Women should assess their ovarian reserve through AMH blood tests and antral follicle counts to understand their fertility status.

“if you are a woman who is in her 20s or 30s or 40s, whatever your age, if you are interested in conceiving in the future, it's very likely a good idea to go to your OB/GYN and get either your AMH levels measured or your follicle count measured and to do that several times in a given period.”

Young women should be proactively screened for PCOS and endometriosis and have their egg count checked to avoid preventable future fertility crises.

“If every 20-year-old in this country would go through my office once at age 20, I would shut down these fertility clinics. Because where do these patients end up? In fertility clinics.”

It is important for women to investigate menstrual irregularities in their teens or twenties to address potential fertility issues well in advance.

“Getting this looked at now is a great way to get ahead of an infertility problem 10 years hence.”

A woman's menstrual cycles serve as a valuable marker for general health, and irregularities should be investigated well before a woman plans to conceive.

“Your periods are also a marker. Don't wait till you're ready to try to get pregnant to figure that out. You know, there may be something important you need to know way ahead of time.”
