Hormone Test

I was really scared to take this test because fertility is something I think a lot about as a single 27 year old starting a new career. I started attending Modern Fertility events this past summer and was shocked by how little I know about my fertility (and especially about my eggs!). The events were a great forum to ask a ton of questions and made me start thinking about what I can do to inform myself and take necessary steps since it may be many years before I have children. After a lot of thought and conversations with friends, I decided to take the test. I was very appreciative of the information emails leading up to the test that helped me mentally prepare. The blood test was very simple and straight-forward and the tutorial video was super helpful. I received the results within two weeks time (with a warning email so again I could mentally prepare). The results included a lot of useful information which helped me understand what the results actually meant. Although I realize I may need more testing in the future, the test definitely put me more at ease knowing more about my fertility and setting me up to think further about further conversations I need to have / steps I need to take at this time. I will definitely be using this test in the future to keep up to date on any changes as they recommend. Overall, I feel like Modern Fertility has equipped me with the knowledge and information to make more informed decisions related to fertility over the next five to ten years. The community has been great and I definitely plan to stay connected.

This was a product my friend told me about and because my husband and were beginning to plan for kids, I though this would be a very easy and inexpensive way to do a check to see if there are any reasons that we may not easily conceive. The test itself was very simple to do with easy instructions. I would caution that I didn't let my sample dry long enough and they weren't able to process my test results the first time I tried. But, the team was so helpful and sent me a new test at no cost to try again. My second try worked and I had my results in no time. I would recommend this product to anyone. You don't have to currently be trying to get pregnant for the results to be beneficial. It was a great opportunity to learn more about how my body and my cycle works. Great service and everyone was very friendly! The results were informative and easy to understand with a simple website and easy access to education and medical experts.

The amount of blood that is required for this test is insane. They make you think that it will just be a few quick drops but that wasn't the case for me. The instructions give some tips for how to get blood flowing like running your hands under warm water and being very well hydrated. I tried all these things but the lancets (you only get four) don't prick deep enough to get a substantial amount of blood. I was squeezing my finger for forty minutes until it was white trying to get more out, and I still didn't have enough. I bought this because I thought it would be less stressful than going to the doctor, but it would have been so much easier and cheaper if I had just gone in for a traditional blood draw. Of course, my results came back "not enough blood for results" with no option for a do-over. Complete waste of $180. I feel like I got Elizabeth Holmes'd

As I enter my 30s, the specter of my "fertility" has loomed in the back of my mind, and as someone who isn't planning on having kids in the next couple of years, I get increasingly anxious about pushing my biology too far. Up until Modern Fertility, I also just assumed that I would learn about potential fertility challenges well...when they happened. But this easy, at-home kit will allow me to start the conversation with my doctor earlier and with a simple blood test that I did at home with easy-to-read, online results in a dashboard. To be clear, Modern Fertility does not tell you whether or not you will be able to get pregnant, but they test a wide variety of hormones (the panel of which depends on what type of contraceptive you use) that help paint a picture of what might impact your fertility. The kit comes with easy to follow instructions with a link to youtube tutorial for those who want additional guidance. The test consists of a simple finger prick, a card to collect your blood sample and a ready-to-mail envelope. Warning, it you are queasy with blood at all, consider enlisting a friend to help prick your finger and direct your finger to the card to gather your sample! After mailing my sample in, I received my results in an online dashboard about 10 days later. If you have slightly low to low results like I did, receiving the results alone can be a bit overwhelming. Modern Fertility has a comprehensive blog and FAQ section to help you learn a bit more about your results before you bring them to a doctor for a larger conversation about your fertility. Modern Fertility also emails you about a webinar where you can ask questions anonymously and learn more about your specific results. I found the webinar super helpful in calming some of my fears about my results. I am looking forward to taking these results to my doctor to help start the conversation about family planning way earlier than I would have otherwise! Knowledge is power!

So, I'm in my 30s and in a relationship where having children is a subject of talk constantly. I would like to have kids in the next 3 years and my little sister was talking about having her eggs frozen for the future and she's got plenty of time. This started making me wonder what my time line is. I heard about Modern Fertility through a friend and thought "I'm curious, but not fertility clinic curious." The process itself is super easy from ordering to doing the actual testing (you do have to pick yourself for a blood sample, so be prepared or have someone with you that can help if you're squimish). My kit came with 2 test slides, so you may have to pick yourself more than once to really get enough blood sample. I really appreciated the step by step video and how succinct it was. I answered simple questions that were all digital which didn't seem so dragging. If you still had any questions, the team at Modern Fertility is always available to answer any questions and walk me through the process (I did my test well into the evening). I've had friends who have gone to a clinic and this was way more affordable plus, I did this in the comfort of my own home. I haven't gotten my results, because I just sent it in, but I'll definitely be updating this review when the results are in because the test comes with fertility nurse consultation and educational webinars if you wanted more education or to get your questions answered.

I liked the home Fertility test. I had difficulty pricking my finger and getting enough blood out but customer service quickly switched me over to Quest center and I was able to have my blood drawn there for FREE!! That's what worked best for me. I'm looking forward to my results and appreciated the ability to do this at my convenience. I would reccomend this test to any couple who was TTC or just want to know there fertility levels.

My husband and I have always wanted kids but have been waiting for a few job/life milestones to happen. We want to start trying soon, and it's too early to go see a doctor about anything, but I really wanted to get a read on where my fertility stands. This test was super easy to order and came straight to my house. I was able to take the test at home following their directions and it was so much easier than trying to get a doctor's appointment and going to a lab. The customer service was also really responsive when I had questions about timing around my period and the test. Emails kept me updated with the status of my test and I was able to see my results in my online account. I thought the visualizations and explanations were really terrific. They went into a lot of depth about ovarian reserve, egg freezing, even menopause, and some general health stuff. I especially liked that they explain a lot of the bigger picture concepts so I could put my results in context. The test also comes with a webinar and nurse consult if we wanted to ask questions and get live answers, but honestly, I got so much information from the report it wasn't very necessary.

This test is something I really thought about for about 6 months. I'm in my early 30's, but it will be a few years before I am ready to start trying for children. I was curious about my fertility, so I decided to finally take the plunge and just order it. The test was fairly easy to do. One thing I didn't realize though prior to taking the test was that because I am on birth control, only my AMH level could be tested. I didn't know that until I had sent my results back and was reading through the posts of the support group. Unfortunately my results weren't too great, but this was the starter for me to talk to my OBGYN about possible issues. I don't regret purchasing this test at all, but I do wish I had known about the effects that birth control can have on the results. After speaking with my OBGYN, I have stopped my birth control for the next 6 weeks and will do more testing with my OB. I would suggest going off birth control before doing this test.
