What a high result can mean
PCOS
The commonest reason for a high AMH — many small follicles.
Younger age
AMH naturally falls with age, so higher is expected when younger.
Ovarian tumours
Rare, and usually with other findings.
What a low result can mean
Age
The normal and expected reason — AMH declines from the mid-thirties.
Diminished ovarian reserve
Fewer eggs remaining than expected for age.
Previous ovarian surgery
Including cyst removal.
Chemotherapy or radiotherapy
Some hormonal contraceptives
Can suppress the reading modestly.

What happens next
AMH is most useful alongside a pelvic ultrasound counting antral follicles, and — if you are trying to conceive — a semen analysis for your partner. Testing only one side of a couple wastes months.
