral follicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Current guidance supports using either AFC or AMH to predict whether a patient may have a low or high response to ovarian stimulation. Your fertility specialist may choose one test or use both depending on your medical history and treatment plan. For patients planning treatment, learn more about <a href=\"https:\/\/genesisfertility.co.th\/en\/services\/ivf-icsi-bangkok\/\">ICSI in Bangkok<\/a>, including how ovarian reserve testing informs medication dosing and stimulation protocols.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The important question is not simply which test is better. It is which assessment provides the most useful information for your treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Might a Doctor Recommend Both AFC and AMH?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AFC and AMH can provide complementary information about ovarian reserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before IVF\/ICSI or egg freezing, these assessments can help your fertility team estimate how your ovaries may respond to stimulation and plan an appropriate medication protocol. Review GFC&#8217;s current <a href=\"https:\/\/genesisfertility.co.th\/en\/icsi-price-packages-2026\/\">ICSI costs (2026)<\/a> for package tiers, eligibility criteria (including AMH \u2265 1.2 ng\/mL), medication limits, and additional services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, having both tests does not automatically mean that the assessment will be more accurate. Your doctor will interpret the results together with age, medical history, ultrasound findings, fertility goals and previous treatment response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/genesisfertility.co.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Why-Might-a-Doctor-Recommend-Both-AFC-and-AMH.png\" alt=\"ovarian reserve assessment\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.4409937888198758;width:696px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<style>\n  .gfc-line-wrap { text-align: center; margin: 24px 0; }<br \/>\n  .gfc-line-btn {<br \/>\n    display: inline-flex;<br \/>\n    align-items: center;<br \/>\n    gap: 12px;<br \/>\n    background-color: #06C755;<br \/>\n    color: #ffffff !important;<br \/>\n    font-family: inherit;<br \/>\n    font-size: 18px;<br \/>\n    font-weight: 700;<br \/>\n    line-height: 1;<br \/>\n    letter-spacing: 0.2px;<br \/>\n    text-decoration: none !important;<br \/>\n    padding: 15px 34px;<br \/>\n    border-radius: 9999px;<br \/>\n    box-shadow: 0 6px 18px rgba(6, 199, 85, 0.30);<br \/>\n    transition: background-color .2s ease, transform .2s ease, box-shadow .2s ease;<br \/>\n  }<br \/>\n  .gfc-line-btn:hover,<br \/>\n  .gfc-line-btn:focus {<br \/>\n    background-color: #05B34C;<br \/>\n    transform: translateY(-2px);<br \/>\n    box-shadow: 0 10px 24px rgba(6, 199, 85, 0.40);<br \/>\n    color: #ffffff !important;<br \/>\n  }<br \/>\n  .gfc-line-btn:active { transform: translateY(0); }<br \/>\n  .gfc-line-btn svg { width: 26px; height: 26px; flex: none; }<br \/>\n  @media (max-width: 480px) {<br \/>\n    .gfc-line-btn { display: inline-flex; width: 100%; justify-content: center; padding: 15px 24px; font-size: 17px; }<br \/>\n  }<br \/>\n<\/style>\n\n\n\n<style>\n  .gfc-line-wrap { text-align: center; margin: 24px 0; }\n  .gfc-line-btn {\n    display: inline-flex;\n    align-items: center;\n    gap: 12px;\n    background-color: #06C755;\n    color: #ffffff !important;\n    font-family: inherit;\n    font-size: 18px;\n    font-weight: 700;\n    line-height: 1;\n    letter-spacing: 0.2px;\n    text-decoration: none !important;\n    padding: 15px 34px;\n    border-radius: 9999px;\n    box-shadow: 0 6px 18px rgba(6, 199, 85, 0.30);\n    transition: background-color .2s ease, transform .2s ease, box-shadow .2s ease;\n  }\n  .gfc-line-btn:hover,\n  .gfc-line-btn:focus {\n    background-color: #05B34C;\n    transform: translateY(-2px);\n    box-shadow: 0 10px 24px rgba(6, 199, 85, 0.40);\n    color: #ffffff !important;\n  }\n  .gfc-line-btn:active { transform: translateY(0); }\n  .gfc-line-btn svg { width: 26px; height: 26px; flex: none; }\n  @media (max-width: 480px) {\n    .gfc-line-btn { display: inline-flex; width: 100%; justify-content: center; padding: 15px 24px; font-size: 17px; }\n  }\n<\/style>\n\n<div class=\"gfc-line-wrap\">\n  <a class=\"gfc-line-btn\" href=\"https:\/\/page.line.me\/gfcclinic?openQrModal=true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n    <svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n      <path fill=\"#ffffff\" d=\"M12 3C6.477 3 2 6.66 2 11.17c0 4.04 3.55 7.42 8.35 8.06.325.07.767.214.879.492.1.252.066.646.032.9l-.142.854c-.043.252-.2.986.864.538 1.064-.448 5.74-3.38 7.83-5.788C21.286 14.6 22 12.98 22 11.17 22 6.66 17.523 3 12 3zM8.11 13.42H6.13a.523.523 0 0 1-.523-.522v-3.96a.523.523 0 0 1 1.046 0v3.437H8.11a.523.523 0 0 1 0 1.045zm2.05-.522a.523.523 0 0 1-1.046 0v-3.96a.523.523 0 0 1 1.046 0v3.96zm4.77 0a.523.523 0 0 1-.358.496.53.53 0 0 1-.165.026.52.52 0 0 1-.42-.21l-2.03-2.762v2.45a.523.523 0 0 1-1.046 0v-3.96a.522.522 0 0 1 .94-.313l2.033 2.766V8.938a.523.523 0 0 1 1.046 0v3.96zm3.2-2.503a.523.523 0 0 1 0 1.046h-1.457v.934h1.457a.523.523 0 0 1 0 1.045H16.32a.523.523 0 0 1-.522-.522v-3.96a.523.523 0 0 1 .522-.523h1.98a.523.523 0 0 1 0 1.046h-1.457v.934h1.457z\"\/>\n    <\/svg>\n    Chat with us on LINE\n  <\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is a Normal AFC?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is no single AFC number that is normal for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AFC varies with age and individual factors. A fertility specialist should interpret the result alongside the ultrasound findings and overall clinical picture rather than relying on one universal cutoff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A lower AFC may indicate a lower ovarian reserve compared with what would be expected for someone of a similar age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, a low AFC does not mean that you have no eggs left or that pregnancy is impossible. [<em>source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.merckmanuals.com\/professional\/gynecology-and-obstetrics\/infertility-and-recurrent-pregnancy-loss\/diminished-ovarian-reserve\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MerkManual<\/a><\/em>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is a Normal AMH?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is also no single AMH level that is normal for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AMH varies with age and may also be affected by hormonal contraceptive use and the laboratory assay used. Results should therefore be interpreted using the laboratory&#8217;s reference range and the patient&#8217;s individual circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A low AMH can be associated with diminished ovarian reserve, while a higher AMH may indicate a greater number of recruitable follicles. For patients with PCOS, who often have higher AMH levels, see the guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/genesisfertility.co.th\/en\/pcos-polycystic-ovary-fertility-impact\/\">PCOS and fertility<\/a> for information on ovarian reserve, ovulation, and treatment options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AMH should not be interpreted as a direct measure of egg quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do AFC and AMH Measure Egg Quality?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. AFC and AMH primarily provide information about egg quantity, not egg quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Egg quality is a separate factor and is strongly influenced by age and other biological factors. Therefore, a high AMH or AFC does not guarantee high-quality eggs, while a low result does not automatically mean that pregnancy is impossible. Recent findings suggest that although AMH and AFC are useful for assessing ovarian reserve, they may have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.asrm.org\/news-and-events\/asrm-news\/latest-news\/Mar-2026-whats-new-from-fertility-and-sterility\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">limited value in predicting embryo euploidy<\/a> when considered independently of other factors, such as maternal age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This distinction is especially important when patients use AMH or AFC results to make decisions about fertility or egg freezing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can AFC or AMH Predict Your Chances of Getting Pregnant?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not by themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AFC and AMH are useful for assessing ovarian reserve and predicting ovarian response to fertility medication, particularly during IVF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They are not reliable standalone tests for predicting natural pregnancy.

A low AFC means that fewer antral follicles were visible during the ultrasound than might be expected for that individual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It does not mean that the ovaries contain no eggs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Similarly, a low AMH does not mean that pregnancy is impossible. Ovarian-reserve testing should be interpreted alongside age, medical history, ultrasound findings and other fertility factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do You Need an AFC Test Every Month?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Usually, no<\/strong>. AFC does not generally need to be measured during every menstrual cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your fertility specialist may recommend AFC when assessing ovarian reserve or planning treatment such as IVF or egg freezing. The timing and frequency depend on your individual treatment plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does an AFC Test Hurt?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AFC is performed using a transvaginal ultrasound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is generally a short examination, although some patients may experience temporary pressure or discomfort. Your fertility clinic can explain the procedure and any preparation required before the scan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Should Young Women Have AMH or AFC Testing?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not routinely if there are no fertility concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AMH or AFC may be useful when there is a specific clinical reason, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Planning IVF<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Considering egg freezing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Concerns about ovarian reserve<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A history of conditions or treatments that may affect ovarian function<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Previous fertility problems<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ovarian-reserve testing should not be treated as a general fertility screening test for every young woman. If you are considering egg freezing, use this guide on <a href=\"https:\/\/genesisfertility.co.th\/en\/how-to-choose-egg-freezing-clinic-bangkok\/\">how to choose an egg freezing clinic in Bangkok<\/a> to evaluate specialist experience, laboratory standards, and support for international patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">AFC vs AMH: Which Test Should You Choose?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The answer depends on why you are assessing your ovarian reserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want a convenient blood test, AMH can generally be measured at any point in the menstrual cycle and does not require an ultrasound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are already having a fertility ultrasound, AFC provides a direct count of visible antral follicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For IVF or egg-freezing planning, your fertility specialist may use AFC, AMH, or both, together with your age, medical history, ultrasound findings and treatment goals. Patients who are unsure which testing or treatment is appropriate can begin with <a href=\"https:\/\/genesisfertility.co.th\/en\/services\/fertility-counseling\/\">fertility counseling and treatment planning<\/a>. A consultation can help review age, ovarian reserve, treatment history, and personal fertility goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most important point is that neither AFC nor AMH can determine your fertility or guarantee pregnancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What If My AFC and AMH Results Do Not Match?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This can happen. AMH and AFC measure ovarian reserve in different ways, so their results do not always correspond exactly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the results appear inconsistent, your fertility specialist may consider factors such as ultrasound timing, laboratory testing methods, hormonal medication and your overall clinical history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One result should not be interpreted in isolation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Is AFC or AMH more accurate?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Neither is universally more accurate. Both are established markers of ovarian reserve and can help predict ovarian response to stimulation. The appropriate test depends on your clinical situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Can I have a low AMH but a normal AFC?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. The two tests measure ovarian reserve differently, so their results do not always match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Can I have a normal AMH but a low AFC?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. Differences can occur between the two tests. Your doctor should interpret the results alongside your medical history and ultrasound findings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Does a low AMH mean I cannot get pregnant?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. A low AMH does not by itself mean that pregnancy is impossible. AMH is an ovarian-reserve marker, not a standalone fertility test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Does a high AMH mean my eggs are better?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. AMH mainly provides information about ovarian reserve. It does not directly measure egg quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Is AFC needed before IVF?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AFC or AMH can help predict ovarian response to stimulation before IVF. Your fertility specialist will determine which assessments are appropriate for your treatment plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Should I have AFC and AMH before freezing my eggs?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They can provide useful information about ovarian reserve and expected response to stimulation. However, age and reproductive plans are also important when considering egg freezing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<style>\n  .gfc-cta-row {<br \/>\n    display: flex;<br \/>\n    flex-wrap: wrap;<br \/>\n    gap: 14px;<br \/>\n    justify-content: center;<br \/>\n    align-items: center;<br \/>\n    margin: 24px 0;<br \/>\n  }<br \/>\n  .gfc-cta-row a {<br \/>\n    display: inline-flex;<br \/>\n    align-items: center;<br \/>\n    justify-content: center;<br \/>\n    gap: 12px;<br \/>\n    color: #ffffff !important;<br \/>\n    font-family: inherit;<br \/>\n    font-size: 18px;<br \/>\n    font-weight: 700;<br \/>\n    line-height: 1;<br \/>\n    letter-spacing: 0.2px;<br \/>\n    text-decoration: none !important;<br \/>\n    padding: 17px 34px;<br \/>\n    border-radius: 9999px;<br \/>\n    transition: background-color .2s ease, transform .2s ease, box-shadow .2s ease;<br \/>\n  }<br \/>\n  .gfc-cta-row a:active { transform: translateY(0);
