I’m talking about fertility here and the very natural desire to try and regulate when you have a baby. As more women are carrying their careers on alongside having families, and even more are delaying starting a family, you would think that the latest development in menopause detection would be very welcome.
And on some levels of course it is, but this blood test can tell a woman as young as 20 how long she has left to start a family and would predict when a woman will go through menopause to within four months. The kit, which could be on sale in three years, is in my view the traditional two edged sword. For one thing, it is never wise to rely onehundred percent on any test to tell you something as critical and important as whether or not you still have time to start your family.
