Does the Anti-Müllerian hormone measure egg quality?

No. The antimüllerian hormone (or AMH) is an excellent marker of ovarian reserve, which means that it provides information about the number of eggs in a woman's ovaries at a given time. When AMH levels are between 0.7 and 3 ng/mL, ovarian reserve is considered normal. In contrast, if antimüllerian levels in the blood are below 0.7 ng/mL, ovarian reserve would be diminished. In this way, AMH provides information about the number of eggs, about the ovarian reserve, but not about their quality.
