Description

The AMH test measures the level of Anti-Mullerian Hormone in a woman’s blood, which reflects her ovarian reserve—the number of eggs remaining in her ovaries. Women are born with a finite number of eggs, and this number naturally decreases with age.

  • Higher AMH levels usually indicate a larger number of eggs.
  • Lower AMH levels suggest fewer eggs remaining.

Why the AMH Test Is Important

The AMH test provides valuable information for reproductive planning and fertility assessment, including:

  • Estimating fertility potential for women planning to conceive.
  • Helping predict response to fertility treatments, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF).
  • Assisting in the diagnosis of reproductive conditions, including:
  • Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): Often associated with higher-than-normal AMH levels.
  • Primary Ovarian Insufficiency: Often associated with lower-than-expected AMH levels for age.

By understanding AMH levels, doctors can offer more personalized guidance and treatment options regarding reproductive health and family planning.
