AMH Test Price, Procedure, Purpose & Normal Ranges

What is AMH?

AMH plays an important role in developing sex organs in a baby before birth. It is a hormone produced in the ovaries in females, and the testis in males. Males require a high level of AMH, while females need less amount to develop reproductive organs. A higher requirement in males prevents them from developing female sex organs.

Purpose of AMH Blood Test (anti-mullerian hormone test) 

AMH test assesses the levels of anti-mullerian hormone in your body. It is a blood test to check infertility and help to get the right treatment for the same. 

Females take the test to: 

• Check the number of eggs present in the ovaries. The ovarian status is checked to evaluate infertility and the responsiveness of ovaries. It helps in taking the measures regarding reproduction and giving the right diagnosis to the individual.

• Identify the problems in the menstrual cycle and any dysfunctionality in the ovaries. The test can also assess the size of the ovarian reserve. 

• The test predicts the possibility for a woman to get pregnant. 

• Detect and monitor issues responsible for high levels of AMH. High levels of AMH can cause certain kinds of ovarian cancer and PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome). PCOS is a hormonal dysfunction responsible for infertility.

• Older women can find menopause status through the test. It can tell if a woman is close to menopause or not. AMH levels drop once a woman reaches menopause. It can be detected if a woman is having premature menopause. 

In males and children, the test can be useful to:

• Judge the testicular function.

• Check the health status of testicles in male babies. Healthy testicles in male babies produce AMH.

• There is difficulty in conceiving.

• A female has symptoms of PCOS such as excessive hair growth on the face, skin problems, hair loss, fertility reduction, irregular periods, sudden weight loss or gain, and sleep disturbance.

• They’re experiencing fertility issues. Here, an AMH test can detect the number of eggs and if the amount is sufficient for your age. 

• They are planning to have fertility treatment. The test can determine if your levels are sufficient to respond efficiently to the treatment. If your AMH is low, you may be advised differently to proceed with the difference.

Minimum AMH to get pregnant

A range between 1.0 - 4.0 ng/mL must be present in the blood to increase the chances of pregnancy. The range below 1.0 ng/mL is considered low and indicates a low number of eggs. 

Symptoms and Causes of low AMH levels

• The major symptoms of low AMH include:

• Trouble getting pregnant

• Premature menopause symptoms like anxiety, hot flashes, mood swings, and irritability.

• Irregular or shorter cycles of menstruation. 

Causes of Low AMH levels:

Age plays an important role in changing the levels of AMH in a female body. After the age of 35, the amount of eggs starts declining, which makes conceiving more difficult. One must get the test done if one wishes to delay their pregnancy. It is advised to get in touch with a medical professional to discuss options in this matter. 

Stress is one of the leading causes of lower AMH levels. Managing stress can balance the AMH levels and increase fertility in women. 

Vitamin D deficiency is also a major concern and cause of insufficient AMH. The deficiency of vitamin D must be managed to increase the egg number and improve its quality. An imbalanced diet and irregular eating habits can affect AMH levels, too.
