Anti-Mullerian Hormone Testing

What is AMH?

Anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) is a protein produced by ovarian follicles during the development of egg sac (follicle) development and plays a huge role in regulating the human reproductive system. AMH levels remain stable, unlike other hormones that fluctuate throughout the menstrual cycle, making them an effective marker for assessing ovarian reserve.

Ovarian reserve refers to both the quantity and quality of a woman’s eggs; it provides an indication of reproductive production and the likelihood of a successful pregnancy. AMH testing thereby gives vital information concerning ovarian reserve to help evaluate fertility status.

What Our AMH Testing Involves

If you’re considering AMH testing, it’s important to understand the process before deciding. The typical steps involve the following.

• Consultation with a GP: The initial step is a consultation with one of our GPs. This is your opportunity to ask questions, express concerns, and discuss your medical history.
• Blood sample collection: AMH testing entails a simple blood sample. A doctor will remove a small amount of blood, normally from a vein in the arm. The process is fast and relatively painless.
• Laboratory analysis: Once collected, your blood sample will be sent to the laboratory for examination. Our experienced lab technicians will use advanced methods to check the AMH levels in the sample.
• Result discussion: After the analysis, you’ll have a follow-up appointment with a healthcare professional to discuss the results. They will explain the significance of your AMH levels and their impact on fertility.
