AMH testing

A blood test estimating how many eggs remain in the ovaries.

Testing

AMH is produced by small growing follicles, so it reflects the size of the remaining egg pool. It predicts how the ovaries are likely to respond to stimulation and helps plan IVF doses. It does not measure egg quality, does not predict natural conception well, and should never be used alone to judge whether pregnancy is possible.

Also known as: anti-mullerian hormone test, AMH blood test, egg count test
