Should You Test Your Fertility?
Dr. Natalie Crawford discusses testing your fertility and if and when it's something that you should do. She explains the different types of fertility testing including testing of ovarian reserve like AMH levels, anatomy like HSG tests of the fallopian tubes and uterus, and semen analysis for male partners. She also discusses how fertility and chances of pregnancy decline with age and the implications for family planning and choices around fertility preservation. Women should be informed about their fertility earlier so they can make the best decisions for their family goals and timeline. The episode aims to help women understand their bodies and fertility so they can advocate for themselves.
