With its emotional toll and financial burden, egg freezing is not for everyone. Instead, Hertility’s at-home test can help you proactively understand your fertility and plan for the future.

Prioritising career progression, living for the moment and choosing to have children in your thirties and beyond is more common than ever before. But, if you’re thinking of starting a family later in life, then, taking care of your reproductive health has never been more important.

While we may be choosing to have babies later in life, our biological clocks keep ticking and experts agree that being mindful of your fertility is important – even if you’re not ready to start a family right away.

Wanting to have it all as a modern woman with a busy lifestyle is nothing short of a balancing act. Looking good and feeling good seems more important than ever, as does having a career and life you love; but are we considering our fertility as part of our vision of a healthy life and what can we do to future-proof our reproductive health?

The answer lies in the science and an at-home Hertility test that can reveal all you need to know in a matter of days.

Female fertility facts

This may come as a surprise, but after the mid-30s a woman’s chance of conceiving dramatically decreases; by 40 there’s believed to be just a 5% chance of getting pregnant naturally. This is mainly due to the decline in the quantity and quality of eggs a woman has, as well as their overall health. Female fertility can also be affected by weight, stress, underlying health conditions and hormonal issues.

Testing your fertility

There are so many factors that can impact fertility, but there are also ways to ensure you’re keeping track of your personal journey when it comes to considering starting a family. Many of us think about testing our egg reserves but in fact fertility is much more than that. That’s why Hertility has created an easy-to-use test to help give an indication of how many eggs you have left (by measuring a hormone called AMH) as well as flagging up any other conditions that could impact fertility. Better yet, you can do it all from the comfort of your own home.

Hertility’s award-winning, government-accredited Hormone and Fertility Test is the most accurate diagnostic tool in female health that gives women clarity into what’s going on in their bodies. 

Currently, in just 10 days, their at-home Hormone and Fertility test can: 

• Assess ovarian reserve and warning signs of infertility
• Get to the bottom of every hormone imbalance
• Screen for up to 18 health conditions that may affect fertility and reproductive health, such as PCOS
  
• Referrals to vetted partner clinics for treatments, such as egg freezing

Who is at-home fertility testing suitable for?

Whether you’re simply curious and want to check in on your fertility for the future or you’re trying to conceive now; Hertility’s Hormone and Fertility Test allows you to get a clear understanding of your reproductive health so you can proactively take control of your fertility journey rather than jump straight into egg freezing or miss the boat entirely. It can also help pinpoint hormonal issues relating to fatigue, hair loss or excessive growth, acne, hot flushes and irregular or missing periods. 

How does the test work?

The in-house experts have analysed specialist guidelines, decades of clinical experience & real-world Hertility customer journeys so far to create a powerful set of questions designed to understand exactly what’s going on in your body and help you plan for the future.

Their algorithm then takes 247 risk factors into account to build your data set & create a hormone panel personalised to you. Think of it like a hormone pick and mix, either selecting or removing targeted hormones at each question to create the exact combination of hormones they need to test you for.

You’ll then receive your easy-to-use at-home blood collection kit in the post and once completed and returned, a women’s health specialist will welcome you to your virtual clinic. They’ll analyse your medical history, your symptoms and your hormone results, before clearly explaining what’s going on and what you can do next.
