My doctor suggested checking my egg quality before we start trying to conceive. How does one check egg quality for pregnancy, and what tests are usually involved? I want to be prepared.
Well, they usually check hormone levels like AMH or do an ultrasound. Honestly, I didn't even know about egg quality until I ended up with twins, so definitely let your doctor guide you!
When we were trying, my doctor checked my AMH levels and thyroid to get an idea of my ovarian reserve. Be gentle with yourself, eat healthy, and trust your doctor's advice.
There isn't a direct test for quality, only quantity through AMH and scans. In my 3rd trimester, I'm just glad I don't have to worry about those fertility tests anymore, haha! Talk to your doc.
Egg quality can't be directly tested, but doctors usually check AMH hormone levels and do an antral follicle count scan. It is best to consult an obstetrician for a proper fertility evaluation.
You can get blood tests like AMH and an ultrasound done to check your ovarian reserve, but these tests can be a bit costly. Plan your budget and talk to your doctor to see which tests are actually necessary first.
