AMH Test
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 your AMH result can indicate
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.
