Anti Mullerian Hormone (AMH)
The Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) test is a vital diagnostic tool primarily used to assess a woman ovarian reserve, providing a snapshot of the remaining egg supply. It is exceptionally helpful because, unlike other fertility markers, AMH levels remain relatively stable throughout the menstrual cycle, allowing the test to be performed at any time. By measuring the hormone produced by small ovarian follicles, it helps clinicians predict fertility potential, estimate the onset of menopause, and identify conditions like Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). For those undergoing IVF, it serves as a critical guide for personalizing medication dosages to optimize egg retrieval while minimizing the risk of ovarian overstimulation.
