Ovarian Reserve Testing
Find out your ovarian reserve with a professional AMH blood test. This simple assessment provides clear insight into your fertility potential and supports informed decisions about your reproductive health.
What is Ovarian Reserve Blood Testing?
Ovarian reserve blood testing measures the levels of Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) in your blood. AMH is produced by small follicles in the ovaries and reflects the number of eggs you have available. The test is usually a simple blood sample taken at any point in your cycle. By understanding your AMH levels, you can get a clearer picture of your fertility potential, plan family-building decisions, and discuss options with a healthcare professional if needed. The test is quick, minimally invasive, and provides reliable information about ovarian function.
Who Should Take Ovarian Reserve Blood Testing?
Ovarian reserve blood testing offers valuable insight into your fertility potential by measuring Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) levels. This simple test is an important step in understanding your reproductive health, supporting preventative care, and guiding informed family planning. By knowing your ovarian reserve, you gain clarity about your options and can make proactive decisions with confidence.
You may benefit from ovarian reserve testing if you:
- Are planning a family in the future and want to understand your fertility timeline.
- Have been trying to conceive and want to explore possible factors affecting fertility.
- Are considering fertility preservation, such as egg freezing, and need to know your current egg supply.
- Are starting fertility treatment and want baseline insights before next steps.
- Simply want reassurance about your reproductive health and ovarian function.

What Ovarian Reserve Blood Test Biomarkers Are Measured?
An ovarian reserve blood test at Hormone Health measures important hormone biomarkers that reveal information about your fertility potential. This ovarian reserve blood test focuses on Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH), which helps estimate how many eggs are available and overall ovarian function. The main biomarker measured is:
- Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH): Produced by small follicles in the ovaries, AMH levels remain stable throughout the menstrual cycle. Measuring this hormone provides a reliable indication of your remaining egg supply and overall ovarian reserve.
Understanding Your Ovarian Reserve Blood Test Results
The standard level of Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) provides a reliable reference for assessing ovarian reserve. At Hormone Health, your AMH result helps you understand your fertility potential and plan next steps for reproductive health. While each individual’s levels may vary, reference ranges give a clear indication of ovarian function.
- Higher than standard AMH: Suggests a larger ovarian reserve, indicating a healthy number of developing follicles.
- Lower than standard AMH: Suggests a reduced ovarian reserve, which may signal the need for earlier family planning discussions or further investigations.
- Within standard range: Indicates typical ovarian function, offering reassurance about fertility potential.
FAQs
Do I need to fast?
No. AMH testing normally does not require fasting. If any additional bloods do need fasting, we will tell you at booking.
When should I take the test?
AMH can usually be taken on any day of your cycle. If we add other hormones, we may time those to specific cycle days.
Where is the blood taken?
At The Doctor’s Laboratory (TDL) walk-in near One Welbeck. Your sample is not taken in the clinic itself.
How quickly will I get results?
Results typically return within a few days. A specialist reviews them and we explain your results and next steps in a follow-up.
What does AMH actually tell me?
AMH reflects ovarian reserve, not whether you will or will not conceive. It informs planning, timelines, and whether further investigations are sensible.
Can medication or contraception affect AMH?
Some hormonal treatments may influence results. Please tell your clinician about contraception, fertility medication, or recent hormone therapy before testing.
Is AMH useful if I have PCOS?
AMH can be higher in PCOS due to more small follicles. Your clinician will interpret AMH alongside symptoms and, if needed, other tests.
Will I need an ultrasound as well?
Sometimes. Ultrasound can complement AMH by assessing antral follicle count. If indicated, we will arrange imaging separately.
How often should I retest AMH?
If you are monitoring change or planning treatment, we typically review every 6–12 months, or sooner if clinically indicated.
Is my information kept confidential?
Yes. Your results are stored securely and shared only with you and your care team, with clear guidance on next steps.
