"Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) is often called the "egg timer" test. While a normal level is good, a number that is "too high" can be a signal of PCOS."
High AMH means you have many small, stalled follicles that struggle to mature and release an egg. This diagnostic clue is vital when seen alongside irregular cycles or hormonal acne.
Specialists look at AMH differently than generalists. It's not just about the number of eggs but the clinical context of your symptoms using protocols like the Rotterdam Criteria.
High AMH is often correlated with delayed ovulation, androgen excess, and insulin resistance.
Why AMH Matters
- Irregular Ovulation High AMH is strongly correlated with delayed or absent ovulation.
- Hormonal Imbalance The stalled follicles can produce excess androgens leading to facial hair or acne.
- Metabolic Health High AMH in PCOS often overlaps with insulin resistance.
