Ever wondered why your fertility tests keep coming back "normal" but you're still struggling to conceive? The missing piece might be in the testing details most doctors never share.
I tackle the essential topic of fertility blood testing, providing clarity on when to test, which markers matter most, and how to interpret results for optimal fertility outcomes. From understanding the timing of hormone tests to recognizing the gap between "normal" and "optimal" ranges, this episode delivers crucial information for anyone wanting to take control of their fertility journey.
