AMH Test

pexels-n-voitkevich-6214136

Understanding ovarian reserve is a vital part of reproductive health, whether you’re planning for pregnancy now or considering your options for the future. As women age, the number and quality of remaining eggs naturally decline, often without any noticeable signs. Reduced fertility, irregular menstrual cycles, and challenges with conception can develop gradually, sometimes only becoming apparent when attempting to become pregnant. Early insight into ovarian function can empower women to make informed decisions about family planning, fertility treatments, and long-term reproductive well-being.

Ovarian reserve is closely linked to hormonal systems that regulate menstrual cycles, ovulation, and overall reproductive balance. Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH), produced by the ovarian follicles, is one of the most reliable indicators of egg quantity. Changes in AMH levels can highlight shifts in fertility potential, signal early ovarian aging, or reveal underlying conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), underscoring the importance of accurate and timely testing.

Why an AMH test matters

Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) is produced by the small follicles in your ovaries, and its level gives a useful indication of your ovarian reserve — the pool of eggs you have remaining. Understanding this can help you make informed decisions about family planning, fertility treatment, or simply knowing where you stand.

Because AMH is stable across the menstrual cycle, it can be measured on any day — making this a convenient, single blood test, reviewed and explained by a GP.

What's included in your AMH test

A single, focused blood test measuring one key hormone.

What your AMH result can indicate

Ovarian reserveAn indication of the pool of eggs you have remaining.
Fertility planningHelpful insight if you're thinking about pregnancy now or in the future.
Fertility treatmentCan help predict how the ovaries may respond to stimulation in IVF.
Hormonal pictureLevels can be higher in conditions such as PCOS.

AMH reflects the quantity of eggs rather than their quality, and isn't a guarantee of natural fertility — but alongside a GP's guidance it's a valuable part of the picture.

What to know before your appointment

Hormonal contraception

It is important to note that hormonal contraception may affect your results. If you stop taking the pill, we suggest waiting until your periods have resumed their normal cycle before taking this test. Make sure that you take an alternative form of contraception if you are not planning to become pregnant.

When to test

AMH levels tend to fluctuate minimally throughout the menstrual cycle, so taking the test at any point during your cycle will give you a valid result. However, if you have regular periods and are tracking your results, we recommend taking the test on days 2–5 of your cycle for consistency, or following guidance from your fertility specialist.

Biotin (Vitamin B7)

Biotin (Vitamin B7) is a common component of many multivitamins and is also available as a standalone supplement. Biotin is known to interfere with laboratory testing and can affect various blood results. Unless prescribed by your doctor, we recommend stopping supplementation at least 48 hours prior to testing. If the supplement has been prescribed, please speak with your doctor before stopping.

AMH test FAQs

What is AMH?
Anti-Müllerian Hormone is made by the small follicles in the ovaries. Its level gives a useful indication of your ovarian reserve — the number of eggs you have remaining.
Does AMH tell me whether I can get pregnant?
Not on its own. AMH reflects egg quantity rather than quality and isn't a guarantee of natural fertility, but it's a valuable part of the picture when interpreted by a GP.
Do I need to fast or test on a certain day?
No. AMH is stable across the menstrual cycle and needs no fasting, so it can be done on any day.
Can the contraceptive pill affect my result?
Hormonal contraception can lower AMH levels somewhat. Let us know what you're taking so your GP can take it into account.
How long do results take?
Results are typically ready within 48 hours of your sample reaching the laboratory, after which a GP reviews and explains them.
Will a doctor explain my results?
Yes. Your result is interpreted by an experienced GP with personalised guidance and any recommended next steps.
How is the sample taken?
A simple blood sample is taken at one of our clinical sites in a short, comfortable appointment of around 15 minutes.
