Expanded AMH Hormone Profile

You should get an expanded AMH hormone profile if you have difficulty conceiving, irregular or absent periods, or symptoms of PCOS such as acne or excess hair growth. It is also recommended before IVF or egg freezing, for women over 35 planning pregnancy, after ovarian surgery or chemotherapy, and for suspected early menopause.

No fasting is required for an expanded AMH hormone profile. Since it includes FSH, LH, and estradiol, give your sample on days 2–5 of your menstrual cycle, preferably in the morning after resting briefly. Inform your doctor about oral contraceptives, hormone therapy, or fertility medicines, and stop biotin supplements 48–72 hours beforehand.

No, fasting is not required for an expanded AMH hormone profile. You can eat and drink normally before giving your sample. However, timing matters: the test is usually done on days 2–5 of the menstrual cycle, preferably in the morning, because it includes FSH, LH, and estradiol. Stop biotin supplements 48–72 hours beforehand.
