Anti-mullerian hormone is produced by both men and women. In men, AMH is produced by the testes, which also produce sperm and male hormones. In women, AMH is produced by the ovarian follicles. Follicles are small fluid-filled sacs inside the ovaries which produce female hormones. Each follicle has the potential to release an egg for fertilisation. The amount of AMH present in a person depends on sex and age.
The formation and development of reproductive organs and genitalia in unborn male and female babies are affected by AMH.
In the very early developmental stages, while still in the womb, a boy's testes produce high levels of AMH that stimulate the growth of male reproductive organs while inhibiting the growth of female reproductive organs. It remains high until puberty, then reclines.
In baby girls, AMH is released at lower levels, which helps in the formation and development of female reproductive structures. At a young age, the level of this hormone is low. AMH is high after puberty when the ovaries start producing it. Levels of this hormone decline during their childbearing age, and AMH becomes undetectable after menopause.
AMH levels cannot predict fertility as some other factors also play a role in conception, such as:
- Age, medical condition, smoking
- Sperm count
- Irregular ovulation, blocked fallopian tubes, pelvic scarring, endometriosis, and fibrosis.
Test Necessity
An AMH test helps diagnose and monitor problems with the ovaries, such as polycystic ovary syndrome and ovarian cancer.
AMH levels can show the size of the ovarian reserve, thus, it may help to evaluate a woman's current fertility status or the onset of menopause.
The AMH report also helps to calibrate the dosage of drugs and hormones that are given to her when she is undergoing fertility treatment.
Test Preparation
No special preparation is needed for the AMH test. You will not need to fast. If you are taking birth control pills, your doctor may ask you to stop taking them two months prior to the test. Also, heavy exercise should be avoided before taking the AMH test.
During the AMH Test
You will be able to have your blood sample collected at home. At the time that you picked while booking the test, our phlebotomist will reach your home with a vein finder (to unerringly find the right vein), sealed needles, syringes and collection tubes. After swabbing the elbow pit, a needle will be inserted, and a small sample will be drawn and collected in a tube.

What is the AMH test cost in Aligarh?
The AMH test cost in Aligarh is within the range of INR 1275 to INR 2969. Discounts that are available at that time will lower the score.
What can't AMH tell about a woman's fertility?
The AMH strictly lets doctors know how many eggs are left in a woman’s ovaries. It is not indicative of a woman's fertility because that depends on the health of her reproductive system, hormones and equally on the sperm count of her partner.
Do AMH levels change throughout the menstrual cycle?
No, your AMH levels will not generally fluctuate throughout the month. AMH levels naturally begin to decline from the approximate age of 24 until the age of 50.
Is a low AMH score always indicative of low ovarian reserve?
Usually, as you grow older and more eggs are expelled from the ovaries during ovulation, the more your AMH levels decline. However, some external factors can give you a low AMH score, such as excessive exercise, smoking and, as per recent research, Vitamin D deficiency.
