Why Your Egg Reserve Matters
At Sims IVF, we’re inviting women to take a moment this Easter to reflect on their own fertility and egg count.
Fertility challenges are more common than many think, with one in six couples experiencing difficulties when trying to conceive. Whether you’re considering starting a family soon or simply want to better understand your fertility, being informed is a powerful first step.
Why Your Egg Reserve Matters
Women are born with all the eggs they will ever have. Over time, both the number and quality of these eggs decline - a natural part of aging. That’s why it’s so important to understand your egg (ovarian) reserve, particularly if you're thinking ahead.
What Is the AMH Test?
Sims IVF offers a simple yet effective way to assess your ovarian reserve - the Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) blood test. This test provides a snapshot of how many eggs you may have by measuring the AMH levels in your blood.
Because AMH is produced by cells in developing egg sacs (follicles), it serves as a strong indicator of egg quantity, though not quality. While it doesn’t provide a full fertility picture, it’s considered one of the most reliable tests for evaluating your potential long-term fertility.
AMH levels typically decline with age, so lower levels can indicate a reduced egg reserve. Understanding where you stand can help you make informed choices about your reproductive health so you can better plan for the future.
Planning for the Future Starts Now
Egg freezing and fertility awareness aren’t just options for the distant future, they’re tools for taking control of your reproductive plans today. With simple, early testing and guidance from fertility specialists, you can explore all your options with confidence.
This Easter, take a moment to think about your future - and your eggs. Sims IVF is here to help you make informed, empowered choices about your fertility journey.
