Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is made by cells around developing eggs in the ovaries. In fertility care, an AMH blood test helps estimate ovarian reserve, meaning the remaining egg supply. It does not measure egg quality or tell you whether you can become pregnant.
AMH can help estimate how many eggs may develop in response to fertility medicines that stimulate the ovaries. A lower result may suggest fewer eggs will respond. A higher result may suggest more. The result is considered with age and other findings.
AMH is not a direct count of every remaining egg. A low value does not mean pregnancy is impossible, and a high value does not guarantee it. It also cannot predict exactly when menopause will begin.
No. It has other uses, including some childhood hormone investigations and monitoring certain ovarian conditions. The reason for testing changes how the result should be interpreted.
