What’s a Good AMH Level for Pregnancy? Understanding Your Numbers
If you're starting to think about your fertility, you may have come across the term AMH. It might sound complicated, but understanding your AMH level can help you learn more about your chances of getting pregnant. At RBA, we’re here to help explain what these numbers mean and how we can support you every step of the way.
What Is AMH?
AMH stands for anti-Müllerian hormone. It’s a hormone made by the small follicles in your ovaries. These follicles contain eggs that your body might use in future menstrual cycles. The amount of AMH in your blood gives doctors an idea of how many eggs you might have left. This is often called your ovarian reserve.
You can check your AMH level with a simple blood test. The number stays mostly the same throughout your cycle, so you don’t need to worry about what day of the month you test.
Why Is AMH Important for Fertility?
AMH is one of the tools fertility doctors use to understand your reproductive health. In general:
-
Higher AMH means you likely have more eggs
-
Lower AMH means you may have fewer eggs
But it’s important to know that AMH is not the only thing that matters. You can still get pregnant with a low AMH level, and having a high AMH level doesn’t guarantee pregnancy.
Doctors also look at things like your age, other hormone levels, and your overall health to get the full picture. If you're curious about your fertility or want to start planning for pregnancy, AMH is a great place to start.

Keep in mind: This chart is just a guide. Some people with low AMH get pregnant naturally, and some with normal AMH still need help. Everybody is different.
