What is AMH?

Not trying to pre-empt tomorrows scan but I believe that my FSH can come out good when really its not - Maybe I should have had this test? Will have to see what happens tomorrow.

Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) is a new blood test developed following clinical research which measures ovarian function – how your ovaries are working. It is more accurate than a simple oestrogen test. Currently it is not available on the NHS.It can help reassure women about their current and medium term fertility – important when deciding when to try for children ,especially for women who work. It can also help to predict a likely menopause, and is starting to be used by some clinics to help judge possible IVF success and also as a marker of polycystic ovarian syndrome – a common hormonal condition.
