Episode notes
Born With A Finite Egg Supply
- You are born with all the eggs you'll ever have and lose most before puberty.
- Egg quality, not just quantity, limits fertility as we age.
Monthly Output Mirrors Reserve
- The monthly number of available eggs reflects how many remain overall in your ovaries.
- Fewer eggs in the vault means fewer eggs come out each month and slower loss over time.
Combine AMH And AFC Tests
- Use both AMH blood tests and antral follicle counts (AFC) for a clearer ovarian reserve picture.
- AMH gives a short-term average while AFC is a one-time snapshot, so combine them.
