Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) Test

Assessing Ovarian Reserve for Informed Fertility Planning

The Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) test is a simple blood test that measures the level of AMH, a hormone produced by the ovarian follicles. AMH levels reflect a woman’s ovarian reserve, providing the estimated number of eggs remaining in the ovaries.

Why is AMH testing important?

  • Fertility assessment – Helps evaluate reproductive potential and guides fertility planning

  • Age-related insight – AMH levels naturally decline with age, providing an indication of ovarian aging

  • Assisted reproduction – Useful for individuals considering IVF or other assisted reproductive technologies (ART)

  • Personalized treatment – Supports tailored approaches in fertility care and treatment decisions

Advantages of the test

  • Provides a reliable estimate of a woman’s remaining egg supply, aiding in the assessment of reproductive lifespan.
  • Helps fertility specialists tailor ovarian stimulation protocols for IVF or other assisted reproductive technologies (ART).

FAQ

Does AMH testing confirm fertility potential?

Not exactly. AMH provides an estimate of ovarian reserve (egg quantity), but it does not assess egg quality or guarantee the ability to conceive. Results should be interpreted alongside other fertility markers and in consultation with a healthcare provider.

Yes. Individuals with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) often have elevated AMH levels, which can support diagnosis and inform treatment planning.

  • Pregnant women at early stage (It is recommended for couples to undergo the test at the same time)
  • Couples with family history of genetic disorders
  • Couples from consanguineous marriage
  • Couples who are planning to receive assisted reproductive procedures
  • Couples without symptom and family history of genetic disorders, but want to learn about their genetic status
