Find out whether your fertility has passed its peak

A new test goes on sale today in the shops, which will tell women how fertile they are right now.and for how long that'll last. The Plan Ahead test costs £179 and requires you to take a sample of blood, and then send it off to a lab. The blood is tested for levels of three hormones, the combination of which not only indicates your current fertility, but which can be plotted to see how long you'll be fertile for.

Fertility expert, Professor Bill Ledger, who created the test says; 'If having family is the most important thing, you're best trying to have babies when you're in your twenties - there's no question that the longer you delay, the bigger your chance of heartbreak. But I think the reality of modern life is that women in the Western world, for all sorts of good reasons, are putting off starting a family until they are in their thirties.

'There is more research going on but this is good enough to do what it says it does - give people a two-year warning that their ovarian reserve is declining.'
