Evidence check: Fertility Check | Fruchtbarkeits-Test in the context of Abnehmen

A fertility test (e.g., AMH, FSH, LH) is primarily a tool for assessing ovarian reserve and reproductive capacity – not for weight loss. However, there is an indirect link: overweight and obesity can impair fertility (e.g., via insulin resistance, PCOS). Weight loss may improve fertility parameters. The test itself does not help with weight loss, but it can serve as motivation to change lifestyle. The evidence for using a fertility test in the context of weight loss is weak – it is a practice recommendation, not a strategy backed by studies. Caveat: A normal fertility test does not rule out weight-related fertility issues; conversely, weight loss does not guarantee improved fertility. Consult a specialist if you have both weight concerns and a desire to conceive.
