AMH, short for Anti Müllerian Hormone, is a hormone produced in the woman's ovaries in the follicles that are there. By measuring the level of this hormone in the blood, you can get an idea of how big a woman's egg reserve is and with that get a picture of how far she has left until menopause and how big her chances of getting pregnant are. Another method to find out is by using ultrasound to examine how many follicles remain in the woman's ovaries.
AMH is not an analysis that is done routinely, but can sometimes be used as a complement to other hormone analyzes in connection with the investigation of involuntary childlessness. In women who are to undergo IVF treatment, measuring AMH can be of value as it can help assess the likelihood of a successful treatment result. The analysis can also be used to get an idea of the woman's remaining fertile time; i.e. the time to climacteric (menopause). The sample is always taken on day 3 of the menstrual cycle.
A low AMH test shows a low egg reserve, but it is far from impossible to get pregnant! Women can have children despite a low AMH value as long as they ovulate.
