The anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) test is a blood test that measures a hormone produced by small follicles in the ovaries.

The anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) test is a blood test that measures a hormone produced by small follicles in the ovaries. It is most often ordered to estimate ovarian reserve—the number of eggs a person may have—and to help evaluate conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
What it measures
- Anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) — The main hormone measured; reflects the activity of small ovarian follicles.
- Ovarian reserve — An estimate of remaining egg supply, based on AMH level.
- Follicle count — Sometimes used with ultrasound to assess small follicles in the ovaries.
Who it is for
Healthcare providers such as gynecologists, fertility specialists, or endocrinologists typically order this test. It may be requested for fertility evaluation, PCOS assessment, or before certain medical treatments.
Preparation
No fasting or special preparation is usually required. The test can be done at any time during the menstrual cycle, though some providers prefer specific days.
Results and what they mean
Results are reported as a number, often in ng/mL or pmol/L, and are interpreted by a clinician alongside your age, symptoms, and other tests. A low or high level does not by itself diagnose a condition or predict fertility with certainty. This is general information, not medical advice; discuss your results with a qualified healthcare provider.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to fast for an AMH test?
No, fasting is not required. You can eat and drink normally before the test unless your provider gives other instructions.
Can AMH tell me if I can get pregnant?
AMH gives an estimate of ovarian reserve, but it cannot predict natural fertility or pregnancy success on its own. Other factors also matter.
When should I take the test during my cycle?
AMH can be measured on any day of the menstrual cycle. Some providers may suggest a specific time, so follow their guidance.
What if my AMH level is high or low?
A high or low result may be linked to certain conditions, but it is not a diagnosis. Your clinician will interpret it with your history and other findings.
