Fertility Test Cannot Reliably Predict Ability To Conceive A Child, Study Shows

HealthDay (7/29, Thompson) reports, “Women are often being sold a fertility test that paints a misleading picture of their ability to conceive a child, a new study warns.” While the “anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) test uses a blood sample to estimate the number of eggs available in the ovaries of adult women,” the test “doesn’t judge the quality of those eggs” and “cannot reliably predict a woman’s chances of conceiving or their approaching age of menopause.” The findings were published in Human Reproduction.
