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.

How can I increase my AMH levels?

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.

What is a normal AMH level?

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).

What is a good AMH level to get pregnant?

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).

"An anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) test assesses a woman's ovarian reserve or egg supply. It measures the level of AMH in the blood, which reflects the number of eggs remaining in the ovaries. A higher AMH level suggests better fertility potential, while a lower level may indicate reduced fertility or the approach of peri-menopause."

We’re changing people’s lives

I really like Forth and you probably saved my life because your lab discovered my critically low cortisol which was subsequently diagnosed as adrenal insufficiency by a hospital endocrinologist.

Maria

I find Forth professional and forward-thinking with a bigger range of tests than more traditional healthcare providers in the UK. I think it is closer to what you can get from US providers.

Richard C

I wanted to get more information about my own health instead of using the NHS who just test for a specific reason. I also wanted better historical data to view changes over time as the NHS systems aren’t very good for that.

James W

Finding out what is going on inside your body is key, especially now that the NHS is in crisis. If we can take control of our wellness (and flag up potential problems early) that has got to be a good thing.

Vannesa C

I am very satisfied with your excellent service and I have recommended you to all my friends who are also very interested in your products.
