What is AMH?

I seem to have spent a lot of time talking about AMH in the past couple of weeks. Some women who have discovered their AMH is a lot lower than they expected, and others who are just wondering if they should be getting their AMH checked. But what is AMH? Do you need yo know what your AMH is?
AMH stands for Anti-Mullerian Hormone. This is a hormone secreted by cells in developing egg sacs (follicles), and the AMH level in a woman’s blood is generally a good indicator of her ovarian reserve. AMH does not change during your menstrual cycle, so the blood sample can be taken at any time of the month – even while you are using oral contraception.
