What is the AMH blood test?
An AMH blood test measures anti-Müllerian hormone, produced by the small developing follicles in your ovaries. The level gives an estimate of ovarian reserve, meaning roughly how many eggs remain. Leyton Pharmacy provides the AMH blood test in London for £45, reviewed by a clinician.
AMH comes from the small follicles sitting in the ovary waiting to develop. The more of those there are, the higher the level. Because it does not swing much across the cycle, AMH can be measured on any day — which makes it far easier to arrange than tests that need careful timing.
The AMH blood test reports a number, usually in picomoles per litre. It is an estimate of quantity, not quality, and it does not predict whether or when you will conceive naturally. What it is genuinely useful for is planning. Your pharmacist at Leyton Pharmacy explains what your number suggests and when a fertility specialist is the right next conversation.

Why people get an AMH test
People book an AMH test to understand their ovarian reserve before making decisions. Anyone searching for an ovarian reserve test near me is often weighing up when to try for a baby, considering egg freezing, or preparing for fertility treatment. Leyton Pharmacy runs the test for £45.
- You are thinking about when to try for a baby and want information rather than guesswork.
- You are considering egg freezing and want a starting point before a clinic consultation.
- You have been trying to conceive and want a fuller picture alongside other tests.
- You have polycystic ovary syndrome, where AMH is often higher than average.
- There is a family history of early menopause.
- You have had ovarian surgery, chemotherapy or radiotherapy.
- You are preparing for IVF and want a baseline before your clinic appointment.
Signs it may be worth testing
Ovarian reserve produces no symptoms you can feel, which is why it is measured rather than noticed. The list below covers the situations that most often lead people to book a fertility blood test in Leyton. None of them tells you anything about your reserve on its own.
AMH is a planning number, not a verdict. It says something about quantity and nothing about egg quality, and it cannot tell you whether you will conceive — which is why the result belongs in a conversation rather than standing on its own.

Get your result explained
Your blood sample goes to a UKAS-accredited laboratory. Results are often back the same day, and a pharmacist explains what your AMH number suggests, read against your age group.
The appointment itself is straightforward. A trained member of our pharmacy team checks your details, asks a few questions about medicines, supplements and recent illness, then takes a small blood sample from a vein in your arm using a fresh, single-use needle. Most people describe a quick scratch and nothing more. You sit for a moment afterwards, we put a small dressing on, and you are on your way. There is no need to book time off — most people fit it around a normal day.
How to prepare for an AMH blood test
There is no fasting before an AMH blood test, and no cycle timing to work out — AMH can be measured on any day. For a private AMH test in the UK, the one thing genuinely worth flagging is hormonal contraception, which can lower the reading.
- 1Eat and drink normally. Fasting is not required for AMH.
- 2Come on any day of your cycle. Unlike progesterone, AMH does not need a particular day.
- 3Tell the pharmacist if you use hormonal contraception, including the combined pill, implant or hormonal coil, because these can lower AMH.
- 4Mention any fertility treatment you are having or have recently finished.
- 5Tell us about any ovarian surgery, chemotherapy or radiotherapy.
- 6If you are testing before a clinic appointment, ask for a copy of the report to take with you.
- 7Wear a top with sleeves that roll up easily, and bring a list of your medicines.
Understanding your results
Your AMH result arrives as a number alongside reference information from the laboratory that ran it. Units and ranges differ between UKAS-accredited laboratories, and expected values fall with age, so your figure is read against your age group. A pharmacist at Leyton Pharmacy talks you through it.
That is why we do not print age bands on this page. The reference information on your report is what applies to your sample, and it is read next to your age, your cycle history and anything you have told us about contraception or previous treatment.
AMH estimates how many eggs remain, not how good they are, and it does not predict whether or when you will conceive naturally. Plenty of people with a lower-than-average AMH conceive without help, and a high AMH is not a guarantee of anything either.
Where your result or your history suggests a fertility specialist would be useful, we will say so and advise you to speak to your NHS GP about a referral. Leyton Pharmacy does not replace that assessment.
Your AMH reference range
| Measure | Typical adult range | Units |
|---|---|---|
| AMH (by age group) | — | pmol/L |
Reference ranges are confirmed with our laboratory and printed on your own report. Your pharmacist will read yours with you at the pharmacy or over the phone, whichever suits you better.
