In short

Anti-Mullerian hormone, or AMH, is made by the small developing follicles in a woman's ovaries. The level reflects the pool of eggs still in reserve, known as ovarian reserve. Men make AMH in the testes, where it has a different role.

Why test this?

In women, AMH is a widely used marker of ovarian reserve. It stays fairly steady across the cycle, so it can be measured on any day, and it helps predict how the ovaries may respond to fertility treatment.

AMH falls with age and approaches very low levels near menopause. A high AMH is common in polycystic ovary syndrome. AMH indicates egg quantity, not egg quality, and on its own it does not confirm or rule out the chance of conceiving naturally.

What is a normal result?

Aniva reads your result against research-backed ranges, not just the lab's wide normal. The reference shown below is specific to this biomarker.

Adult reference values as used by Aniva. Ranges are guidance and can vary by laboratory and method.

Group	Normal range
Men	0.77 to 14.5 µg/L
Women, age 20 to 24	1.22 to 11.7 µg/L
Women, age 25 to 29	0.89 to 9.85 µg/L
Women, age 30 to 34	0.576 to 8.13 µg/L
Women, age 35 to 39	0.147 to 7.49 µg/L
Women, age 40 to 44	0.027 to 5.47 µg/L
Women, age 45 to 50	0.01 to 2.71 µg/L
Women, age 51 to 55	Below 0.88 µg/L

Your Aniva report reads your result against these values together with your age, sex and the rest of your panel.

Ranges are guidance and vary by lab and assay, aligned with DGKL practice. Always read your result against your own lab's reference interval.

What insights will this test give you?

Your result, read against your age, gives a sense of your ovarian reserve. It supports planning around fertility and family timing and helps anticipate the response to treatments like IVF.

What can affect this result?

What can skew the result

Hormonal contraception can modestly lower AMH. Results differ between assays, so values are not directly comparable across labs. AMH reflects egg quantity, not quality, and does not predict natural conception on its own.

Best interpreted with

Best read together with FSH, estradiol, and, on ultrasound, the antral follicle count, alongside your age.
