Understanding your AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone) results
Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is released by small follicles in the ovaries. Its level reflects the number of follicles remaining, so it is used as a marker of ovarian reserve: the remaining egg supply. AMH is fairly stable through the menstrual cycle and can be measured on any day. It is reported in ng/mL or pmol/L (multiply pmol/L by 0.14 to convert to ng/mL) and falls with age until the menopause.
The ranges on this page are commonly quoted adult reference ranges. Laboratories set their own, so the range printed on your report is the one that applies to your result.
Commonly quoted adult reference ranges
>>>| Parameter | Reference range | Unit | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Band often labelled low reserve | < 1.0 | ng/mL | |
| Band often labelled low-normal | 1.0–1.5 | ng/mL | Read in the context of age |
| Band often labelled normal reserve | 1.5–3.5 | ng/mL | |
| Above the usual range | > 3.5 | ng/mL |
What a high AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone) result can mean
A high AMH reflects a large number of small follicles. It is often seen in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), in which many small follicles do not mature and cycles can be irregular. In IVF, a high AMH is linked to a stronger response to stimulation medicines, which fertility doctors take into account when planning treatment.
What a low AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone) result can mean
A low AMH indicates fewer remaining follicles than expected for age, described as diminished ovarian reserve. It does not mean that pregnancy is impossible. Causes of an early fall include genetic factors, autoimmune conditions, earlier surgery on the ovaries and chemotherapy.
How a doctor reads the result
AMH is one piece of information about fertility. A fertility doctor will usually interpret it alongside age, cycle history and an ultrasound count of follicles (antral follicle count). Discuss the result with your doctor, and say whether you are planning a pregnancy or fertility treatment.
Follow-up a doctor may arrange
A doctor may arrange a pelvic ultrasound for an antral follicle count and other hormone tests such as FSH. Decisions about fertility treatment or egg freezing are made with a fertility specialist.
