Fertility biomarkers
What are they and why do they matter?
What are fertility biomarkers?
Fertility biomarkers are measurable indicators in the body that provide insights into reproductive health. They include hormones, physical characteristics, and other factors that influence fertility. Fertility biomarkers matter because they help assess the health of the reproductive system. Monitoring these indicators can provide crucial information about ovulation, egg quality, and overall fertility, guiding family planning decisions.
What are some common fertility biomarkers?
Common fertility biomarkers include Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH), Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and basal body temperature. These markers offer insights into ovarian reserve, ovulation, and menstrual cycle patterns.
Can fertility biomarkers be tested?
Yes, fertility biomarkers can be tested through blood tests, hormonal assessments, and other diagnostic methods. These tests provide quantitative data that healthcare providers use to evaluate reproductive health. Celery Health has partnered with pathology companies to help facilitate this process for you.
Are fertility biomarkers the same for everyone?
No, fertility biomarkers vary among individuals. Factors such as age, genetics, and overall health can influence these markers. Personalised assessments help tailor fertility guidance based on an individual’s unique profile. For this reason a fertility biomarker, in and of itself, may be unreliable.
Is assessing fertility biomarkers necessary for successful egg freezing?
Assessing fertility biomarkers is an important step in the process of egg freezing. This allows the egg freezing process to be personalised to you maximising its effectiveness. This approach ensures the best possible outcomes, empowering you with informed choices for preserving your fertility
