What does the AMH test show?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A woman\u2019s egg reserve is estab\u00adlished before birth and decreas\u00ades over the course of life. No new eggs are formed. Anti-M\u00fcl\u00adler\u00adian hor\u00admone (AMH) can be used to esti\u00admate how large the remain\u00ading ovar\u00adi\u00adan reserve is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMH is pro\u00adduced by small, grow\u00ading fol\u00adli\u00adcles in the ovaries. In gen\u00ader\u00adal: the low\u00ader the AMH lev\u00adel, the small\u00ader the egg reserve is usu\u00adal\u00adly. How\u00adev\u00ader, the AMH lev\u00adel does not indi\u00adcate the qual\u00adi\u00adty of the eggs or how like\u00adly a spon\u00adta\u00adneous preg\u00adnan\u00adcy is in a giv\u00aden cycle. For a mean\u00ading\u00adful assess\u00adment, the val\u00adue is there\u00adfore always inter\u00adpret\u00aded togeth\u00ader with age and\u2014depending on the question\u2014additional find\u00adings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anti-M\u00fcl\u00adler\u00adian hor\u00admone (AMH) can be mea\u00adsured with a sim\u00adple blood draw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Endometriosis\u2014especially endometri\u00adomas on the ovaries\u2014can be asso\u00adci\u00adat\u00aded with reduced ovar\u00adi\u00adan reserve. In addi\u00adtion, surgery for endometri\u00adomas can fur\u00adther affect egg reserve. If you are try\u00ading to con\u00adceive or post\u00adpon\u00ading fam\u00adi\u00adly plan\u00adning, an ear\u00adly assess\u00adment of ovar\u00adi\u00adan reserve may there\u00adfore be use\u00adful. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

How\u00adev\u00ader, the sci\u00aden\u00adtif\u00adic evi\u00addence varies depend\u00ading on the con\u00addi\u00adtion, so a low AMH lev\u00adel should always be assessed in the indi\u00advid\u00adual med\u00adical con\u00adtext. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Can AMH lev\u00adels be improved?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    A low AMH lev\u00adel can\u00adnot be specif\u00adi\u00adcal\u00adly increased, and an already reduced egg reserve can\u00adnot be replen\u00adished. How\u00adev\u00ader, the mea\u00adsured AMH lev\u00adel can fluc\u00adtu\u00adate and may be high\u00ader or low\u00ader on repeat test\u00ading. This does not mean that new eggs have formed or that the actu\u00adal egg reserve has increased or decreased accord\u00ading\u00adly. The key is there\u00adfore not to \u201cimprove\u201d the AMH lev\u00adel itself, but to inter\u00adpret it cor\u00adrect\u00adly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
