AMH Testing Explained: What Your Results Really Mean for Fertility

If you’ve started thinking about your fertility, chances are you’ve come across the AMH test This simple blood test measures Anti-Müllerian Hormone, which offers an estimate of your ovarian reserve — essentially, how many eggs you have left. While AMH can’t predict the exact moment your fertility will decline, it’s one of the most reliable ways to understand where you stand today.

At Ovasave, we want women to access this knowledge before they’re in crisis mode. That’s why we’ve made the AMH and Fertility & Hormone Test available as a simple, at-home service.

What is AMH and Why It Matters

AMH is produced by small ovarian follicles. Higher AMH levels generally suggest a larger pool of eggs, while lower levels can indicate fewer remaining eggs. This information is particularly useful if you’re:

• Thinking about starting a family soon

• Considering egg freezing

• Wanting to get a baseline picture of your fertility

The point isn’t to cause alarm, but to give you data you can actually work with.

How AMH Testing Works

With Ovasave’s at-home fertility and hormone test, the process is straightforward. You prick your finger, collect a small blood sample, and send it to our accredited lab. Within just a few days, you’ll receive secure online results with a clear explanation of what they mean.

Making Sense of Your AMH Results

Every woman’s body is different, but here’s a general guide to interpreting AMH:

It’s worth stressing: a low AMH doesn’t mean pregnancy isn’t possible. It’s one factor among many — egg quality, sperm health, lifestyle, and other hormones like FSH and LH all matter, too.

Why Knowing Your AMH is Valuable

Knowledge is power. Understanding your AMH levels allows you to plan ahead instead of guessing. For some women, that means trying to conceive sooner. For others, it means preserving options through egg freezing. And for many, it’s simply reassurance — knowing where things stand today so there are fewer surprises later.

What to Do If Your AMH is Low

If your results suggest a low ovarian reserve, it doesn’t have to be a dead end. It might mean you’ll need more eggs retrieved during IVF or that your window for natural conception could be shorter — but many women with low AMH do go on to have children. Doctors may recommend lifestyle adjustments, egg freezing, or fertility treatments tailored to your situation.

It’s also worth looking at supplements. Ovasave’s Power Prenatal for Females + CoQ10 Boost was designed with antioxidants like CoQ10 and NAC, which are studied for their potential to support egg quality.

How Often Should You Test?

Think of AMH testing as part of your health check-in. For most women, every 12–18 months is enough to spot changes early. If you’re actively trying to conceive or working with a fertility specialist, your doctor may advise testing more often.

When Egg Freezing Becomes a Consideration

A low AMH result for your age is one of the clearer signals to look at egg freezing sooner rather than later. A low AMH result for your age can be a sign to consider egg freezing. Regulations, however, vary by country:

• In the UAE: Any woman — married or unmarried — is permitted to freeze her eggs, whether for medical or social reasons. This has made the UAE one of the most progressive countries in the region for fertility preservation.

• In Saudi Arabia: Egg freezing is only permitted for medical reasons, such as before undergoing treatments like chemotherapy that may affect fertility.

FAQs About AMH Testing

Can you increase AMH levels naturally?

Unfortunately, there’s no proven way to “raise” AMH levels. Your ovarian reserve is largely determined by genetics and age. What you can do is focus on egg quality. Lifestyle factors such as diet, exercise, sleep, and reducing stress may help create better conditions for fertility. Supplements like CoQ10 and NAC have been studied for egg health support, but they won’t change your AMH number itself.

Does AMH affect IVF success?

Yes — but not in the way most people think. AMH is primarily used to estimate how your ovaries might respond to stimulation during IVF. A higher AMH may mean more eggs retrieved, while a lower AMH might mean fewer eggs, but quality still matters more than quantity. Many women with low AMH achieve successful pregnancies with IVF. So while AMH gives doctors important information, it’s never the whole story.

How much does an AMH test cost in the UAE?

Clinic-based fertility testing can sometimes be expensive or bundled with consultations. At Ovasave, we’ve designed our at-home AMH test to be affordable and transparent, with no hidden clinic fees. That means you get reliable lab analysis and clear digital results at a price that makes proactive fertility care more accessible. Check our pricing →

Can I test AMH while on birth control?

Yes, you can — but here’s the nuance. Hormonal birth control is known to slightly suppress AMH levels. It usually doesn’t make a dramatic difference, but it may lower your result compared to what it would be off birth control. For most women, testing while on the pill still gives a solid estimate of ovarian reserve. However, if you want the most accurate reading possible, consider going off birth control for at least a month before testing. That way, you’ll see results that reflect your baseline more closely.
