Modern Fertility Reviews

Modern Fertility is a company that aims to make fertility testing more accessible and affordable. Its goal is to make it easy for every woman to have access to their fertility information in terms they can understand. This helps women take charge of their family planning and better understand their overall health.

The company conducted its own clinical study with 130 women who took the test and found it very accurate. Using minimally invasive testing, the levels of tested hormones in the test subject’s kits were found to be the same as the levels tested using traditional blood-drawing techniques. The results were published in a journal reviewed by the New England Journal of Medicine.

Modern Fertility uses the fingerstick method — you prick your finger, add blood to the filter paper and send the paper back to the lab. This bypasses the need to make appointments and the inconvenience and lost time of traveling to a clinic. Being able to perform the test yourself makes checking your fertility hormones more accessible. Since there are fewer medical professionals involved, it is also a less expensive option.

A fertility hormone test informs you of several health considerations. The test tells you:

• If you have more or fewer eggs than average, which gives you a more accurate family planning timeline.
• If you will experience menopause sooner or later than average, which also helps with family planning.
• How your hormones affect your general health, such as your thyroid levels.
• Hormone information for better polycystic ovary syndrome management.

Your test is customized based on whether you are taking hormonal birth control. Depending on your birth control, your test examines between two and eight hormones.

Two physicians review your results to ensure they're accurate. You then receive personal reports with detailed hormone levels, which lets you have a more informed dialogue with your doctor. You can consult one-on-one with a fertility nurse or join Modern Fertility's weekly seminars.  You also receive access to the community that the company has built for support and answers to questions.

Modern Fertility also offers an ovulation test, a pregnancy test and will soon provide a free app that helps track your two most fertile days. The app helps track ovulation and shows the best time to perform your fertility hormone test.

Modern Fertility pricing depends on whether you purchase the full hormone test or one of the company's more basic tests. The cost ranges from $14 to $159. It's important to note that Modern Fertility does not accept insurance as payment for their tests. It does, however, accept FSA/HSA cards.

Modern Fertility offers a service that many women need but often have difficulty accessing. Clinical fertility testing is a costly process, and finding a fertility clinic isn't always easy. Modern Fertility helps women become informed about their bodies in a much more accessible way and at a much more reasonable cost. Even though the service isn't covered by insurance, it still saves women hundreds of dollars. If you need fertility testing for family planning or your general health, we recommend Modern Fertility.
