What this test measures
- Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH)
- A hormone used as one part of assessing ovarian reserve. The result can help estimate ovarian response in fertility care, but it does not count eggs, measure egg quality or predict natural conception.
How clinicians use this test
Clinicians use Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) to look for the listed infection, exposure or resistance markers at the sampled sites. Results may support diagnosis, but window periods, site selection and confirmatory testing remain important.
Is this the right test for you?
Adults seeking testing for the listed infection(s) and sampled site(s), particularly after an appropriate test window. People with symptoms or a known contact should use a sexual-health service.
Preparation and collection
Return the sample on the same day it is collected. Do not post over weekends or bank holidays.
Understanding your result
Results are usually reported as detected, not detected, reactive or non-reactive rather than simply “normal”. A reactive or detected result may need confirmation or treatment; a non-detected result does not exclude exposure during the window period or infection at a site that was not sampled.
Your results and next steps
Review positive, reactive, unexpected or persistent-symptom results with a sexual-health service. Partners and treatment should be managed using clinician advice.
Limitations
AMH does not count eggs, assess egg quality or predict pregnancy. Results need age, treatment and clinical context.
When to get medical help
Do not wait for a postal result if you have symptoms, a known contact, are pregnant with a concern, or may need time-critical HIV post-exposure prophylaxis. Contact an NHS sexual-health service. Call 999 for a life-threatening emergency.
