For many women, fertility can feel like a ticking clock – especially when conversations about egg freezing and fertility testing are becoming more common.
But how much do we really understand about ovarian reserve, egg quality, and the realities of fertility preservation?
In this episode, Dr Peta, Dr Thea and Sam break down what the AMH test (often called the ‘egg timer test’) actually tells you, when egg freezing might be a good option, and why this whole conversation is bigger than just biology.
Listen now to find out:
🍃 What the AMH test measures and why it doesn’t predict your ability to conceive naturally.
🍃 The truth about ovarian reserve and how age, lifestyle, and stress impact fertility.
🍃 How the egg freezing process works – success rates, costs, and key considerations.
🍃 The biggest misconceptions about the pill and fertility (does birth control really preserve your eggs?).
🍃 Why most women who freeze their eggs never use them – and what this tells us about fertility, career, and life choices.
This is a must-listen episode if you’re curious about fertility preservation, feeling anxious about your biological clock, or simply want to make more informed decisions about your reproductive health.
