Frequently asked questions
Who is this test for?
It is for women who want to understand their remaining egg supply, whether planning ahead, considering egg freezing, or investigating difficulty conceiving. It measures AMH alongside FSH, LH and oestradiol.
When can I take this test?
AMH can be measured at any point in your cycle, as it stays relatively stable. If FSH, LH and oestradiol are included, days two to five give the most reliable readings, so testing early in your cycle covers everything at once.
What does a low AMH result actually mean?
It indicates a smaller remaining pool of eggs, which is relevant to fertility timing and to how you might respond to IVF stimulation. Importantly, it says little about egg quality and does not mean you cannot conceive naturally. Many women with low AMH conceive without assistance.
Does the contraceptive pill affect AMH?
It can lower the measured value modestly. The result remains broadly useful, but if you are making significant decisions based on it, testing after a break from hormonal contraception gives a more accurate figure. Please tell us what you are using when booking.
Will this test tell me when I will reach menopause?
Not with any precision. AMH declines as menopause approaches and gives a general indication of where you are in that process, but it cannot predict a date. It is best used as one piece of information within a broader fertility discussion.
