What is AMH (anti-Mullerian hormone)?

AMH on your report

Usually reported in ng/mL.

There is no single normal number:

• what counts as normal depends a lot on your age
• each lab prints its own range

Your doctor will read it with your age, your ultrasound and your other hormone results.

What AMH tells your doctor

AMH naturally falls with age and drops to nearly zero at menopause, so a low level can suggest fewer eggs remain.

AMH does not show egg quality and cannot on its own predict:

• whether you will get pregnant
• exactly when menopause will come

So it is always read with your age and other tests. A high AMH can be a sign of PCOS, because women with PCOS often have many small follicles.

Can food change your AMH?

Food cannot add eggs or change your ovarian reserve, and AMH should not be chased with diets or supplements.

In PCOS, what helps your overall hormone health is the same steady routine:

• balanced meals with protein and fibre
• fewer sugary and refined foods
• regular activity
• slow weight loss if needed

This often improves periods and insulin. If you are planning a pregnancy, talk to a fertility doctor about your result.
