What it measures
- AMH (Anti-Müllerian hormone)
Who it’s for
- Planning when to start a family
- Considering egg freezing or IVF
- Irregular periods or suspected PCOS
- Curiosity about your fertility
What AMH can and can’t tell you
AMH is made by the small follicles in your ovaries, so it reflects how many eggs remain. It’s a useful guide when planning when to try for a baby, and fertility clinics use it to plan IVF and egg freezing. What it can’t do is predict whether you’ll get pregnant naturally: egg quality, which depends mostly on age, matters too. A low AMH doesn’t mean you can’t conceive, and a normal one isn’t a guarantee.
High AMH and PCOS
AMH is often higher than average in polycystic ovary syndrome, because there are more small follicles. A high AMH alongside irregular periods is a clue worth discussing with your GP.
How to prepare
- You can test on any day of your cycle.
- Hormonal contraception can lower AMH slightly; let us know if you use it.
- No fasting needed. Eat and drink as normal.

Questions
Does AMH fall with age?
Yes. AMH naturally declines through your 30s and 40s, so your result is best read alongside your age.
Can I test while on the pill?
Yes, but hormonal contraception can lower AMH slightly, so tell us when you book.
