AMH test
The AMH level measured from a blood sample indicates the status of the functioning of the ovaries.
AMH level
An AMH test is used to study the level of anti-mullerian hormone in a woman’s blood. The measurement result shows how many small early-stage ovarian follicles are present in the ovaries. An AMH test provides information about the functional condition of the ovaries.
A woman’s AMH level is at its highest between the ages of 20 and 25, which is also generally the most fertile age.
How is an AMH test performed?
The AMH level is measured with a blood sample. The blood test is done at the beginning of the natural menstrual cycle. It is not advisable to carry out the test if you use combined oral contraceptive pills, a contraceptive ring or patch or if you are breastfeeding.

For whom is an AMH test recommended?
An AMH test should be considered if you are over 35 years of age and planning to start a family. Women over 30 should have their AMH level tested if their mother’s menstruation has ended prematurely and their menopause has begun early in their forties. The test is also recommended for 30-year-olds with endometriosis or if the ovaries have been treated with surgery.
Book an appointment at the Felicitas Mehiläinen fertility clinic if you want to have your AMH level tested.
