AMH Blood Test in London (Ovarian Reserve Test)
Fast, discreet results at Marylebone Diagnostic Centre
What Is an AMH Test?
AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone) is released by small ovarian follicles.
It reflects ovarian reserve – the number of remaining eggs.
Higher AMH usually means a larger egg pool. Lower AMH hints at a reduced reserve.
AMH does not measure egg quality. It estimates quantity.
Quality is strongly age-related. Your clinician will discuss both.
Why Test AMH?
- Planning pregnancy now or later.
- IVF/egg-freezing decisions. AMH informs stimulation plans.
- Irregular periods or PCOS suspicion. AMH can be higher in PCOS.
- After ovarian surgery or endometriosis. Check reserve status.
- Family planning at any age. Create a personal roadmap.
When to Test AMH
AMH is stable across the cycle, so you can test any day.
It does not require fasting. You can book today and come in tomorrow.

Understanding AMH Results (pmol/L)
AMH units in the UK are commonly pmol/L.
(Conversion: 1 ng/mL ≈ 7.14 pmol/L.)
Ranges are guides. Age, cycle history and ultrasound matter.
Always interpret AMH with a clinician.
| AMH (pmol/L) | General Guide | What It May Suggest |
| >40 | Higher than average | Possible PCOS or robust reserve |
| 20–40 | Broad “normal” range | Typical reserve for many adults |
| 10–19 | Moderately low | Smaller reserve; consider planning |
| <10 | Low | Reduced reserve; act early |
| <5 | Very low | Urgent planning recommended |
AMH declines with age. A younger person with AMH 12 pmol/L differs from a late-30s person with the same value. We explain the nuance in your report.
AMH, Age and Fertility
- Egg quantity falls over time. AMH tracks this trend.
- Egg quality also drops with age, but AMH cannot measure quality.
- Combine AMH with age, ultrasound (antral follicle count), and history.
- For IVF, AMH helps tailor the drug dose and protocol.
AMH and IVF / Egg Freezing
Clinics often use AMH to predict ovarian response:
- Low AMH: may need a more careful protocol; response may be limited.
- Average AMH: typical response.
- High AMH: risk of over-response; dosing adjusted to reduce OHSS risk.
AMH does not predict pregnancy on its own. It guides safety and dosing.
AMH and PCOS
People with PCOS often have higher AMH because of many small follicles.
A high AMH does not automatically mean PCOS.
Diagnosis needs symptoms, ultrasound, and hormones. We can advise on the path.
Common Myths – Clarified
- “A single AMH value decides my fertility.”
False. It is one part of the picture. Age, AFC, and hormones matter. - “High AMH guarantees pregnancy.”
False. It suggests quantity, not quality or implantation success. - “Low AMH means no chance.”
False. Many people conceive with low AMH, naturally or with help.
Who Should Consider AMH Testing?
- You are 30 – 45 and want to plan ahead.
- You tried 6 – 12 months without success.
