What is the Ovarian Reserve test? 

This Ovarian Reserve test measures Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH), a hormone produced by the ovaries that helps to control the growth and maturation of the eggs. To keep levels healthy, it's important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, which includes eating a well-balanced diet, getting regular exercise, and managing stress. AMH levels are tested to check for any imbalances that may affect a woman's fertility. If you have any concerns or symptoms related to your fertility, it's important to speak with your doctor.

What biomarkers are measured in this test?

• Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH)

Who should take this test?

Ovarian Reserve testing is recommended for women who are experiencing infertility, or who are planning to start a family in the near future. Women over the age of 35, or those with a family history of early menopause, may also find the test useful. It is important to note that this test is not a guarantee of future fertility, but rather an important tool in understanding a woman's reproductive potential.

Is there anything I need to know before taking this test?

For this test to be accurate, you will need 3 months without contraception. So discuss with your GP if you are using contraception of any kind. Also discuss this test with your GP if you have any medical problems or are taking any medication. 

You must be at least 18 years old to use our testing services.

How often should I take this test?

Women with irregular periods may benefit from repeating the test after 6 weeks. Other women may wish to take this test annually as part of their overall reproductive health evaluation.

What could results out of range (abnormal) mean? 

A low AMH (Anti-Mullerian Hormone) blood test result can indicate a lower egg reserve in a woman's ovaries, which may make it more difficult for her to become pregnant. This can be caused by a number of factors, such as age or certain medical conditions. Your doctor may recommend fertility treatments such as IVF (in-vitro fertilisation) or suggest you to seek specialist for further evaluation.

What could results in range (normal) mean?

A normal AMH level indicates that a woman's egg reserve is within a healthy range and she may have a better chance of becoming pregnant naturally. However even if you have a normal AMH level it's important to speak with your doctor if you have any concerns or symptoms related to your fertility.

How can I improve my results?

There is nothing specifically you can do to increase your ovarian reserve, largely this is determined by genetics; although following a healthy lifestyle, stopping smoking, and maintaining a healthy weight is recommended.

What other tests could I consider?

Patients suffering from weight changes may also benefit from a test for Diabetes and Thyroid problems.
