AMH

AMH stands for Anti-Müllerian hormone. It is produced by small follicles in the ovaries and is commonly used as a marker of ovarian reserve.

The AMH test does not count the exact number of eggs, nor does it measure egg quality. Instead, it gives your fertility team helpful information about how your ovaries may respond if you choose to have fertility treatment.

The AMH blood test is one of the most well-known blood tests for female fertility. However, it is only one part of your fertility picture. Results are most useful when reviewed alongside your medical history and, in many cases, other tests such as a transvaginal ultrasound.

An AMH blood test can help us understand how your ovaries may respond to fertility treatment. This can be useful if you are considering treatment now or planning for the future. AMH is helpful, but it should not be interpreted in isolation. Your result is most meaningful when reviewed with your age, medical history, symptoms, cycle pattern and any other relevant fertility tests.

Your AMH blood test fertility result may help us understand:

We test AMH because it can give useful information about ovarian reserve and fertility planning. As women age, the number of eggs naturally declines. An AMH test can help indicate whether your ovarian reserve is higher, lower, or within the expected range for your age.

A higher AMH may suggest that the ovaries could produce more eggs during treatment. A lower AMH may suggest that fewer eggs are likely to be collected if you proceed with fertility treatments. This can help our doctors plan your care more carefully, including medication doses if treatment is recommended.

A lower AMH result does not mean you cannot get pregnant. It also does not mean your eggs are of poor quality. It simply provides useful information about your ovarian reserve and can help guide you towards the most appropriate next steps.

We believe every woman should have access to clear information about her fertility. An AMH test can be a helpful first step if you want to understand your reproductive health and make informed choices about the future.
