Why other women have taken this test
I want kids, but not right now, since my career is just taking off. I want to know if I can still delay having kids naturally or if I need to consider freezing my eggs .
Anna, 33
I am unsure if I want kids but lately, I felt increasingly stressed that my body might make the decision for me. So I wanted to understand my personal biological clock.
Anonymous, 30
I am in my early 30ies and I really enjoy my life without kids right now. So I wanted to know if I could push that life choice off by a few more years.

Understanding this test
What you need to know about Ovarian Reserve & Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH)
What is the Ovarian Reserve and how does it impact fertility?
- The Ovarian Reserve refers to how many eggs remain in a woman's ovaries at any given time.
- Women are born with a set number of about 1 to 2 million eggs. As we age, this number decreases as eggs die off or are released during ovulation. When there are no more eggs left, a woman is not fertile anymore and she enters menopause. The timeline for this process differs from woman to woman - you could say, that our biological clocks tick differently.
- That also means, that our fertility timelines are different: Some women might still have a fairly large Ovarian Reserve in their 30ies and therefore are likely to have no trouble conceiving until their late 30ies. However, others, with less eggs remaining, might have trouble having kids naturally.
How does the Anti-Müllerian Hormone measure the Ovarian Reserve?
- The Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) is a key indicator to measure a woman's Ovarian Reserve, meaning how many eggs are left in her ovaries at a given time.
- AMH is a hormone that is produced by ovarian follicles in a woman's ovaries.
- The concentration of AMH in a woman’s blood correlates with the number of eggs she has left, making it the most commonly used indicator to determine a woman's Ovarian Reserve.
What does my Anti-Müllerian Hormone value tell me?
- Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) is a key indicator of a woman's ovarian reserve—meaning it gives insight into how many eggs she still has left in her ovaries.
- While it doesn’t measure egg quality, it helps estimate how much time she has left to conceive naturally or whether fertility preservation (like egg freezing) might be a good option.
- Your AMH level helps you decide when to have kids based on your fertility window. If your AMH is high, you may have more flexibility. If it’s low, you might want to start planning sooner or explore fertility preservation.
- A high AMH level suggests you have a good ovarian reserve, meaning there are still many eggs available.
- You may have more time to conceive naturally or to delay pregnancy if you wish.
- If you’re considering egg freezing, a high AMH increases the likelihood of retrieving a good number of eggs in one cycle.
- A low AMH level indicates that your egg supply is declining, which happens naturally with age.
- If you plan to have children in the future, you might want to consider trying sooner rather than later or look into fertility preservation options like egg freezing.
- If you're already trying to conceive and struggling, a low AMH may suggest it’s time to consult a fertility specialist for guidance.
- If AMH is very low, natural conception may become more difficult, and IVF or egg donation might be recommended.
- It’s important to consult a doctor to understand your individual fertility timeline and options.
What influences the Anti-Müllerian Hormone level?
- Age is the most significant factor impacting the Anti-Müllerian Hormone. level. Younger women generally have higher AMH levels than older women.
- Other factors include ovarian surgeries, chemotherapy or radiation therapy, endometriosis, autoimmune diseases, smoking, and endocrine disruptors.
- Hormonal birth control and the cycle itself also have an influence on the AMH value.
- Vitamin D influences the AMH level.
