AMH Test

Ovarian Reserve (AMH) Test

Egg reserve test

Women are born with their lifetime supply of eggs, and these gradually decrease in both quality and quantity with age.

Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) is a hormone secreted by cells in developing egg sacs (follicles). The level of AMH in a woman’s blood is generally a good indicator of her ovarian reserve.  AMH does not change during your menstrual cycle, so the blood sample can be taken at any time of the month – even while you are using oral contraception.

What will an AMH test tell me?

An AMH test gives us some insight into the remaining quantity of eggs and number of fertile years you may have, but it cannot tell us much about the quality of those eggs.
