Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH)

Overview:

Anti-Mullerian hormone is produced by small developing follicles in the ovaries, so the amount in the blood broadly tracks how many eggs remain. That makes it one of the standard measures of ovarian reserve, used when planning fertility treatment, estimating how someone might respond to ovarian stimulation, and investigating conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome, where levels are often higher than usual. Unlike several other reproductive hormones, AMH stays relatively steady across the menstrual cycle, so the sample does not need particular timing. It indicates quantity rather than egg quality, and it does not by itself predict whether someone will conceive.
