Assessing Infertility in Women: The Physiology to Lab Testing

Presenter: Alison McAllister, ND, ZRT Laboratory

Join ZRT's Dr. Alison McAllister for an informative webinar exploring the physiological and hormonal factors that influence female fertility and the role of laboratory testing in assessing infertility.

In this session, Dr. McAllister examines the complexities of the menstrual cycle, common causes of infertility, and reproductive conditions such as polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS, formerly PCOS). Through clinical case examples, she discusses how reproductive hormone testing, including anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), can contribute to a comprehensive fertility assessment. The presentation also explores conventional and functional approaches to patient evaluation, along with ZRT's Basic and Advanced Fertility Assessment Panels.

In this webinar, you'll learn:

• How menstrual cycle physiology and hormonal changes influence fertility

• Common causes of female infertility, including PMOS, endometriosis, and age-related factors

• The role of AMH and other reproductive hormone markers in fertility assessment

• How to approach fertility cases, interpret laboratory findings, and identify practical considerations for patient care
