Testing early widens your options
Finding a problem before you start means you can treat it first. The real benefit is the time you do not lose.
If screening finds something, you can treat it before you start. If it shows natural conception is unlikely, you move to treatment sooner. Either way what you gain is time — and since a life plan is a race against time, that is the whole point.

Get screened around marriage or before you start trying. We explain how to read each result on the panel page.
