Hormone test can measure egg reserves

By Hot Flash

The Daily Telegraph reports that Australian scientists have developed an easy blood test to determine the number of eggs a woman has left

The test measures  the concentration of a specific hormone found in a woman’s ovaries called anti-mullerian hormone (AMH). A low AMH level indicates a low egg reserve. 

It will be available in Australia next month for AUD $65. 

How it would actually predict menopause is not exactly clear.
