Frequently Asked Questions
What is Anti-Müllerian hormone?
Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is produced in the ovaries, specifically by the small follicles that support egg development. AMH levels reflect the number of active follicles, which naturally decrease with age. This decrease makes AMH a reliable indicator of the number of eggs remaining in the ovaries.
What could affect my AMH/egg count results?
Certain hormonal contraceptives, such as the pill or implant, can lower AMH levels temporarily. In contrast, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) may cause AMH levels to rise due to an increased number of small follicles. Other factors that can influence AMH levels include biotin supplements, ovarian surgery, and medical treatments like chemotherapy or radiotherapy.
While AMH naturally declines with age and is a useful marker of ovarian reserve, it does not predict fertility or the chance of natural conception on its own.
Can I get pregnant naturally if i have low AMH level?
Yes, it is still possible to conceive naturally with a low AMH level, although it may be more challenging due to a reduced number of remaining eggs. Some individuals with low AMH may become pregnant without difficulty, while others may require fertility support, such as in vitro fertilisation (IVF).
When is it best to test AMH?
The AMH test can be performed at any point in the menstrual cycle, as AMH levels remain relatively stable throughout. Unlike other hormone tests such as follicle stimulating hormone, which is usually measured on day 3 of the cycle, AMH can be tested at any time and produce accurate results.
What are the most important hormones to test for fertility?
Several hormones are key to fertility, as they help regulate the menstrual cycle and support ovulation. These include follicle stimulating hormone, luteinising hormone and oestradiol to gain further insight into reproductive health, it can also be helpful to test levels of testosterone, progesterone, prolactin, DHEA-S, and AMH. Thyroid hormones also play an important role, as imbalances can affect cycle regularity and ovulation.
