Hence with this information the woman can make a decision about her pregnancy. The test will soon be available in the private clinics and at the pharmacy.
The scientific community is very happy about this new kit but other experts feel that further research have to be done to ensure the efficiency and accuracy of the kit.
Statistics show that women in the United States are delaying their motherhood and pursuing their careers, thinking that they will still be able to conceive late in their thirties or even early forties.
But the doctors feel that the fertility starts decreasing when a woman reaches the age of 35 years. After this age the woman finds it very difficulty to conceive naturally.
The kit is marketed by Lifestyle Choices. It basically measures three hormone levels in the blood, two from the ovaries (inhibin B and anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH)) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) from the pituitary gland.
