What Is Your AMH Level

AMH stands for Anti-Mullerian Hormone. This hormone level is an indicator of ovarian reserve. It can be tested via bloodwork to determine the number of follicles inside the ovaries as well as a woman’s egg count.

For the most part, AMH levels decrease as you age meaning that fertility decreases at a much faster rate when women reach their 30’s and 40’s.  Hence a high AMH level indicates a higher number of eggs remaining in the ovaries. A very high AMH can mean that a woman may possibly have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). A low AMH indicates a low number of follicles left leading to infertility.  

A typical AMH level for a fertile woman is 1.0–4.0 ng/ml; under 1.0 ng/ml is considered low and indicative of a diminished ovarian reserve. Here is a chart explaining the levels:
