Ordering the Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH), Female Test
The Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH), Female test measures the amount of AMH in your blood, which helps show how many eggs are left in the ovaries. This test is often used by people planning for pregnancy, those starting fertility treatments, or anyone wanting to know more about their reproductive timeline. Interestingly, AMH levels do not change much during the menstrual cycle, making this test useful at any time of the month.
Ordering this test can help you:
- Check ovarian reserve to help with family planning decisions
- Monitor response to fertility treatments
- Assess risk for early menopause
- Support diagnosis of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
- Track changes in ovarian function over time
Who Might Benefit from Ovarian Reserve Testing
Someone who has been trying to get pregnant for several months without success may want to know more about their egg supply. This information can help guide next steps, such as fertility treatments or other options.
Ordering this test may also be helpful in these situations:
- Planning to delay pregnancy and wanting to know how long fertility may last
- Starting in vitro fertilization (IVF) or other assisted reproductive treatments
- Experiencing irregular periods and wondering about ovarian function
- Having a family history of early menopause
- Evaluating ovarian function after cancer treatment, which can sometimes affect fertility
Knowing your AMH level can help you and your doctor make decisions about fertility treatments, timing, and options. Waiting to order this test could mean missing the best window for certain treatments or planning, especially if ovarian reserve is already low.
Preparing for Your Ovarian Function Blood Test
No fasting is needed before this blood test, and you can eat and drink as usual. Always follow any instructions or advice your doctor or healthcare provider gives you to make sure your results are as helpful as possible.
