Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH)

A blood test that estimates how many eggs remain in the ovaries.

Fertility testing

Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is produced by small ovarian follicles, and its blood level is used to estimate the size of the remaining egg supply (ovarian reserve). It can be tested on any day of the menstrual cycle. AMH levels naturally decline with age and are used, together with antral follicle count, to plan ovarian stimulation doses in IVF. AMH does not measure egg quality, and a normal AMH does not guarantee natural conception or IVF success, just as a low AMH does not mean pregnancy is impossible. It is one part of a fertility assessment, not a stand-alone predictor of fertility.

Also known as: AMH test, anti mullerian hormone, low AMH, egg reserve test
