Center for Advanced Reproductive Services at the UConn Health
Center is offering free fertility assessments Saturday, Nov. 23, 9
a.m. to 1 p.m. at its offices in the
Dowling South Building on the Health Center campus.
Participants will complete a brief questionnaire about their
gynecological, obstetrical, fertility and medical history and
undergo a blood draw for an anti-Mullerian hormone test. AMH testing
is considered to be a strong indicator of fertility potential.
Once the result of the AMH blood tests are received (about two
weeks), the Center will follow up with participants with a scheduled
15-minute phone call from a member of the Center’s clinical team to
discuss the questionnaire and AMH results. All this will be at no
cost to the patient.
- The free fertility
assessments open to women 30-42 years old. - Food and drink
will not impact results. - Blood will be
drawn and sent out for testing at no cost to the patient. - Test can be

via phone or website is required. - Participants will
be seen as walk-ins on a first-come, first-served basis.
In today’s society, age-related infertility is becoming more common
because, for a variety of reasons, many women wait until their 30s
to begin their families. Even though women today are healthier and
taking better care of themselves than ever before, improved health
in later life does not offset the natural age-related decline in
fertility. It is important to understand that fertility declines as
a woman ages due to the normal age-related decrease in the number of
eggs that remain in her ovaries. This decline may take place much
sooner than most women expect. This free fertility assessment is
intended to help women better understand where they are on the curve
and better understand the options available to them.
