Fertility test lets women know how much time is left on biological clock

A FERTILITY test designed to help women decide how long they can afford to put off having children was launched yesterday.

The Plan Ahead kit assesses the number of eggs in a woman's ovaries compared with the levels expected for others of the same age.

The test can predict the ovarian reserve for the following two years, meaning women can make an informed decision as to whether, or how long, they can potentially delay trying to conceive.
