Book AMH Test — Purpose, Normal Range & Price

The Anti Mullerian Hormone (AMH) test is a blood test that measures the level of AMH, a hormone produced by the small follicles in a woman's ovaries. AMH is directly proportional to the number of follicles present in the ovaries at any given time, which makes it the most reliable and accurate marker of a woman's ovarian reserve, that is the quantity of eggs remaining in the ovaries. Unlike other fertility hormones such as FSH and estradiol whose levels fluctuate significantly across the menstrual cycle, AMH levels remain relatively stable throughout the cycle, making it possible to test on any day of the month. In men, AMH is produced by the testes and plays a role in the development of the male reproductive system during foetal development. In adult men, AMH testing is occasionally used to evaluate testicular function and certain disorders of sexual development. In India, where social and cultural pressures often lead women to delay marriage and childbearing, awareness of ovarian reserve has grown significantly over the past decade. Fertility specialists and gynaecologists across Indian cities increasingly use the AMH test as the first-line assessment of a woman's reproductive potential, both in women trying to conceive naturally and those exploring assisted reproductive techniques such as IVF and IUI.

Doctors prescribe an AMH test in the following situations: Assessing ovarian reserve in women who are planning to conceive and want to understand their current reproductive potential before attempting pregnancy. Evaluating unexplained infertility in women where other initial investigations have not identified a clear cause. A low AMH indicates diminished ovarian reserve as a possible contributing factor. Planning and optimising IVF treatment. AMH is the most important predictor of how a woman will respond to ovarian stimulation during IVF. A low AMH suggests a poor responder while a high AMH may indicate a risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. Diagnosing and monitoring Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), which is the most common hormonal disorder in Indian women of reproductive age. AMH levels are characteristically elevated in PCOS due to the large number of small follicles present in polycystic ovaries. Assessing the impact of medical treatments on ovarian function, including chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and ovarian surgery, all of which can significantly reduce ovarian reserve. Predicting the onset of menopause in women in their late thirties and forties who want to understand their reproductive timeline. A falling AMH in this age group is a reliable indicator of approaching menopause. Evaluating premature ovarian insufficiency in younger women who present with irregular or absent periods before the age of 40.

The AMH test measures the concentration of Anti Mullerian Hormone in the blood, reported in nanograms per millilitre (ng/mL) or picomoles per litre (pmol/L). Normal AMH Range in India AMH levels decline naturally with age as ovarian reserve diminishes over time. The following are the broadly accepted reference ranges used by fertility specialists across India. For women between 25 and 30 years of age, a normal AMH level is between 2.0 and 6.8 ng/mL. For women between 30 and 35 years of age, a normal AMH level is between 1.5 and 5.0 ng/mL. For women between 35 and 40 years of age, a normal AMH level is between 1.0 and 3.5 ng/mL. For women above 40 years of age, an AMH level above 1.0 ng/mL is considered acceptable though values in this age group are naturally lower. Interpreting AMH Results An AMH level below 1.0 ng/mL indicates diminished ovarian reserve and suggests a reduced number of remaining eggs. Fertility specialists typically advise women in this range not to delay conception and to explore assisted reproductive options promptly. An AMH level above 3.5 ng/mL in a non-PCOS context indicates a good ovarian reserve. In women with PCOS, AMH levels are frequently above 5.0 ng/mL and can sometimes exceed 10 ng/mL due to the large number of small antral follicles characteristic of polycystic ovaries. An AMH level below 0.5 ng/mL is classified as very low ovarian reserve and is associated with a significantly reduced chance of natural conception and a poor response to IVF stimulation.

One of the key advantages of the AMH test is its flexibility in terms of timing and preparation. The AMH test can be done on any day of the menstrual cycle. Unlike FSH and estradiol which must be tested on specific cycle days, AMH levels remain stable throughout the cycle, giving you complete flexibility in scheduling. Fasting is not required. You can eat and drink normally before the test without affecting the result. No medications need to be stopped before the test in most cases. However, oral contraceptive pills can suppress AMH levels and may produce a falsely low result. If you are currently on oral contraceptives, inform your doctor before booking as they may advise testing after a period off the pill. Stay normally hydrated before sample collection. Drinking water normally before the test is recommended. There are no dietary or lifestyle restrictions specific to the AMH test beyond the guidance above.
