Babystart FertilCheck Female Fertility Test

The Babystart FertilCheck Female Fertility screening test for women measures the sex hormone that is an indicator of a their biological fertility clock. A woman's fertility starts to decline after she reaches the age of 30 and the decline gradually accelerates until she reaches menopause. This reduction in fertility is reflected in a similar gradual increase in the hormone FSH (follicle stimulating hormone). Rising levels of FSH tend to be associated with reduced fertility. The FSH hormone can also be raised in women with irregular periods and, without doubt, will steadily rise as a woman gets older. As menopause approaches the levels get particularly high and act as an early warning system for peri-menopause. The Babystart FertilCheck Female Fertility home diagnostic screening test is a rapid test of FSH concentration in urine. The kit contains two ECOstrip Female Fertility tests, and if both test results are positive it is an indicator of reduced fertility. The test is greater than 99% accurate.
