Direct-to-consumer fertility test

A home or mail-order test bought without a doctor's involvement.

Testing

Home AMH kits, mail-in sperm tests and hormone panels are widely advertised. They can be a prompt to seek proper assessment, but results come without clinical interpretation, methods vary, and a reassuring or alarming number can be misleading. Discuss any result with your GP before acting on it.

Also known as: home fertility test, at-home AMH test, mail-in sperm test
