What Is the Anti-Müllerian Hormone and Why Is It Important for Pregnancy?

The Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) is a vital marker in reproductive health, helping assess a woman’s ovarian reserve—the number of eggs available in her ovaries. Understanding AMH levels is crucial for evaluating fertility and planning for pregnancy.


A woman’s ovarian reserve refers to the number of eggs remaining in her ovaries at any given time. Women are born with approximately 1 million eggs, but this number naturally declines with age:

  • By puberty, around 300,000 eggs remain.
  • The ovarian reserve steadily declines, with a sharper drop after age 35.
  • As the ovarian reserve diminishes, AMH levels also decrease.

Since AMH directly reflects a woman’s ovarian reserve, it serves as a key marker of fertility, making it an important test for women planning to conceive.


How Do Ovarian Reserve and AMH Affect Pregnancy Chances?

A higher ovarian reserve increases the chances of achieving pregnancy. To assess ovarian reserve, fertility specialists use two main methods:

AMH Blood Test – A simple blood test to measure AMH levels.
Ovarian Ultrasound – An ultrasound to count antral follicles, which have the potential to develop into mature eggs.

These tests provide valuable insights into reproductive potential, allowing women to make informed decisions about their fertility journey.
