Your questions answered
How much does an AMH blood test cost?
£109 at one of 250+ Goodbody clinics or £129 with a nurse visiting your home, including the blood draw, laboratory analysis and a GP report that interprets your level for your age. Private AMH tests in the UK typically cost £80 to £150, with the doctor's interpretation sometimes extra. Fertility clinics often charge more as part of a consultation. Ours is one price, no referral needed.
What is AMH, and what does the test tell you?
Anti-Mullerian hormone is made by the small follicles in your ovaries that each contain an immature egg. The more follicles you have, the higher your AMH, so the level reflects your ovarian reserve: how many eggs remain, not their quality. It falls steadily with age and reaches very low levels in the years before the menopause. The test is used to estimate how you might respond to IVF stimulation, to help decide about egg freezing, and to understand whether a lower reserve could be part of the picture if conceiving is taking time.
What is a good AMH level to get pregnant?
There is no single number that means you can or cannot conceive, because AMH measures egg quantity, not quality or the chance of natural pregnancy in any given month. As a guide, laboratories describe roughly 15 to 48 pmol/L as satisfactory, below about 5 pmol/L as low, and above 48 pmol/L as high, with the expected level falling with age: a typical 25-year-old is around 25 pmol/L and a typical 40-year-old around 5 to 10. Your GP report interprets your result against the range for your age. Women with low AMH conceive naturally every day; what a low level does is shorten the window and shape IVF planning.
What is a normal AMH level for my age?
AMH peaks in the mid-20s and declines from around 30, faster from 35. Very roughly, average levels are about 25 pmol/L at 25, 18 at 30, 12 at 35, 6 at 40 and under 3 by 45, though the spread at every age is wide. Because of that spread, the useful question is not whether your level is average but whether it is much lower or higher than expected for your age, which is what your GP report tells you.
Can my GP check my AMH, and is it on the NHS?
Rarely. AMH is not part of standard NHS fertility investigations, which use FSH, LH and a pelvic ultrasound, and most GPs cannot order it; NHS fertility clinics measure it once you have been referred, usually after a year of trying. If you want to know your reserve before that point, to decide about egg freezing, or to plan when to start a family, a private test is the practical route, and the result can be shared with your GP or clinic.
When should AMH be checked?
When the answer would change a decision: before egg freezing, before IVF to plan the stimulation dose, when you are thinking about delaying a family and want to know how much time you may have, after six to twelve months of trying, or if you have a family history of early menopause, endometriosis, ovarian surgery or chemotherapy, all of which can lower reserve. It can be taken at any point in your cycle. It is less useful as a one-off check in someone with no plans to conceive, because it does not predict natural fertility well on its own.
Does low AMH mean early menopause?
A very low AMH does indicate a smaller reserve and, on average, an earlier menopause, and it is one of the markers used to assess premature ovarian insufficiency. But it cannot give a date: women with low AMH commonly have regular cycles for years, and the menopause is diagnosed from symptoms and periods, not from AMH alone. If your result is low for your age and you have irregular periods or menopausal symptoms, the GP report will suggest FSH and oestradiol testing, which our Menopause Blood Test covers.
Can I increase my AMH levels?
Not meaningfully. AMH reflects the follicles you have, and no diet, supplement or drug creates new eggs. Vitamin D deficiency and hormonal contraception can lower the measured level slightly, so correcting a deficiency or retesting after stopping the pill can raise the number, but the reserve itself is unchanged. What you can influence is egg quality and overall fertility: not smoking, a healthy weight, limiting alcohol and managing conditions such as PCOS or endometriosis. Beware supplements marketed as raising AMH.
What does a fertility test involve, and is AMH enough on its own?
AMH is one part. A full fertility assessment for a woman includes FSH, LH and oestradiol early in the cycle, which show how hard the brain is working to stimulate the ovaries, plus prolactin and thyroid, and an ultrasound count of follicles. Our Female Hormone and Fertility Blood Test covers the hormone panel, and AMH can be added at the same appointment. For couples, a semen analysis for the man is the other essential half; our Male Fertility Home Sperm Test provides it.
Does the contraceptive pill affect an AMH test?
Yes, modestly. Combined pills, the ring and some progestogen methods suppress follicle activity and can lower AMH by around 20 to 30 percent while you use them. The result is still informative, and your GP report takes contraception into account, but if you want your true baseline, test three months after stopping. Tell us which contraception you use when you book.
How long do AMH results take?
Results are emailed within 3 to 5 working days of your sample reaching the laboratory, with a GP report that places your level against the range for your age and explains what it means for the decision you are making.
Where can I get an AMH test near me?
At any of 250+ Goodbody clinics across the UK, or with a nurse visiting your home. AMH is not available as a finger-prick kit. No GP referral is needed. Find your nearest clinic.
What happens next
Your results and GP report are emailed to you within 3 to 5 working days of your sample reaching the laboratory. The report explains each marker in plain language, flags anything outside the reference range and says what to do next, including when to take the result to your own GP. All samples are analysed by a UKAS-accredited laboratory.
