Anti-Müllerian Hormone Test
Reviewed
An anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) test measures the amount of AMH in a blood sample. AMH levels can provide information about a variety of reproductive health conditions, including ovarian reserve, PCOS, menopause, ovarian cancer treatment, and, in babies and children, testicular function and atypical genitalia.

Understanding this test
Use the reference interval and units printed by the laboratory that performed the test. A result outside that interval is not a diagnosis by itself, and a result inside it does not rule out every condition. Your symptoms, history, medicines, timing, and related tests can change what the result means.
- An AMH test can tell you the size of your ovarian reserve but cannot tell you about the health of your eggs or predict whether you'll be able to get pregnant.
- An AMH test alone cannot diagnose PCOS.
- AMH test results cannot predict how long you have until menopause.
