In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a process to treat infertility by fertilizing ovum with sperm outside the womb. A test tube baby is a baby successfully comes to this world as the result of IVF treatment. However how does one woman know if she should pursue IVF treatment?
IVF Australia will be introducing a new blood test to measure how many eggs a woman have left. The test measures anti-mullerian hormone (AMH), a specific hormone found in woman’s ovaries, to know the remaining amount of eggs available. AMH test is dubbed as “egg timer”.
The test allows a woman to make decision if they want baby in a natural way, IVF treatment or adoption. Women who wish to sell eggs can also use the same test to do proper egg planning. According to medical director of IVF Australia, Assistant Professor Peter Illingworth, the test will be introduced next month and it costs $65 per test.
If you have enough eggs for fertilization and you are not pregnant, you should test the strength of your husband’s sperms with Sperm Efficiency Kit.
