Anti-Mullerian hormone, or AMH, is a useful marker for ovarian reserve in women. AMH can predict a woman’s remaining egg supply and is a test worth considering for any woman who wants a reasonable assessment of her fertility.

👉 Click our link in below to learn more about AMH testing.

And, during the month of April 2026, AMH testing is just $35 at Fertility Answers in observance of National Infertility Awareness Week! Go to our website to request an appointment.

An AMH test can provide valuable information about your fertility. Here are four reasons why this test is worth considering.

A favorite April Fool's social post is to pretend you’re pregnant and then shout, “April Fools”!

Unfortunately, it’s just not funny to a whole lot of people.

For many struggling to conceive or dealing with infertility issues, the joke can be upsetting. Seeing real posts about friends and family who easily get pregnant is hard enough. But seeing others make a joke out of it can hurt those who want more than anything in the world to be pregnant.

So, this April Fool’s Day, think before you post!

🧡 National Infertility Awareness Week is April 19-25, 2026, and what better way to promote FERTILITY AWARENESS than with special pricing on the AMH test! 🧡

During the entire month of April 2026, Fertility Answers will offer this test for $35 (cash pay only). 😊

This easy blood test is worth considering for any woman wanting to know more about her fertility.

AMH stands for Anti-Mullerian hormone and is a hormone made by the ovaries. Because the levels of AMH decline the closer you get to menopause, this test can be an excellent indicator of your remaining egg supply.

What are the key advantages to AMH testing?

👍Convenient – Since it can be drawn during any point during your cycle, either on or off contraception, there’s no need to wait until a certain day to take the test – it can be done at any time!
💯Reliable – AMH is not produced by other cells in the body, and therefore false positives or negatives are of minimal concern.
🎯Accurate – It has been shown to be one of the best predictors of egg reserve.
⏰Informative – What the AMH can tell you in terms of egg supply can help you decide when family building is right for you.

Timely and informed discussion on fertility lowers stress and helps in a couple’s decision-making process. For example, if your AMH is high, you might feel more comfortable waiting to finish an education or start a career before feeling the need to start a family. On the other hand, if you AMH is low, it may lead you down the path of trying to get pregnant sooner or electing to freeze the eggs you have now for later use.

Contact our office today to schedule your $35 AMH test, only available at this cash price during the month of April 2026.

We're wrapping up with our final post.

If you have been diagnosed with endometriosis, you may have heard your doctor categorize your severity of it in stages. Staging is useful for your physician in determining disease burden and management. Knowing the stage of endometriosis helps your doctor in planning treatments, especially if you are seeking to get pregnant.

We were honored Friday to dedicate our OR suite in memory of our beloved nurse, Freida Keller, who passed away in the fall after a courageous battle with cancer.

Freida was a true force in our practice for many years. Her dedication to our patients, her compassion, and the love she showed to everyone around her left a lasting mark on all of us.

To make the occasion even more meaningful, Father Michael Bordelon from St. Barnabas Episcopal Church blessed our IVF suite and lab with holy water and prayer.

We are grateful to honor Freida’s legacy in a space where so many families begin their journey. Her presence is deeply missed, but her spirit will always remain part of this place.

Did you know that about 2% of all babies born in the U.S. are here because of in vitro fertilization? IVF is crucial to our society as a primary treatment for infertility, enabling so many Americans to become parents.

IVF offers real HOPE to individuals, including those experiencing many types of infertility. Oftentimes, IVF is the ONLY viable option for an individual or couple to have a child. IVF provides solutions for blocked fallopian tubes, endometriosis, and male factor infertility.

And, IVF can allow genetic disease prevention when embryos are screened for hereditary diseases like cystic fibrosis. It allows those facing a cancer diagnosis to preserve their fertility for the future. And it can allow women to delay childbearing while they pursue careers or education.

In short, IVF helps builds families. 😊
