AMH Levels: What is Normal and How to Test Anti-Müllerian Hormone
When first exploring fertility or family planning, many people find the acronym AMH, which stands for Anti-Müllerian hormone, quite confusing. If you have recently received your AMH lab results or are just starting to research your reproductive health, you might be wondering exactly what this hormone is and what the results mean for your future.
Researching AMH for the first time can often be an anxiety-inducing experience, as it is frequently and incorrectly billed as a definitive “fertility test.” It is very common for people to assume that a low AMH result means they cannot get pregnant naturally, or that a high AMH level guarantees an easy path to conception.
AMH is a useful marker for estimating the number of remaining eggs in the ovaries (ovarian reserve). It cannot predict overall fertility or assess egg quality and genetic health.
