What does your AMH level say about your fertility?
The Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is one of the most important markers in fertility diagnostics. It gives us information about your ovarian reserve – that is, how many eggs your ovaries still hold.
What is a good AMH level?
- Above 1.0 ng/ml: normal reserve
- 0.5–1.0 ng/ml: reduced reserve
- Below 0.5 ng/ml: severely reduced reserve
- Above 3.5 ng/ml: increased OHSS risk
Important to understand
The AMH level says something about the quantity of eggs, but not about their quality. A woman with a low AMH can still have healthy eggs. Conversely, a high AMH level does not guarantee a pregnancy.
When should you have your AMH level measured?
If you are over 30 and not yet ready or able to pursue your wish to have children, an AMH test can provide valuable information. As a self-pay service it costs approx. €50 and results are available within a few days.
Our tip
An AMH test is not a prognosis – it is one piece of the puzzle. Together with ultrasound, medical history and other hormones, it forms a complete picture of your fertility.
