   Thanks for the feedback on the AMH language. We are always trying to find the best way to simplify the science. In regards to AMH, great question! AMH is known by the clinical community as the best marker for ovarian reserve. I know everyon

   We are working on it! No matter what age you are, the tests are the same. We worked super hard to have age specific content for the range of 21-40 but are excited to expand this. Women need information about fertility through their entire l

    Thanks! Totally agree- this was my exact experience (billed $1500). Today, women typically get these tests when they are having issues and we are making them available to women before they start trying to conceive. There are only ~500 infer
