Overview of the Antimullerian Hormone Test
The Antimullerian Hormone blood test measures Anti-Müllerian Hormone, commonly abbreviated to AMH, a hormone closely associated with the number of small developing follicles within the ovaries.
The test assesses 1 reproductive hormone marker: Antimullerian Hormone.
AMH is produced by granulosa cells within ovarian follicles.
Because the number of these follicles generally declines as ovarian reserve reduces with age, AMH is widely used as a laboratory marker of ovarian reserve.
Ovarian reserve describes the remaining quantity of eggs rather than their quality.
This distinction is important.
A higher AMH result does not guarantee pregnancy or confirm fertility.
Likewise, a lower AMH result does not mean that natural pregnancy is impossible.
Age remains a major factor affecting egg quality and reproductive potential.
AMH is particularly useful in fertility assessment and assisted reproduction because it can help estimate how the ovaries may respond to stimulation during IVF treatment.
It can contribute to decisions about medication dosing and expectations around the number of follicles that may develop.
AMH is also frequently higher in people with polycystic ovary syndrome because a greater number of small follicles may be present.
The test therefore requires clinical context.
Unlike FSH and Oestradiol, AMH is relatively stable across the menstrual cycle and can usually be measured on different cycle days.
However, hormonal contraception, recent pregnancy, ovarian surgery and some fertility treatments can influence interpretation.
The result is best considered alongside age, ultrasound antral follicle count and other reproductive investigations.
What Does the Antimullerian Hormone Test Check?
The test measures Antimullerian Hormone and provides information about ovarian follicle quantity and ovarian reserve. This test measures 1 biomarker.
Antimullerian Hormone
Measures AMH produced by developing ovarian follicles, supporting assessment of ovarian reserve and predicted ovarian response during fertility treatment.
Who May Benefit From the Antimullerian Hormone Test?
AMH testing can be useful during fertility planning, IVF assessment or investigation of ovarian reserve.
People planning pregnancy and wanting information about ovarian reserve - AMH can provide an estimate of remaining follicle quantity.
People preparing for IVF or fertility treatment - AMH can help estimate the expected ovarian response to stimulation.
People considering egg freezing - Ovarian reserve information can contribute to fertility-preservation discussions.
People with a history of ovarian surgery - Surgery involving ovarian tissue can influence ovarian reserve.
People who have received chemotherapy or other gonadotoxic treatment - AMH may be used during fertility assessment after treatment that could affect the ovaries.
People with suspected polycystic ovary syndrome - AMH can be higher where a large number of small ovarian follicles are present.
People with an unexpected fertility history - AMH can contribute to a broader reproductive assessment.
People advised to assess ovarian reserve by a fertility specialist - The result can be interpreted alongside age and ultrasound findings.
How to Prepare
AMH does not generally require cycle-day scheduling in the way some fertility hormones do.
If the result is being used for IVF planning, follow any specific instructions provided by the fertility clinic managing treatment.
Symptoms and Reasons to Consider the Antimullerian Hormone Test
AMH itself does not cause symptoms. Testing is usually prompted by fertility planning, reproductive history or the need to estimate ovarian reserve.
Difficulty conceiving - AMH can form one part of a broader fertility assessment.
Planning IVF - Ovarian reserve information can help predict likely response to ovarian stimulation.
Considering egg freezing - AMH can help estimate the current follicle pool before fertility preservation.
A history of ovarian surgery - Procedures involving ovarian tissue can affect reserve.
Previous chemotherapy or radiotherapy affecting reproductive organs - Gonadotoxic treatment can reduce ovarian reserve.
Irregular menstrual cycles with suspected PCOS - AMH may be raised in people with polycystic ovaries.
A family history of early menopause - Earlier ovarian reserve assessment may be appropriate in some circumstances.
Concern about reproductive ageing - AMH can provide information about egg quantity, although it does not measure egg quality.
AMH does not measure whether somebody can or cannot become pregnant naturally.
It estimates ovarian reserve and should not be presented as a direct fertility score.
Age, egg quality, ovulation, fallopian-tube health, sperm factors and many other variables contribute to fertility.

When Will I Receive My Results?
The current London Blood Tests turnaround for Antimullerian Hormone is approximately 1–2 days after laboratory receipt.
The sample undergoes hormone analysis, quality-control procedures and result authorisation before release.
Turnaround begins when the specimen reaches the laboratory rather than necessarily from the exact time the blood sample is collected.
Where AMH forms part of a wider fertility investigation, additional hormone or ultrasound assessment may take place separately.
Understanding Your Results
AMH is interpreted primarily as a marker of ovarian reserve.
A higher concentration generally suggests a greater number of remaining small ovarian follicles.
Very high values can occur in people with polycystic ovary syndrome or a high antral follicle count.
A lower AMH result generally suggests reduced ovarian reserve.
The result does not directly measure egg quality.
Age remains one of the strongest predictors of egg quality and reproductive potential.
A low result therefore does not mean pregnancy is impossible, while a high result does not guarantee successful conception.
In IVF, AMH can help predict ovarian response.
People with lower AMH may produce fewer follicles during stimulation, while very high AMH can be associated with a stronger response and a greater risk of ovarian hyperstimulation in some treatment settings.
The laboratory range, age, ultrasound findings and fertility history should all be considered together.
