What to watch with Fertility Check and stress?

The Fertility Check (typically AMH) measures ovarian reserve – the number of remaining eggs – but not fertility itself. Stress can disrupt hormonal balance via cortisol, potentially inhibiting ovulation and indirectly affecting AMH levels. However, AMH alone does not reflect current stress load or predict natural conception. Evidence for AMH as a fertility marker is moderate (Cochrane reviews, prospective cohorts), but interpretation requires clinical context. Watch out: a normal AMH does not rule out stress-related fertility issues; conversely, a low AMH does not mean infertility – stress can affect cycle and implantation. Combine the test with a doctor's assessment (hormone panel, cycle tracking) and stress reduction. The test is a screening tool, not a diagnosis. Safety note: no direct risks, but avoid false reassurance or unnecessary anxiety.
