When to get a fertility test?

Have you been thinking about your fertility, and wondering if you should get a test? There are plenty of fertility test makers now, and they'd all like you to pay to take a kit. However, a fertility test is not always your best or most cost-effective option. Here are just a few possible reasons why:

• If you're in your 20s, it's best to wait at least six months before taking a test. Usually, studies note that you should even wait up to a whole year before taking a fertility test.

• If you're in your 30s you might want to take a test sooner than after a year has passed; especially if you've been trying to become pregnant with no success for a good long while.

• If you take a fertility test that's hormone inhibin-B based it may be less accurate because your current hormone levels will change from year to year as you age, so it's not the best future fertility predictor.

Talk to your health care provider about all your options. Make sure that you're not stressed, smoking, drinking, and make sure that you're healthy before jumping to fertility tests. You could be making a simple health error, such as weighing too much or too little, or you may be with a partner who should make some lifestyle changes. Any guy can make poor choices that affect his fertility without even realizing it.
