Check key hormones linked to fertility and ovarian function - ideal if you're planning fertility treatments, or investigating hormonal imbalances.
AMH can be tested on any day of your cycle, no need to wait for a specific time like other hormone tests.
You can test while on hormonal contraception. For some, AMH levels may be slightly lower, but it still offers a useful baseline.
No fasting is needed. You can eat and drink normally before taking this test.
Some medical treatments, such as chemotherapy or ovarian surgery, may influence your AMH levels.
It's best to test between day 2-5 of your cycle (where day 1 is the 1st day of bleeding). If your cycle is irregular, testing at any time provides valuable insights.
Hormonal contraception can affect your hormone results, we recommend to just test your AMH instead of a full hormone panel.
No fasting is needed. You can eat and drink normally before taking this test.
Some medications such as hormone treatments can affect results. Feel free to get in touch to discuss.

You can test AMH while on birth control, but if you're on the pill, patch, or ring, your levels may be slightly lower than your actual ovarian reserve. While hormonal contraception may slightly lower AMH levels, many women choose to test their AMH to establish a baseline, helping them decide whether to pause birth control for a more accurate assessment of their ovarian reserve.If you want the most accurate reading of your ovarian reserve, you may consider stopping hormonal contraception for 1-3 months before testing. If stopping birth control isn’t an option, you can still test—just interpret the results with the awareness of possible suppression.
The cost of an AMH test via traditional clinics in the UK ranges from £130-200 and while at-home tests are a bit cheaper, they typically include additional GP consultation costs, which adds up to the same cost as clinics. On the other hand, Amilis offers an affordable AMH test at just £80, which includes a comprehensive report and a free doctor consultation to discuss your results..
The cost of an AMH test on the NHS is the same as private clinics or the prices at NHS hospitals. The NHS does not typically fund AMH tests unless you are at high risk of infertility due to conditions such as chemotherapy, or have been TTC for atleast a year without getting pregnant. If you meet the crtieria, you will be referred to an NHS hospital or clinic via your GP.
As we previously mentioned, AMH tests don’t tell you everything about your fertility. Because this hormone is released by the eggs growing in your ovaries, it’s good for understanding the general level of your ovarian function. An AMH test, along with (AFC) testing can give even more information about ovarian reserve, and how well you’ll respond to ovarian stimulation.If you’re worried about your fertility or suspect something is wrong, contact your doctor directly. They can organise the tests and scans required.
At-home AMH tests are convenient. However, these tests still require a blood sample, which is usually taken by pricking the finger. It can sometimes be difficult to get enough blood at home.The sample is then sent to a lab for analysis, and the results are provided. You should follow up with a healthcare provider to discuss the test results. If you’re not already seeing a specialist, book a free specialist consultation through Amilis.Some clinics might ask you to do a repeat test for egg freezing, as not all clinics accept at-home test kits.
If your low AMH levels are caused by lifestyle factors, like smoking, or alcohol, stopping can improve or protect your AMH levels from further decline. In case of other reasons such as genetics, surgery, or illnesses, based on the reason for your fluctuating AMH levels, your doctor may prescribe medication or a treatment protocol.Unfortunately, there’s no clear evidence that one thing significantly increases AMH levels.
The AMH test primarily measures your AMH levels, which indicates your egg reserve. The Complete Hormone Panel is more comprehensive, testing multiple hormones to give insights about fertility, menstrual health, and underlying conditions that might affect conception.
Once your results are ready, you'll receive a comprehensive report explaining your hormone levels and what they mean for your fertility. If you'd like to discuss your results in more detail, you can book a free consultation with one of our fertility specialists to discuss the next steps.
For the most accurate hormone measurements, we recommend taking the test between days 2-5 of your menstrual cycle (counting from the first day of your period).
Your test results will be securely shared with you via email, typically within 2-3 working days after your sample is processed. Your detailed report will include your levels, clear, understandable descriptions, and egg-freezing success.
You can opt for the full hormone panel test while on birth control, but if you're on the pill, patch, or ring, your levels may be slightly lower than your actual ovarian reserve. If you have a copper IUD, you can proceed with testing as it doesn't affect your hormone levels.Hormonal contraception may slightly lower biomarkers such as AMH levels. If you want the most accurate reading of your ovarian reserve, and overall fertility you may consider stopping hormonal contraception for 1-3 months before testing. If stopping birth control isn’t an option, you can still test—just interpret the results with the awareness of possible suppression.
