Fertell makes one, as well as many other companies, it is somewhat expensive. It is done on cycle day 3. It tests the FSH levels in your urine. If you are concerned about your fertility, I suggest you see your primary care or OB/GYN, have a serum one done. Blood testing is more reliable. Some insurances will cover the testing.

You LSH and you FSH can tell you about your eggs. If they are good or not or if they wont be strong enough. Or what is going on with them. That lets your doctor know what he or she needs to do!

In order to get pregnant several things have to be OK
1. His sperms
2. Your tubes
3. Your eggs
The quality of the eggs is very important and the FSH is among the first tests done in infertility testing. FSH in your blood tests for the egg quality. The higher the FSH on Cycle day 3 the worse the quality of your eggs.
