Blood Tests

A good AMH level depends on your age, medical history and fertility goals. AMH is best understood in context rather than as a single number. Your fertility specialist will explain whether your result falls within your expected range and how it may influence your next steps.

A lower AMH result can feel worrying, but it can also give useful direction. It may suggest that ovarian reserve is lower than expected for your age, which can help you prioritise your fertility options. It does not mean you cannot get pregnant, nor does it measure egg quality. Your team will explain what the result means for you personally and whether any further testing or treatment options should be considered.

An AMH test may give information about ovarian reserve, which can decline as menopause approaches. However, AMH alone cannot confirm exactly when menopause will happen. If you are concerned about perimenopause, menopause or changes in your cycle, our doctors can talk through your symptoms and recommend the most appropriate next steps.

An AMH test is a useful fertility marker, but it should not be interpreted in isolation. Results can sometimes vary between laboratories or be influenced by individual factors. This is why we review AMH alongside your age, medical history, ultrasound findings and wider fertility picture.

AMH test results are usually available within a short timeframe, though exact timing can vary by laboratory. Our team will let you know when to expect your results and will explain them clearly once they are available.

You can have an AMH test in Ireland at Thérapie Fertility as part of a fertility assessment or as a standalone blood test. Our team can explain what the test involves, what your result may show, and whether further testing may be useful.

Some GPs may be able to arrange an AMH blood test. If you already have a recent GP result, our team can review it, where clinically suitable. AMH is most useful when interpreted by a fertility specialist, along with your medical history and any other relevant tests.

AMH levels are generally stable throughout the menstrual cycle, so there is usually no single best day to do an AMH blood test. This makes it a flexible fertility blood test. If you are having other hormone blood tests at the same time, your team may recommend a specific day for those tests. 

No, you usually do not need to fast for an AMH blood test. You can normally eat and drink as usual before the test. If any additional blood tests are being carried out at the same time and need specific preparation, your team will let you know in advance.

An AMH test is a blood test that measures anti-Müllerian hormone. It is used as a marker of ovarian reserve, providing an estimate of the number of eggs remaining in the ovaries. It is one of the most common blood tests used in fertility testing for women.

Unexpected results can feel worrying, but they can also provide useful direction. Your results help us understand whether further testing, medical review or treatment planning may be helpful.

Some blood tests can be done at any time, while others may need to be taken on a specific day of your menstrual cycle. Your team will explain the right timing for your tests before you book them.

Yes. If you have recent blood test results from your GP or another clinic, we can review them where clinically suitable. If the results are still valid and provide the information needed, we may not need to repeat them.

Blood tests are commonly used before fertility treatment because they provide important information about hormone levels, infection screening, immunity and general health. Your results can also help your team plan treatment more safely and personally.

Some men may need blood tests as part of fertility testing. A blood test for male fertility may help check hormone levels, general health markers or other factors that could affect sperm production. Male blood tests are usually reviewed alongside semen analysis, sperm DNA fragmentation testing, medical history and lifestyle factors.

Blood tests can give useful information about your fertility health, but they cannot confirm your full fertility potential on their own. They are most helpful when reviewed with your medical history and other relevant tests, such as ultrasound, HyCoSy or semen analysis.

Blood tests to assess female fertility may include AMH, hormone testing, thyroid function tests, FBC, and screening for rubella, chlamydia, and gonorrhoea.

AMH can provide information about ovarian reserve, while blood hormone tests may help us understand cycle patterns, ovulation, and reproductive health. Thyroid function, infection screening and immunity markers can also be relevant when planning fertility treatment.

Fertility blood tests may include AMH, hormone testing, FBC, thyroid function tests, and screening for chlamydia, gonorrhoea, and rubella. The exact tests recommended will depend on your medical history, fertility goals and whether you are preparing for treatment. For women, AMH is one of the most well-known blood tests to check female fertility, as it provides information about ovarian reserve. Blood test results are most useful when reviewed alongside your medical history and, where relevant, other tests such as ultrasound, HyCoSy, semen analysis or sperm DNA fragmentation testing.

Dont panic. Low AMH is not in itself a cause of infertility, but it is an indication of a decreased egg reserve. Our team will recommend further investigations and may recommend proactivity with respect to your fertility options and treatment.

We get all the information that we would get from a normal transvaginal ultrasound. Additionally, we learn more about the internal shape of the womb and whether or not the fallopian tubes are open.
