Fertility Annual Summary, Key Numbers to Assess Your Fertility Readiness for the Golden Horse Year 2026

The Golden Horse Year has begun!

Beyond your annual checklist for career goals, health plans, or travel dreams, here’s one important item many couples overlook — your fertility readiness

If you’re planning to welcome a little one in 2026, these 5 key fertility numbers are worth checking early.

5 Key Numbers to Know Before Planning for Pregnancy

1. AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone)

AMH reflects a woman’s remaining egg reserve.

Doctors assess AMH Hormone together with age to guide family planning — whether you are planning to conceive, considering treatment options, or exploring alternatives such as Egg Freezing.

2. Antral Follicle Count (AFC)

An ultrasound performed at the beginning of the menstrual cycle to count small follicles ready to develop.

An appropriate number of follicles is associated with better pregnancy potential and helps doctors evaluate ovarian readiness and tailor a suitable treatment plan for each individual.

3. Semen Analysis (Sperm Count and Quality)

Fertility is a shared journey. For men, semen analysis evaluates sperm count, movement, and shape. Healthy sperm plays an important role in embryo development and implantation.

4. Body Weight and Body Mass Index (BMI)

Being underweight or overweight may affect hormonal balance. For pregnancy planning, doctors generally recommend maintaining a BMI between 18.5 - 23.0 to support overall reproductive health and reduce potential pregnancy-related risks.

5. Average Menstrual Cycle Length

A regular menstrual cycle (approximately 28–35 days) is a basic sign of ovulation and balanced hormonal function.

If cycles are irregular, doctors may recommend further evaluation to identify underlying causes and plan appropriate care.

These numbers should be viewed together, not individually.

Doctors assess fertility readiness by considering age, hormones, overall health, and lifestyle as a whole — helping couples plan their journey to parenthood more accurately and confidently.
