What Is AMH
AMH stands for Anti-Müllerian Hormone. It is a blood test that estimates ovarian reserve, meaning the approximate quantity of eggs remaining in the ovaries. It is one of the primary inputs into IVF stimulation planning.
Clinical Variables
- 1. AMH reflects quantity of eggs, not quality.
- 2. Results are stable throughout the menstrual cycle and can be tested any time.
- 3. Low AMH predicts fewer eggs at retrieval, but not zero success.
- 4. Normal ranges vary by lab and age. Context matters more than the absolute number.
- 5. AMH is typically assessed alongside antral follicle count (AFC) via ultrasound.
Reference Ranges (Approximate)
| AMH Level | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| Above 2.0 ng/mL | Normal to high reserve |
| 1.0 – 2.0 ng/mL | Low-normal reserve |
| 0.5 – 1.0 ng/mL | Low reserve |
| Below 0.5 ng/mL | Very low reserve (DOR) |
Ranges vary by laboratory. Discuss results with your reproductive endocrinologist in context of your full clinical picture.
What This Does Not Mean
A low AMH does not mean IVF is impossible. It means fewer eggs are likely retrieved per cycle. Some patients with low AMH produce high-quality eggs. It is one data point, not a prognosis.
