Women's Fertility Ovarian Reserve Test

$219

The fertility journey can be difficult—this AMH test is your first step.

Whether you are years away from having children or already trying, you deserve to know your reproductive potential. Our Women's Fertility Ovarian Reserve Test package is a good place to start. It measures three hormones: AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone), FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone) and Estradiol. These hormones play a vital role in the production of oocytes (eggs), giving an assessment of a woman’s ability to conceive.

While no fertility blood test can predict the likelihood of pregnancy, an ovarian reserve test can assess egg quantity to help predict ovarian response to stimulation (if you decide egg freezing or in vitro fertilization are right for you).

This is an egg reserve test, but it does not evaluate egg quality. However, tracking your levels over time can provide information to help you discuss your options with your healthcare provider to make informed decisions about your reproductive journey.

Are you over 35?

About 20 percent of women in the U.S. have their first child after age 35.¹

About 20 percent of women in the U.S. have their first child after age 35.¹

About one-third of couples in which the woman trying to get pregnant is over 35 have fertility problems.1

Looking to freeze your eggs?

An AMH test is the best measure of ovarian reserve to help women make decisions regarding IVF and egg preservation (egg freezing) treatments.

An AMH test is the best measure of ovarian reserve to help women make decisions regarding IVF and egg preservation (egg freezing) treatments.

Freezing eggs at a younger age can help preserve fertility options for the future. Nearly 12,500 American women elected to freeze their eggs in 2020.^2,3

Curious about PCOS?

In the same way that an AMH test can help predict the likelihood of a successful IVF procedure, it can help detect PCOS in women who may not have obvious signs of the syndrome.⁵

What's Tested

Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH)

AMH is a hormone produced by reproductive tissues in both sexes. In the female reproductive system, AMH is secreted by developing egg sacs and is generally a good indicator of egg quantity (ovarian reserve). Generally, a high level of AMH indicates a higher egg supply, but your egg quantity decreases as you age, leading to a lower level of AMH. Additionally, high AMH levels can indicate conditions such as PCOS and other reproductive conditions.
Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH)

A hormone that plays a vital role in reproduction by helping the body develop eggs.
Estradiol (E2)

The most common type of estrogen, produced by the ovaries, that regulates reproductive cycles in women.

FAQ

Age is the biggest contributing factor to a low ovarian reserve, since egg counts diminish over time. For example, most women and people assigned female at birth (AFAB) who are over the age of 40 have 25,000 eggs or less (compared to 300-400,000 eggs during puberty).⁷ Genetics, autoimmune conditions, and certain medical treatments can also be causes, but sometimes there is no cause identified. Consider using an ovarian reserve test to get a clearer picture of your body’s egg count and ability to conceive.
Many people don’t have specific symptoms other than difficulty conceiving. Some may notice changes in their menstrual cycle, hot flashes, or vaginal dryness. Because symptoms may be absent or nonspecific, ovarian reserve testing can help provide answers about egg count as one important indicator of fertility.
A female fertility test provides information about ovarian reserve and reproductive potential. Our Ovarian Reserve test measures three key hormones responsible for egg production: anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and estradiol.

This test does not evaluate egg quality or predict the likelihood of pregnancy. However, it does provide easy-to-understand results and insights on your reproductive hormone levels so you can discuss options with your healthcare provider and make informed decisions.
Currently, there are no known ways of increasing ovarian reserve. However, adopting healthy habits, such as a balanced diet and regular exercise, can help improve your overall egg health and quality.⁶ It’s important to follow up with your healthcare provider to discuss any abnormal results and evaluate next steps.
If you are over the age of 35, taking an egg reserve test can help you better understand your chances of getting pregnant. It can also provide information to help you make important reproductive decisions, such as whether you should freeze your eggs or consider IVF. Finally, if you wonder whether you have polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), an ovarian reserve test may help detect PCOS in those who may not have obvious symptoms.

Once you’ve ordered an ovarian reserve test, the best time to collect a sample is on the third day of your menstrual period, when hormone levels are at their most stable.
