AMH = Anti Müllerian Hormone: A hormone that is formed in the early follicles in the ovaries.
We analyze it here in the clinic, as it is an important parameter that we use in the overall assessment of how we can help you in the best way to become a parent.
AMH can be measured in a blood test and is used to assess the number of eggs that can mature in your ovaries.
A high AMH value is a sign of many follicles and a young biological age, a sign of a large “egg reserve”, but it can also be a sign of PCOS = Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. A low AMH value is an indication that the ovary has an older biological age and thus a smaller egg reserve.
AMH is used in conjunction with an ultrasound scan of the ovaries to assess the ovaries before a fertility treatment. AMH is very constant throughout the menstrual cycle and is therefore a useful measure.
Sellmer Clinic has its own equipment for measuring AMH and therefore we can give you the answer the same day as you get the blood sample taken.
| AMH-concentration pmol/l | AMH-concentration ng/ml | Significance for fertility treatment |
| Over 7 | Over 1,0 | Normal value. Good treatment options |
| Between 3-7 | Between 0,4-1,0 | Somewhat low value, Treatment can be increased |
| Below 3 | Below 0,4 | Very few eggs on stimulation. The chances of pregnancy is significantly reduced |
