The Fertility Check analyzes genetic variants related to fertility, hormone regulation, and stress response. Chronic stress is known to affect the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, potentially disrupting menstrual cycles and sperm quality. However, the test does not measure stress itself but provides insights into genetic predispositions that may influence stress susceptibility when combined with lifestyle factors. Evidence is based on observational and GWAS studies, not clinical diagnostics. The Fertility Check should not replace medical evaluation for fertility issues or stress-related conditions. It can be used as part of a holistic approach to derive personalized recommendations for sleep, nutrition, and stress management. Caution: individual genetic variants typically have small effect sizes and are not deterministic.
