Ovarian reserve test — AMH, with AFC and FSH for context.
Ovarian reserve isn't a 'fertility score' — it's a runway estimate. AMH is the blood marker; antral follicle count (AFC, via ultrasound) is the imaging marker. Together they tell you how much time you likely have.
Her Form draws AMH at home (any cycle day) and pairs it with cycle-day FSH, LH and estradiol. Our health specialists writes up the result in plain English; Robyn is available for an optional 1:1 consult on what to do with the number.
How ovarian reserve testing actually reads
AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone) reflects the pool of small antral follicles in your ovaries. It does not predict whether you can conceive this cycle — it predicts trajectory.
AFC (antral follicle count via transvaginal ultrasound) is the visual counterpart. We don't perform AFC ourselves but we tell you when and where to add it.
FSH on day 2–5 climbs as ovarian reserve falls — a high FSH paired with low AMH points to a shorter runway than either alone.
AMH is reliable on the pill but slightly suppressed (~20%); for fertility-planning purposes we read it alongside your contraceptive context.
When to test
AMH: any cycle day, fasting not required.
Add FSH/LH/estradiol on day 2–5 of your cycle for the cleanest reproductive picture.
If you're considering egg freezing or IVF, also book a pelvic ultrasound for AFC — your fertility clinic will do this as part of intake.

What does AMH actually tell me?+
AMH estimates how many follicles are in your ovarian pool — your remaining 'runway' for fertility, not whether you can conceive this cycle. Low AMH does not mean you can't get pregnant naturally.
What's a normal AMH for my age?+
Rough age-banded normals: 25–29: 2.5–6.8 ng/mL; 30–34: 1.9–5.5; 35–39: 1.0–3.5; 40–44: 0.3–1.7. We always read AMH in context — never as a single number.
Can I test AMH on the pill?+
Yes — AMH is still readable but ~20% suppressed on combined oral contraceptives. For maximum accuracy, retest 2–3 months after stopping if results are borderline.
Do I need an ultrasound too?+
Not for screening. For egg freezing, IVF or active fertility treatment, AFC via ultrasound is standard. We tell you when to add it.
Is a GP referral needed?+
No — Her Form is direct-to-consumer. We send a certified nurse to your home, ship samples to our accredited partner lab, and return results with a written review by our health specialists. Robyn is available for an optional 1:1 consult.
How long until I have my results?+
7–14 working days from draw, including written specialist review. Anything urgent is flagged the same day it lands.
