The level rises during puberty and peaks in the late 20s and early 30s. After 30s, the level of AMH reduces. AMH test is not a substitute for the ovarian reserve test. It is a good supplementary test but not to be used alone. This test is more popular in infertility treatments as it helps to find the age at which a woman can conceive naturally.
