AMH (anti-Müllerian hormone) test

: An anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) test measures the amount of AMH in the blood. In people with a womb, AMH levels can be tested as one marker of fertility. AMH is released by the cells surrounding developing eggs, which are found in the ovaries.
As AMH is produced when eggs are developing, it can be used as a marker of:
how well your ovaries are working
your ovarian reserve (how many eggs are left in the ovaries – you are born with all the eggs you’ll ever have)
As the number of eggs decreases with age, so do AMH levels. At menopause, there are no eggs left in the ovaries, and your AMH levels drop to zero.
What does an AMH test tell you?
AMH testing can be useful for:
checking how many eggs are left in your ovaries
seeing if you’re approaching or have reached menopause
diagnosing health problems that are caused by high levels of AMH (like polycystic ovary syndrome, also called PCOS)
AMH levels may also be measured if you are going through in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) treatment for infertility. AMH is useful for predicting how well someone will respond to the medication used to stimulate the ovaries before eggs can be removed and used as part of IVF treatment.
An AMH test alone cannot tell you whether you are fertile or not, but it can provide more information about your ovarian reserve.
: The AMH test works by taking a small blood sample, which can be measured in a lab for AMH levels.
You can take the blood test through a finger-prick sample, which involves using a small device called a lancet. Your sample can be collected at any time of day and any point in your menstrual cycle.
To use the kit:
Empty the tray contained in the kit, push through the holes, then place your collection tube in the hole.
Wash your hands with warm, soapy water, then clean the desired finger with the alcohol wipe included in the kit. Make sure it’s completely dry before the next step.
Remove a lancet and twist off the blue stick. Using the lancet, prick your finger on the side of the fingertip and wipe away the first drop of blood with clean tissue.
Collect a blood sample in the collection tube. Make sure to fill the blood sample tube up to the line. You can use a fresh lancet and take blood from another finger if you need to.
Close the tube lid and clean your finger/s with the alcohol wipe and a dry tissue. Apply the plaster if needed.
Make sure all the information required is added to the sample tube and inside the envelope.
You then send your AMH test sample to our lab using the enclosed pre-paid envelope, where it can be measured.
The results of your AMH test will be provided to you through your online portal a few days after the lab receives your sample.
You can speak with our doctors about your results at any time, for free, and our team will offer you aftercare advice depending on your results.
: AMH testing is useful for indicating your ovarian reserve, or how many eggs are left in your ovaries.
An AMH blood test can be helpful for women who:
are planning for a pregnancy later on, so they have an idea of their current ovarian reserve
have irregular menstrual cycles, which can suggest low ovarian reserve
have symptoms of PCOS like irregular periods, weight gain, or body hair growth
are considering IVF or egg freezing
Although an AMH test can give some information about your fertility, it cannot tell you how healthy your follicles are, or how many you have left exactly. It’s always best to interpret your results with input from a healthcare professional, as AMH alone is not a reliable measurement of how fertile you are.
: Normal ‘healthy’ AMH levels vary depending on age and the laboratory where the tests are run, and there is no standard range for what AMH levels should be.
The higher your levels of AMH, the more ovarian follicles you have, and the higher your chance of releasing an egg that can be fertilised. AMH tends to be highest when you’re 22 to 26 years old, then gradually decreases as you move towards menopause.
Whether you test your AMH levels with us or another provider, the results will need to be interpreted by a doctor.
What could low AMH levels mean?
If your AMH levels are low for your age, it could mean that you have a low egg supply and potentially low fertility. It may also suggest you’re approaching menopause, but remember that your AMH levels will also be lower if you’re older.
Low AMH levels do not mean you cannot get pregnant, but you may need some help from your doctor.
There are many causes of low fertility, including:
low quality semen
endometriosis, which is where the lining of the womb is not inside the womb, making it harder for fertilisation to occur
damaged or blocked fallopian tubes
lack of ovulation, meaning you are not releasing an egg each month
age – increasing age naturally lowers the chance of pregnancy
In some cases, the cause of low fertility is not known.
What could high AMH levels mean?
If your AMH levels are high for your age, it could be a sign of PCOS, especially if you have other symptoms. PCOS is a common hormonal problem where high levels of testosterone and other hormone disruptions lead to weight gain, irregular periods, and even infertility.
: Once you have your results, you can contact one of our doctors for more information on what to do next if you are unsure.
If you have healthy levels of AMH
If you have healthy levels of AMH but are struggling to get pregnant, you and your partner may need to visit your GP and have fertility testing. You may need to be referred to a fertility clinic that can help you increase your chances of getting pregnant through medical treatments.
If you have high levels of AMH
If your AMH levels are higher than they should be for your age, you should visit your GP as you need to get checked for PCOS.
If you have low levels of AMH
If your levels are lower than what is expected for your age, you should visit your GP or a fertility clinic. They can discuss options with you and carry out other tests to find out the cause of your result.

Frequently asked questions

How accurate is an at-home AMH test compared to a clinic test?

If you’ve taken your sample correctly, a home AMH test kit can be just as accurate as one taken in a clinic. No matter how the sample is taken, the lab it’s tested in should be able to run the test and provide accurate results.

Can I take an AMH test while on birth control?

It may not be recommended, as birth control could interfere with the results, with studies suggesting that AMH levels tend to be lower in women taking hormonal contraception.

One study found that people taking the combined pill had 23% lower AMH levels and people on the progesterone-only pill had 14.8% lower AMH levels than people not using any contraception.

However, people with the copper coil (non-hormonal contraception) had similar AMH levels to women not using any form of contraception. It’s best to ask a doctor first before taking an AMH test if you’re using any form of hormonal contraception.

Is a low AMH level the same as infertility?

No, low AMH levels and infertility are not the same. AMH is a marker of how many eggs are in your ovaries, not whether they are of good quality. It also does not consider other factors that contribute to fertility.
