Is Fertility Check | Fruchtbarkeits-Test useful for Stress?

A Fertility Check (e.g., measuring hormones like AMH, FSH, LH) can indirectly hint at stress, because chronic stress affects the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis and may alter hormone levels. However, the test is not designed or validated for stress assessment. It does not measure stress hormones (cortisol) and cannot determine stress load on its own. An abnormal hormone level can have many causes – stress is only one possibility. Interpretation should be done by a physician who also considers lifestyle, sleep, nutrition, and psychological factors. Without clinical context and validation for stress, the test's usefulness for this purpose is very limited. Evidence: unclear. Caveat: Not an approved stress diagnostic.
