Is AMH Testing Accurate for Ovarian Reserve?

The AMH test is widely considered one of the most reliable indicators of ovarian reserve. It provides a quantitative measure of the number of remaining eggs by assessing hormone levels produced by small follicles in the ovaries. Unlike other markers, AMH levels are stable across the menstrual cycle, making them a dependable assessment tool. However, it is not flawless; it doesn’t assess egg quality or guarantee fertility outcomes. Factors such as lab variability and medical conditions like PCOS or hormonal disorders can influence accuracy. A comprehensive evaluation combining AMH with other tests, like FSH, estradiol, and ultrasound for antral follicle count, offers a more holistic view of ovarian reserve and reproductive potential.
