You can typically have an AMH blood test at any point in your menstrual cycle. This is because, unlike other reproductive hormones, AMH levels don’t fluctuate significantly throughout the month.

This anti-müllerian hormone (AMH) test measures the level of AMH, a hormone produced by ovarian follicles. AMH levels are a marker for ovarian reserve, which is the remaining egg supply in the ovaries. The AMH blood test can be used to assess a woman’s fertility potential and evaluate reproductive health.
The Women's Fertility Test is a stand-alone AMH Test. Labcorp OnDemand’s Women's Fertility Ovarian Reserve Test is a comprehensive fertility test with AMH, estradiol and FSH.
Note: This test does not diagnose or determine the cause of infertility, menstrual irregularities or any health condition. While this is an egg reserve test, it does not evaluate egg quality. However, this test can provide information to help you discuss your options with your healthcare provider and make informed decisions about your reproductive journey.
Preparation: No special preparation needed.
Whether you’re planning to start a family or curious about your fertility status, an AMH test provides you with a clear picture of your ovarian reserve, empowering you to make informed decisions about your reproductive status.
This LH blood test measures the LH level in your blood. Abnormal levels may indicate potential hormonal imbalances that could be affecting your fertility.1
An AMH test is the best measure of ovarian reserve. Testing AMH levels can provide important information if you're considering IVF and egg preservation treatments.
Higher AMH levels can suggest polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in women who may not have obvious signs of the syndrome. Symptoms of PCOS include irregular periods, acne, hair loss, weight gain and more.1

AMH is a hormone produced by reproductive tissues in both sexes. In the female reproductive system, AMH is secreted by developing egg sacs and is generally a good indicator of egg quantity (ovarian reserve). Generally, a high level of AMH indicates a higher egg supply, but your egg quantity decreases as you age, leading to a lower level of AMH. Additionally, high AMH levels can indicate conditions such as PCOS and other reproductive conditions.

Lower AMH levels generally indicate a lower ovarian reserve. Ovarian reserve declines naturally with age. However, it’s important to note additional factors like age, overall health and reproductive history also play significant roles in understanding fertility status.
AMH, produced by cells within ovarian follicles, reflects the number of eggs remaining in your ovaries. Follicles are tiny sacs containing eggs. Higher AMH levels indicate a greater ovarian reserve (more eggs), while lower levels suggest a diminished supply.
Note: The AMH test does not diagnose or determine the cause of infertility, menstrual irregularities or any health condition. It is recommended to consult with a healthcare provider if you have any questions about your result. This test does not evaluate egg quality or predict the likelihood of pregnancy.
