Offer AMH blood tests to patients 30+ establishing a fertility baseline.

The Issue

According to the American Pregnancy Organization, 6,000,000 women deal with infertility issues each year. As more and more women delay marriage and childbearing, this number is likely to increase. They may hope to have a family "some day" but since they are not "actively trying" do not have an accurate picture of their fertility status. Gynecologists can easily provide their patients with the means to track their fertility. The Anti-Mullerian Hormone test is a simple blood test that measures the quantity and quality of a woman's ovulation counts. Administered annually, say during her annual Pap Smear, would chart a "hopeful" mom's fertility over-time. Armed with this information, patients can make informed life and health decisions (say establishing an egg bank with a fertility clinic).
