The AMH test is far more accurate than the FSH test, which will hopefully lead to more accurate readings of ovarian reserve. Based on the results and individual cases, further testing may be needed. The results show a relative potential for conception based on ovarian reserve, and western/eastern medicine alike can't impact change on this aspect of fertiltiy. So, do they diagnose vs screen? I'm not sure. I recommend fertility TCM for any women with irregular cycles who may be trying to conceive, or who are older. It will help to regulate ovulation and improve egg quality.

Fascinating. Just one question... Are the FSH/AMH/Inhibin B screening tests, or are they diagnostic in nature? It seems to me that they would be a screen, givin the high false positive rate (kind of like First and Second Trimester Screening in pregnancy). Also, would you recommend TCM for all women trying to conceive, regardless of fertility issues? Yay talking shop! Lots of love and blessings to you! Sky Thanks for this info, Erin. Fascinating.
