It is marketed as an "egg timer": one simple blood test, now available online without ever seeing a doctor, that promises to tell you how much time you have left to have a baby. It is a seductive idea, and a profitable one. But in our clinic we meet the other side of it, the women who walk away from that single number frightened, or falsely reassured, and almost always misled about what it actually shows. The truth is that AMH can be a very useful and empowering test and one of the most misunderstood in all of women's health, at the very same time. So before you order one, or panic over a result you already have, here what an AMH test can tell you, what it cannot, who it is really for, and why a number on its own is never the whole story.

To mark International Women's Day 2026, Dr Sarah Farrell and Dr Jo Mackson partnered with Biolae and Dexus to deliver Hormones 101, a talk on the hormone education every woman deserves and so few have ever had.

International Women's Day felt like exactly the right moment for it. So much of women's health has been under-researched, under-taught and too readily dismissed, and closing that knowledge gap is its own quiet form of equity. When a woman understands what is happening in her own body, she is far harder to dismiss, and far better placed to get the care she deserves.

Two of midlife's most common experiences, changes in your breasts and the dryness, discomfort and recurrent UTIs that fall under genitourinary syndrome of menopause, are also two of the least discussed and most under-treated. In this episode of On the Mones, our founder Dr Sarah Farrell sits down with pharmacist Kate Thomas to explain both, clearly and without the panic.

Our founder Dr Sarah Farrell was the expert in a recent Sydney Morning Herald and The Age feature on parenting through perimenopause. So many women write off the fatigue, fog and mood changes as a normal part of motherhood, when something else is going on entirely.

We are delighted to share that Sydney Women's Wellness has been recognised on a national stage, named a finalist in the 2025 Australian Small Business Champion Awards. For a young women's health clinic, being seen alongside businesses from across the country means a great deal, and it belongs to the patients, team and community who got us here.

Our founder, Dr Sarah Farrell, wrote a piece for Women's Agenda on perimenopause, the hidden hormone shift so many women are navigating without realising it. It's about the women she meets every day who feel foggy, flat or forgetful and are quietly wondering what's wrong with them, when the answer is often a natural transition that deserves real attention. You can read the full article here.

We are proud, and a little humbled, to share that Sydney Women's Wellness has been named Outstanding New Business in the 2025 Local Business Awards. It is a lovely recognition of the kind of women's healthcare we set out to build, and a thank you we want to pass straight back to the patients, team and community who made it possible.

Breast awareness is one of the simplest health habits there is, and somewhere along the way it got needlessly complicated. You don't need a technique or a calendar. You just need to know what's normal for you, so you notice if something changes.

Be Breast Aware - Feel your pair!

When a family loses a child, our instinct is often to give them space, or to stay quiet for fear of saying the wrong thing. But that silence can leave grieving parents feeling completely alone. Each year, Red Nose holds Say Their Name Day here Dr Sarah Farrell shares four things worth remembering when someone you love is carrying this kind of loss.
