Antimullerian Hormone (AMH)

Anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) is a hormone produced by cells in the ovary. It is primarily used as a marker of ovarian reserve, or the number of eggs remaining in a woman's ovaries. The AMH test is often used in fertility assessments, as it provides information about a woman's potential to conceive. The AMH test is typically performed on day 3 of the menstrual cycle, as the hormone levels are relatively stable at this time. The test involves a simple blood draw, and results are typically available within a few days. Interpretation of AMH levels depends on the age of the woman, as ovarian reserve naturally declines as women age. A high AMH level may indicate a higher number of remaining eggs and greater potential for fertility, while a low AMH level may indicate reduced ovarian reserve and lower potential for fertility. It is important to note that while AMH levels can provide insight into a woman's ovarian reserve, they do not provide information about the quality of the remaining eggs. Additionally, the test results should be interpreted in conjunction with other clinical information and may not be the sole determinant of fertility potential. Overall, the AMH test is a useful tool for assessing ovarian reserve and fertility potential, but it should be used in conjunction with other diagnostic tests and clinical information to provide a comprehensive picture of a woman's reproductive health.
