Fertility is an essential part of reproductive health, yet many couples delay fertility testing until they face difficulty conceiving. At KYC Know Your Count, we believe that understanding your fertility numbers early empowers you to make informed decisions about your future. Whether you are planning a pregnancy now or in the future, knowing your fertility count is the first step toward reproductive confidence.
What Does “Know Your Count” Mean?
“Know Your Count” refers to understanding key fertility indicators in both men and women. These indicators help fertility specialists evaluate reproductive health and identify potential challenges early.
For women, fertility testing focuses on:
-
AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone): Measures ovarian reserve
-
Antral Follicle Count (AFC): Determines egg quantity via ultrasound
-
FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone): Assesses ovarian function
-
Ovulation tracking: Confirms regular egg release
For men, fertility testing typically includes:
-
Semen analysis: Evaluates sperm count, motility, and morphology
-
Hormone testing: Checks testosterone and other hormone levels
-
Sperm DNA fragmentation test: Assesses sperm quality
Knowing these values helps identify fertility potential and guides treatment if necessary.
Why Fertility Testing Is Important
Many people assume fertility problems only become relevant when pregnancy fails after months of trying. However, fertility naturally declines with age, and early testing offers significant advantages.
Key benefits of early fertility testing:
-
Detects fertility issues before they worsen
-
Improves chances of natural conception
-
Helps plan fertility treatments like IVF if needed
-
Reduces emotional stress and uncertainty
-
Supports proactive reproductive planning
At KYC Know Your Count, we encourage testing even if you are not actively trying to conceive.
Signs You Should Consider Fertility Testing
While anyone can benefit from fertility testing, certain signs indicate it may be especially important.
For women:
-
Irregular or missed periods
-
Age above 30 and planning pregnancy
-
History of PCOS or endometriosis
-
Previous miscarriages
-
Difficulty conceiving after 6–12 months
For men:
-
Low sperm count in previous tests
-
Erectile or ejaculation issues
-
History of testicular injury or surgery
-
Hormonal imbalances
-
Lifestyle risk factors such as smoking or stress
Early evaluation helps prevent delays in treatment.
Understanding Fertility Decline with Age
Age is one of the most significant factors affecting fertility.
Female fertility timeline:
-
Peak fertility: Ages 20–30
-
Gradual decline: Ages 30–35
-
Faster decline: After age 35
-
Significant decline: After age 40
Male fertility timeline:
Male fertility declines more gradually, but sperm quality decreases with age, affecting pregnancy success and increasing risks.
Knowing your count helps you make timely decisions.
