What to watch with Fertility Check | Fruchtbarkeits-Test and Sport?

Combining a fertility check with sport requires a nuanced understanding. A typical fertility test (e.g., AMH, FSH, LH, estradiol, progesterone, thyroid markers) assesses ovarian reserve and hormonal balance. Exercise can modulate these markers: moderate aerobic and resistance training improve insulin sensitivity and support hormonal health, while excessive endurance training may disrupt LH/FSH pulsatility, lower AMH, and cause menstrual irregularities. Markers like vitamin D and ferritin (iron) – often included in such tests – are also affected by training load. Importantly, a direct-to-consumer test provides a snapshot, not a diagnosis. Results should be interpreted by a clinician, especially when planning pregnancy. Evidence is moderate: general research on exercise and fertility is robust, but specific consumer test validation is lacking. Safety note: if you have known fertility issues or irregular cycles, consult a doctor before changing your exercise routine.
