AMH (Anti-Mullerian Hormone) – AMH is made by developing follicles in the ovaries and reflects ovarian reserve – roughly, the pool of remaining eggs.
What AMH measures
AMH measures ovarian reserve, helping estimate reproductive potential. It does not predict the exact timing of conception.
Typical ranges
Levels decline with age; labs provide age-specific ranges. Higher AMH suggests a larger egg pool; low AMH suggests a smaller reserve. Reference ranges differ between laboratories and by age and sex, so always read your result against the range printed on your own report.
What high results can mean
A larger egg pool; very high levels can be associated with PCOS.
What low results can mean
A smaller ovarian reserve, common with age – it informs planning but doesn’t rule out pregnancy.
How the test is done
A blood sample; AMH is stable across the cycle, so timing is flexible. At-home collection works well for this marker when the sample is processed by a certified lab.
FAQ
What is a normal AMH level?
Levels decline with age; labs provide age-specific ranges. Higher AMH suggests a larger egg pool; low AMH suggests a smaller reserve. Your ideal target depends on your age, sex, and health history, so review results with a clinician.
What does a high AMH result mean?
A larger egg pool; very high levels can be associated with PCOS.
Can I test AMH at home?
Yes. A blood sample; AMH is stable across the cycle, so timing is flexible. An at-home sample processed by a certified lab gives reliable results.
