WHAT?

At-home sample collection device for measuring levels of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH). Laboratory results are provided within 5 days.

WHY?

Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is secreted by the ovarian follicles and levels of this hormone correspond to a female’s egg count. The higher one’s level, the more follicles (potential eggs) they are expected to have, which may increase fertility. Conversely, when a woman reaches menopause, levels of AMH drop. Testing can therefore help predict fertility and/or onset of menopause.

WHO & WHEN?

Doctors would recommend this test to women entering menopause and/or women experiencing symptoms such as:

Weight gain
Hot flushes
Joint pain

Testing may also be recommended if you:

Have symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
Are being treated for certain types of ovarian cancer

HOW?

This sample kit contains a finger-prick blood collection device, along with clear instructions. Samples collected at home are couriered to and tested at the BioSmart accredited pathology laboratory for levels of AMH.

Your AMH health report will come in an easy-to-understand format with a detailed explanation of results, what they mean and your next steps.
