AMH is one of the most commonly used fertility tests and provides valuable information about ovarian reserve, which can be important for your chances of becoming pregnant.
An AMH test is simple to take—and can be a first step toward better understanding your fertility situation.
You can have your AMH level measured at your nearest Ovumia clinic. Our specialists help you interpret the result and guide you further if additional examinations are needed.
AMH (Anti-Müllerian hormone) is produced in the small follicles in the ovaries. The smallest of these cannot be seen on ultrasound, but the AMH level in the blood provides a reliable picture of how many active follicles are present at the moment.
For this reason, AMH is used as an indirect measure of ovarian reserve.
Only a blood test is needed—it is quick, painless, and provides reliable information.
There are several common reasons to take an AMH test:
AMH levels naturally decline with age and are usually undetectable after menopause.
It is important to interpret AMH correctly.

Egg quality depends primarily on age, not on AMH levels.
A low AMH value therefore does not automatically mean reduced fertility, but it can influence how treatment is planned—for example, which hormone dosage may be needed before IVF.
AMH is measured with a simple blood test. Unlike many other hormones, AMH is only minimally affected by where you are in your menstrual cycle, so the test can be taken almost at any time.
Hormonal contraceptives such as birth control pills, patches, or vaginal rings can temporarily lower AMH levels.
For a reliable result, a break of about three months is often recommended.
This is always discussed with our staff before testing.
An AMH test can provide valuable information—but it is only one part of the overall picture.
At Ovumia, we help you understand what your result means and which next steps may be relevant for you.
