Anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) levels are blood tests used to give us information about a patient's egg reserve.

Without knowing more about the ultrasound details and your fertility history, this is a very difficult question to answer. My suggestion would be to discuss these results with your physician.
