    Product Summary

    AMH is a hormone produced by the follicles and is a measure of ovarian reserve helping to indicate the number of eggs a female has left.

    Learn More about your ovarian reserve and if its normal for your age. An Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) blood test may help you to make informed decisions on IVF or egg freezing.

    • Find out if your AMH level is normal for your age with a simple blood test
    • Personalised report with key findings
    • Optional remote GP appointment

    SAMPLE TYPE: finger prick

    Results in 2-3 working days from receipt of sample at lab

    Why Get Tested?

    Anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) is produced in the ovarian follicles and is used to reflect ovarian reserve (the remaining number of follicles within the ovaries capable of producing an egg).

    The AMH blood test will indicate if your levels are normal for your age and is useful if considering fertility treatment such as egg freezing or IVF. The World Health Organisation states infertility affects 1 in 6 people globally, with 17.5% of adults across the world affected by the inability to have a child. Both high and low levels of AMH can impact on fertility. Measurement of AMH cannot determine how many viable eggs a female has remaining or predict a female's chances of pregnancy.

    Typically, AMH levels peak when a woman reaches her mid-twenties and then decline with age, becoming undetectable post-menopause. A low AMH indicates diminished ovarian reserve and a higher AMH level indicates greater ovarian reserve; however, high levels can also occur in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

    It is important to note that some types of contraceptive pill may affect your results. If you stop taking the pill, we suggest waiting until your periods have resumed their normal cycle before taking this test. Make sure that you take an alternative form of contraception if you are not planning to become pregnant.

    What will my result include?

    It is important to note that the AMH blood test will not tell you how many viable eggs you have remaining, and it does not predict your likelihood of becoming pregnant. Your AMH result indicates if your AMH level is normal for your age.

    You must be over 18 years of age to purchase one of these home blood sample collection kits.

    Take your sample

    • Follow the instructions with your kit. You can watch the instructional video here.

    • Activate your kit before sending your sample back to the lab.
    • Place the prepaid label on the return package supplied containing your sample, and drop it off at the post office.

    Pharmacist FAQs Answered

    What is it that the AMH test measures, and why is it important?

    The AMH test is a test of how much Anti-Mullerian Hormone is in your blood, and it's what they use to estimate how much ovarian reserve you have—the number of eggs remaining. The hormone comes from small pouches in your ovaries, the follicles, that hold immature eggs. The higher the AMH, the higher the number of follicles, and possibly more eggs. Lower AMH may mean fewer eggs, which will impact your ability to conceive. This test is valuable if you're thinking about IVF, egg freezing, or just curious to understand your fertility health. AMH does not tell you how many good eggs you have or if you're fertile today. It's just one piece of a larger picture that includes age, overall health, and other hormone levels.

    How can I prepare for the AMH test to obtain the most accurate results?

    To get the most precise results for your AMH blood test, it is better if you are aware of where you are in your menstrual cycle. If you're testing for fertility (e.g., egg reserve), do the testing on day 2 or day 3 of your period. If you are testing for progesterone or hormone balance, test on day 21 or seven days prior to your next period. Combining pills can lower AMH levels, so wait until after you have stopped the pill and your natural cycle is back in place. Avoid taking the test if you are sick, dehydrated, or very stressed, as this could affect hormone levels. You don't need to fast, but be serious about all of the directions in the test kit to get good results.

    Is the AMH test used to diagnose fertility problems like PCOS?

    No, the AMH test by itself will not diagnose fertility problems or conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). But it can be very helpful. Women with PCOS have higher AMH because they have more follicles in their ovaries. Conversely, a low AMH level may indicate that fewer eggs are remaining, making it harder to conceive. But remember—some low AMH women get pregnant naturally, and some high AMH women need help too. The test serves as a stepping stone to guide what happens next, rather than providing a definitive result. Physicians tend to put AMH results together with other tests and your own medical history to provide a more complete picture of your fertility.

    Is it painful or hard to do the AMH blood test at home?

    The AMH test requires only a finger-prick sample, which is far less painful than a blood test drawn from a vein. It usually feels like a quick pinch. The kit contains all that you will require, including an easy-to-use lancet (a small device that helps you to prick your finger), sample tube, and prepaid return package. Carefully follow the instructions, and a handy video tutorial is also available for your reference. To make it easier, wash your hands in warm water beforehand before you start to help your blood flow. If you are uncertain or find it hard to get blood, you may ask someone for help or have a nurse visit and assist, if the service offers this convenience.

    Who can have the AMH test, and at what time is it best?

    The AMH test is helpful in women aged 18 years and above who require further information regarding their fertility health.
It's especially helpful if you are thinking about IVF, egg freezing, or delaying pregnancy. It is also helpful if you have an irregular cycle, are concerned about premature menopause, or have a family history of infertility. If you are not planning to become pregnant now but could maybe want to have a family in the future, this test can tell you how your fertility may change in the future. It’s best to take the test when your body is in its natural hormone state, meaning you’re not using hormonal birth control and your periods have returned to normal.

    What does a high or low AMH level mean for my future fertility?

    A high AMH reading means you likely have a larger store of eggs, which is generally a positive in most cases, but sometimes high levels are seen with PCOS, a condition that can interfere with ovulation. An unacceptably low AMH reading can mean your egg supply is declining, as happens naturally with ageing. But this does not necessarily mean you will not get pregnant. AMH is just one piece of the fertility puzzle. Some low AMH women become pregnant spontaneously, and some high AMH women need fertility treatment. It is always best to consult with a doctor about your full hormone profile, age, lifestyle, and health to understand what your AMH test result specifically means for you.

    What should I do when I have received my AMH test results?

    Your sample will be reported to you by email within 2–3 working days once your sample has been analysed.
This report will inform you of your AMH level and whether it is normal for your age group. It will also include some helpful points on what your result may indicate and what to do next. If your result is abnormal or you are not sure what it means, you can book an optional online GP consultation to explain your results with a doctor. You can also consult your own GP or fertility specialist for advice on fertility treatment, egg freezing, or lifestyle changes.
