Several tests are required for egg freezing, with the first one being the AMH test.

What does that mean?

An AMH test is a blood test to determine how many eggs remain in the ovaries.

A high AMH value indicates that there are still many follicles in the ovaries that will grow in the future, while a low value indicates that the number of follicles is decreasing.

A low AMH value means that the number of follicles is decreasing. The test is used as a guideline to determine the reserve capacity of ovarian function, and to predict whether the ovulation period will be long or short (the older a woman gets, the shorter the ovulation period becomes).

Based on the results of this test, a plan for egg freezing is discussed with the doctor.

Recently, more and more people in their late 20s and 30s are having their eggs frozen for life planning purposes, , regardless of whether or not they plan to use them. Incidentally, I had this test twice before, when I was 29 and 31 years old, so I had some understanding of my ovarian age.

Note: AMH is only an indication of the number of eggs, not the quality of the eggs. A low AMH has nothing to do with whether you are infertile or not; it simply indicates a low egg count. Some people have a low AMH and conceive naturally, while many others have a high AMH but struggle to conceive.
