How can i find out how many eggs i have left?

Their role is fundamental in supporting well-functioning female reproductive health. 70% of Spanish women do not know that there is a measuring indicator through which you can find out the number of functioning eggs you have.

It is an accepted fact that women are putting off maternity until much later.

Moreover, the average age for having the first child in Spain is 31, according to the latest data offered by the 2018 Fertility Survey of the NSI (National Statistics Institute). In 1975, the average age was 25.2. Among the basic reasons for this delay are, above all, not having found the right partner, the inability to reconcile work and family, or economic factors. Because of this, when women try to get pregnant, their body is not as well prepared as when they were in their twenties. “The fact is that, as far as fertility is concerned, your 40s are not the new 30s”.

How can I find out how many eggs I have left?

There are various techniques or measuring indicators that allow us to find out the state of the woman’s ovarian reserve, for example, through an ultrasound scan to find out the number of antral follicles or through measuring the Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), which is a substance secreted by the ovarian follicles. The AMH, together with the utrasound examination of the antral follicles, gives us trustworthy knowledge of the state of the ovarian reserve, because it can give us a good estimate of the number of eggs the woman has. So they are indicators not only of the fertility but also the time remaining before the onset of the menopause.
