Infertility, ranked as the 5th highest global disability, affects an estimated 34 million women worldwide. One out of ten women in the United States has a problem getting or staying pregnant. If identified at an early stage, infertility is often treatable. Currently, however, there is no way to monitor real time shifts in fertility, as an individual ages. In this work, we present representative data from a human trial, monitoring healthy women across time. Our research is designed to identify volatile biomarkers, from non-invasive samples, for the development of next generation monitoring.
