Antimullerian Hormone

AMH Blood Test | London Blood Tests | 

Measure Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) for £88 to assess ovarian reserve and fertility potential. UKAS-accredited testing, GP review optional.

The Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) Blood Test measures AMH levels to assess ovarian reserve — an indicator of remaining egg supply. It is widely used in fertility planning, IVF assessment, and reproductive health monitoring. Testing is performed in a UKAS-accredited laboratory, with fast results and an optional GP consultation.

What is an Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) Blood Test?

Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) is produced by the small follicles in the ovaries that contain immature eggs. AMH levels reflect the quantity of remaining eggs, rather than egg quality, making it a valuable marker of reproductive potential.

Unlike many reproductive hormones, AMH levels:

• Remain relatively stable throughout the menstrual cycle

• Can be tested on any day

• Decline naturally with age

The AMH test is commonly used to:

• Assess fertility potential

• Predict response to IVF stimulation

• Monitor ovarian ageing

• Support diagnosis of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)

• Guide family-planning decisions

At London Blood Tests, AMH is measured using validated immunoassay methods aligned with UK fertility standards.

Benefits of the AMH Test

1. Key Indicator of Ovarian Reserve
   Provides insight into remaining egg quantity.

2. Cycle-Independent Testing
   Can be performed on any day of the menstrual cycle.

3. Supports Fertility Planning
   Helps guide decisions about conception timing or egg freezing.

4. Predicts IVF Response
   Assists clinicians in tailoring stimulation protocols.

5. Useful in PCOS Assessment
   AMH is often elevated in polycystic ovary syndrome.

6. Tracks Ovarian Ageing Over Time
   Helps monitor fertility decline with age.

7. Optional GP Consultation for Interpretation
   Results can be reviewed with a GP or fertility specialist.

Why Do I Need an AMH Blood Test?

You may benefit from an AMH test if you:

• Are planning pregnancy now or in the future

• Are considering egg freezing

• Have irregular periods or suspected PCOS

• Have a family history of early menopause

• Are undergoing fertility treatment

• Want proactive reproductive health insight

Situations where AMH testing is commonly used:

• Fertility assessment before age 35

• IVF planning and monitoring

• Reproductive hormone evaluation

• Menopause risk assessment

Because fertility decline can occur without symptoms, AMH testing supports informed planning.

Your AMH Test Results – Explained

AMH results are reported in pmol/L (sometimes ng/mL).

Indicative reference guidance (age-dependent):

• Low AMH: reduced ovarian reserve

• Normal AMH: age-appropriate ovarian reserve

• High AMH: often seen in PCOS

Approximate interpretation (pmol/L):

• <5 pmol/L: low ovarian reserve

• 5–15 pmol/L: reduced to normal

• 15–40 pmol/L: normal to good reserve

• >40 pmol/L: high (possible PCOS)

Results should be interpreted alongside age, symptoms, ultrasound findings, and other hormones.
