Fertility Awareness Week: LloydsPharmacy & LetsGetChecked Provide Access To Home Fertility Tests

By: www.LetsGetChecked.com
 
COVENTRY, U.K. - Nov. 2, 2017 - PRLog -- Across the UK, 1 in 7 couples may have difficulty conceiving during their lifetime. This works out to nearly 3.5 million people who will struggle to conceive naturally. For many of us the focus from an early age is solely on contraception and with today's trend of leaving it later in life to start a family, couples are now facing an uphill battle when trying to conceive.

LetsGetChecked home fertility tests provide you with the knowledge and insights to understand your fertility, allowing you to plan accordingly for your future. By providing convenient access to home fertility testing, LetsGetChecked play an incredibly important in one's journey to conceive.

Through LloydsPharmacy you can purchase an Ovarian Reserve test that measures the level of Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) in your blood. This will provide a good indication of the number of eggs you have left and allow you to access one-to-one medical support from the LetsGetChecked medical team.

The Ovarian Reserve test can help indicate your fertility potential, both for the present and the future. If a woman's AMH levels are below what is normal for her age, this indicates that her pregnancy chances are lower than what is expected for her age. With the topic of fertility being such an emotional one, having access to these tests from your local LloydsPharmacy provides you with the opportunity to be more proactive in managing your health.

What Does the Ovarian Reserve Test?

Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) is a hormone secreted by granulosa cells in ovarian follicles.  Abnormally elevated levels of AMH can indicate the presence of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which indicates a problem in which a woman's hormones are out of balance. It can cause problems with your periods and make it difficult to get pregnant.

Who Should Get Tested?

Any woman planning, trying to conceive or considering IVF, should have their Ovarian Reserve tested. We would recommend regular testing, this will allow you plan and make the necessary steps towards increasing your chances of getting pregnant in the future.

When to Get Tested?

This test can be taken on any day of your menstrual cycle. Levels do not fluctuate, making it a reliable measure of your Ovarian reserve.

How Does the Test Work?
