Another Blood Test
You can request an AMH - Anti Mullerian Hormone test. It is a red tiger top tube. They have to use frozen serum. And then do the test. It can be taken at any point of your cycle, not like FSH which has to be drawn on cd 2 or 3. FSH flucuates month to month, this AMH test determines your ovarian reserve to determine the remaining number of fertile years a woman has or may predict ovarian reserve prior to IVF treatment.
You should only have to take the test once.
I still have not gotten my results yet, mine was drawn on Nov. 30. But you be able to get the results in less than a week.
I hope this helps.

Good luck
