AMH Blood Test

Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is a hormone produced in the ovaries of women and can be used to measure a woman’s ovarian reserve – how many eggs you have left.

As women are born with a fixed number of eggs, measuring ovarian reserve through an AMH blood test can indicate how many eggs remain, although it can’t give you an exact number.

Unfortunately, there are currently no proven ways to increase your AMH levels.

However, you can focus on the quality of your eggs by ensuring you are at a healthy weight and not smoking –  tobacco and obesity have been associated with lower egg quality – and ensuring that your menstrual cycle is well regulated.

AMH levels naturally decline as a woman ages. Lower levels are typical as women approach menopause.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) can sometimes cause higher AMH levels due to multiple small cysts on the ovaries. In some cases, it can also lead to lower AMH levels, possibly indicating diminished ovarian reserve.

Surgical removal of ovarian tissue or certain medical treatments like chemotherapy can impact AMH levels by reducing the number of viable eggs in the ovaries.

Smoking can be associated with lower AMH levels. There is also a potential link to high BMI having a factor in having a reduced AMH.

The optimal range of AMH changes as you age. Guideline ranges for each age group are:

• 20 to 25 – 8.7 – 83.6 pmol/L
• 25 to 30 – 6.4 – 70.3 pmol/L
• 30 to 35 – 4.1 – 58 pmol/L
• 35 to 40 – 1.1 – 53.5 pmol/L
• 40 to 45 – 0.2 – 39.1 pmol/L
• 45 to 55 – 0.1 – 19.3 pmol/L

AMH levels are, on average, lower in older women (particularly over the age of 40) and higher in women with Polycystic Ovaries (PCO) or Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS).

AMH levels between 7pmol/L-28.5pmol/L is considered a normal range. Levels below 7pmol/L are considered to be low and may be indicative of reduced ovarian reserves (remaining eggs).
