Concerns women make high-stakes fertility decisions based on unreliable test

Key points

• New research led by Flinders University has found that nearly one in five women who took the AMH fertility test received a low result. Among those who repeated the test after a low result, about one-third later received a normal result.
• Testing rose more than 13-fold between 2011 and 2021, according to the researchers. Experts say the test cannot predict whether a woman can get pregnant.
• They warn it can cause anxiety and lead to costly treatment, and say women should seek accurate information from their GP or reliable sources.
