Episode notes
Don't Base Fertility Choices On Home Hormone Tests
- Avoid relying only on at-home hormone test kits for fertility decisions.
- Use home tests to gather data but follow up with a scan or clinic consultation to interpret AMH and ovarian reserve properly.
Host's Egg Freezing Tests Were Emotionally Draining
- Faye admits being an anxious patient who needed in-person explanation during testing.
- She found clinic support crucial during egg-freezing tests because seeing results alone provoked spiralling anxiety.
Save Money Skip Seed Cycling Kits
- Skip buying seed cycling kits marketed for fertility and use plain seeds instead.
- Crushing flax or buying generic seeds is cheaper and just as practical as paying for branded kits with no supporting evidence.
