If you’re reading this section of my website, then you’re interested in your fertility and I applaud you for it.

I believe every woman should be aware of the factors that affect her fertility and it’s not as simple as you may think. A woman’s fertility is not just dependent on how many eggs she has, but even more so on the quality of those eggs. There is no one accurate fertility test or way for assessing egg quality. By far the most reliable predictor of how well an egg will perform in going on to create a pregnancy, is the age of the woman it belongs to. Therefore, correctly assessing how “fertile” you are is difficult and the older you are, the more caution that needs to be taken when basing any lifestyle choice on attempting to do so.

If you’re concerned about your fertility, or trying to work out when you will fit starting a family in to the timeline of your busy and complex life, then let’s chat! Together we can look at how we might assess your fertility using various fertility tests and factors such as the AMH test, your antral follicle count and your age. Based on these things, we can look at the best available data to predict your chances of conceiving a pregnancy now and how this may change with time. We can then discuss your options and empower you with the knowledge to make decisions that will be a fit best for you now, and in the future.
