Myths vs facts: Fertility Check | Fruchtbarkeits-Test and Wechseljahre

Fertility Check and Fruchtbarkeits-Test products often market themselves as windows into reproductive health, but the evidence behind them is limited. A common myth is that measuring AMH (anti-Müllerian hormone) can accurately predict fertility or the exact timing of menopause. In reality, AMH reflects ovarian reserve, not egg quality or pregnancy likelihood. Menopause is a natural transition, not a disease – tests cannot reverse symptoms like hot flashes or irregular cycles. Many online claims exaggerate what these tests can do. Fact: No home test replaces a clinical workup for infertility or premature menopause. The evidence is mostly mechanistic or based on small observational studies. If you have specific concerns, see a gynecologist or endocrinologist.
