About the test

Anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) is a hormone that is produced by the ovaries. We check AMH as a marker of "ovarian reserve", sometimes called the "egg count". Women are born with a high number of eggs contained within their ovaries and the number of these eggs decreases as a woman ages. AMH is a marker of the number of eggs that are left.

A lower than expected AMH for a woman`s age may be a sign that the egg count is declining more quickly than expected and may mean it is more difficult to become pregnant.

A higher than expected AMH can occur in Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and, rarely, in certain types of ovarian tumours.

DOCTOR'S COMMENTS

Hi, I am Dr. Adam Staten and here's my view on this test as a GP and Clinical Director at One Day Tests.

Whilst the usual assessments of AMH involve the fertility and menopausal cases, the AMH is also useful in diagnosis of ovarian conditions, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) - the AMH blood test can aid in diagnosis and monitoring the progress of the disease.

AMH is also produced in small quantities in males. In men, AMH levels are used to assess testicular function and can be useful in diagnosing conditions like undescended testes or disorders affecting sperm production.

Red flag symptoms for the AMH Blood Test

Ovarian reserve naturally declines with age as the woman nears the menopause. This is a process that can be significantly different for some women, meaning that the number and quality of eggs diminishes quicker than normal.

This can be attributed to a number of factors, including:

  • Lifestyle choices, such as smoking, certain drugs or excessive alcohol consumption.
  • A history of early menopause in the family
  • Fertility and reproduction related surgeries, for example removal of ovarian tissue or ovaries.
  • Infections
  • Abnormal Thyroid functions and other autoimmune conditions

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

Hi, I am Stefania Brown, I am the Laboratory Manager at One Day Tests and here are the lab's special requests for the AMH Blood Test.

  1. SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR TAKING THE AMH BLOOD TEST.

    Taking hormonal contraception can interfere with the accuracy of this test. It is advisable to discontinue hormonal contraception and opt for barrier contraception instead. If you decide to stop taking contraceptive pills, wait until your menstrual periods have returned to their normal cycle before undergoing this test.


    The levels of Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) experience minimal fluctuations throughout the menstrual cycle, making the test valid at any point. However, if you have regular menstrual cycles and are monitoring your results over time, it is recommended to take the test between days two and five of your cycle for consistency. Alternatively, you may seek guidance from your fertility specialist regarding the most appropriate timing.


    To ensure accurate results, avoid taking biotin supplements for at least two days before the test. If you are prescribed biotin by your doctor, it is essential to discuss this with them prior to undergoing the AMH blood test.


Venepuncture appointment - how to prepare

If you are coming into one of our clinics for the test, this is what you need to do before you arrive:

  • Drink plenty of water about an hour before the appointment.
  • Avoid coffee/tea/energy drinks. Water is good!
  • That’s it! We’ll do the rest.

Home test kit for AMH Blood Test - how it works

Our blood test kits are simple and convenient.

The most important step in doing a blood test at home is to read the instructions very carefully. The process is very simple, but there are a few pitfalls you need to be aware of - you will save yourself a lot of time if you do it right the first time around!

  • Full printed instructions will arrive with your kit - please read them carefully.
  • Drink plenty before taking the sample and warm your hands up in the sink with warm water for a few minutes. This will make your blood flow much better.
  • Fill the tubes to the top line. We don’t need much blood; filling tubes to the top line is about 15 drops of blood.
  • Post the samples on the same day you take them, before midday, Monday to Thursday. If you post it any other time it might get to us late or be stuck at a sorting office over the weekend. You will then have to do it again.
  • Package the sample in the same box the kit came in. Otherwise, Royal Mail or DPD will reject it. The sample tubes go into a pouch, then into a cardboard box, and then into a return envelope. All of this is provided in the kit: please use it.

We look forward to receiving your sample in our lab!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Hi, I am Lana Nela, Lead Nurse, and here is what we are frequently asked about this test.

Why use Anti Mullerian Hormone to diagnose fertility/hormonal issues?

A low AMH result could indicate a reduced ovarian reserve, which may suggest a higher likelihood of reaching menopause earlier than average. This information can prompt you to consider adjusting your family planning timeline.

If you are embarking on fertility treatment or considering egg storage/freezing, an AMH test can provide valuable insights into your ovarian reserve, offering an estimate of the number of eggs remaining in your ovaries.

What are the normal ranges for AMH for my age?

Your AMH level naturally decreases as you get older and also depends on a whole range of other factors mentioned above, such as lifestyle, medication and any health treatments, such as surgeries. So the normal ranges can generally be based on averages for the age, with greater readings of AMH pointing towards greater ovarian reserve (number of eggs). However high results can also be problematic and point to issues such as PCOS.

Typical values are as follows:

  • Age: 20 - 29 y.o. = 13.1 - 53.8 pmol/L
  • Age: 30 - 34 y.o. = 6.8 - 47.8 pmol/L
  • Age: 35 - 39 y.o. = 5.5 - 37.4 pmol/L
  • Age: 40 - 44 y.o. = 0.7 - 21.2 pmol/L
  • Age: 45 - 50 y.o. = 0.3 - 14.7 pmol/L

WHY TAKE THE TEST?

Hi, I am Nader Eldarf, I am a Biomedical Scientist in our laboratory and here is why it's important to take this test.

  1. WHY TAKE THE AMH BLOOD TEST?

    In addition to the fertility assessment, this test plays a major role in the Menopause Status Assessment: AMH levels are inversely related to age; they tend to decrease as a woman approaches menopause.

    The AMH blood test can be used as a marker to assess a woman`s menopausal status or predict the onset of menopause. However, it is worth noting that AMH levels should not be used as a definitive predictor of menopause on their own, as other factors are also involved.

IS THIS TEST RIGHT FOR YOU?

Hi, I am Sandeep Patel, I am the Laboratory Director at One Day Tests. Here are the symptoms that you may wish to address with this test.

  1. IS THE AMH BLOOD TEST RIGHT FOR YOU?

    You should consider this test to help you with the following:

      Fertility Assessment: The AMH test is widely used in fertility clinics and reproductive medicine to evaluate ovarian reserve. By measuring the levels of AMH in the blood, the number of eggs a woman has left in her ovaries can be estimated, and hence her potential to conceive. A lower AMH level may indicate a decreased ovarian reserve, which could affect the chances of natural conception.

      Predicting Response to Ovarian Stimulation: In cases where a woman is undergoing fertility treatments, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) or ovulation induction, the AMH blood test can help predict how a woman`s ovaries will respond to ovarian stimulation medications. This information can guide the fertility specialist in tailoring the treatment protocol for optimal results.
