All Women Over 30 Advised To Have An Annual Fertility Body Clock Test, UK

Fertility expert Professor Richard Flemming from Glasgow and Fetal Medicine Consultant Dr Bryan Beattie advised all women over 30 at a packed seminar at the Fertility Show in London on Friday 6th November to check their fertility by having a Body Clock Test based on a blood test (AMH) and an ovarian scan.


They said that with nearly 20% of women leaving it until after 35 to start trying for a baby, many have left it too late even with help from treatments like IVF. High profile celebrities leaving it late to have a baby have lulled many women into a false sense of security who are then bitterly diasappointed when things don't work out as planned. Each woman's ovarian reserve deteriorates at a different rate and without the test there is no way to know how long she has left.


Those with low ovarian reserve should start trying soon or if the time is not right should consider freezing their eggs.


Although in the past success rates from freezing were poor, a new technique called vitrification prevents ice crystal damage during the freezing process by drying out the eggs before they are frozen so that most eggs can be successfully thawed out when needed.


A network of centres has been set up to make it easy for all women in the UK to access the test which costs just ??350. A single central phone number 0345 2303386 and single website ukbodyclock provides easy acess for information and bookings.
