Are your trying to conceive?🤰

Did you know infertility affects 1 in 6 Australian couples of reproductive age. With multiple reasons as to why this is happening. We find blood work can give some huge clues 🕵🏼‍♂️

Have you looked at these blood markers?

🔬Homocysteine - a marker of cellular health. If your cells aren’t happy, your reproductive health and egg health might not be at their optimal to conceive

🔬Fasting insulin and Hba1c - Metabolic health. Keeping it simple it could indicate how well you can or cannot keep your sugar levels balanced and how efficiently your cells can use glucose. Unbalanced sugar level can have all sorts of issues on women trying to conceive

🔬Fully thyroids - even if you can’t get a full panel. A TSH above >2.5 begins to show and issues with the thyroid.

🔬Vitamin D status - Low vitamin D status <80. Having low status has been shown to negatively impact fertility for both men and women as well as increase chances of miscarriage

🔬FSH: LH ratio - Ideally should be a 1:1 ratio. If Lh climbs to fast it can see you egg health change in a non favourable manner and delay ovulation , create irregular cycles or stunt ovulation
