A NEW medical test for women who want to check their biological clocks is making its debut in the US amid concerns about its usefulness and enormous interest in the consequences of delayed childbearing.
Called Plan Ahead, it's the first fertility test that purports to measure a woman's 'ovarian reserve' -- how many good eggs she has available for conception.
In a controversial move, the $373 test will be marketed to women who are contemplating when to have children and who want to recognise any potential biological limitations.

About Catherine: I am mom to three grown sons, two grandchildren and two rescue dogs. After years of raising my boys as a single mom, I remarried a wonderful man who had never had a child of his own. Unexpectedly, I found myself pregnant at 49!
Sadly we lost that precious baby at 8 weeks, and decided to try again. Five more losses, turned down for donor egg, foster care and adoption due to my age and losses - we have accepted that there will be no more babies in our house.
