What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you and your partner are having trouble conceiving and want to understand potential male fertility factors. It evaluates hormone levels that directly affect sperm production, quality, and overall reproductive health, including testosterone, FSH, LH, prolactin, and thyroid function. Many men use this test when they've been trying to conceive for several months without success or want to proactively check their fertility health.

How should I prepare for this test?

Fasting: 12-14 hours
No biotin: 72 hours

You should fast for 12-14 hours before your blood draw, which means no food or beverages except water during that time. If you use testosterone cream, avoid applying it to the inner elbow area for 24 hours before testing as it can affect results. If you take high-dose biotin supplements (vitamin B7 or B8), stop taking them at least 72 hours before your test as they can interfere with some measurements.

What's included in this test?

Estradiol,Ultrasensitive, LC/MS Sex Hormone Binding Globulin FSH LH Prolactin

This comprehensive panel measures testosterone (total and free) to assess sperm production and libido, FSH and LH to evaluate testicular function, prolactin to check for hormonal imbalances affecting fertility, estradiol to ensure proper hormone balance, SHBG to understand testosterone availability, and thyroid markers (TSH, T4, T3) that can impact sperm quality. It also includes a Complete Blood Count, Comprehensive Metabolic Panel, and Lipid Panel to assess overall health factors that influence fertility. Together, these measurements provide a complete picture of hormonal and metabolic factors that may be affecting your ability to conceive.

What happens after I get my results?
You'll receive detailed doctor notes in simple language explaining what your hormone levels mean for your fertility and reproductive health. These notes include personalized recommendations like lifestyle changes, supplement suggestions, or whether you should consider seeing a fertility specialist or urologist. You'll also get the standard lab report and can track your hormone levels over time using our trends feature to monitor improvements as you make changes or pursue treatment.
When will I get my results?
You can expect to receive your results within 10 business days after your blood sample is collected. Some tests may require confirmation testing, which could extend the turnaround time slightly, but you'll be notified if that's necessary.
Who should consider getting this test?
This test is ideal for men who have been trying to conceive with their partner for 6 months or longer without success. It's also helpful for men who want to proactively check their fertility health before trying to conceive, those with symptoms like low libido or erectile dysfunction, or men with a history of testicular issues, hormonal disorders, or previous fertility concerns.
What symptoms indicate I may need this test?
Consider this test if you're experiencing low sex drive, erectile dysfunction, reduced facial or body hair growth, or breast tissue enlargement. Other signs include difficulty maintaining muscle mass despite exercise, unexplained weight gain, chronic fatigue, or if you and your partner have been unable to conceive after regular unprotected intercourse for several months.
How can I naturally support my fertility and sperm health?
Start by maintaining a healthy weight through regular exercise and a balanced diet rich in antioxidants, zinc, selenium, and omega-3 fatty acids from foods like fish, nuts, seeds, and colorful vegetables. Avoid excessive alcohol, quit smoking, and minimize exposure to heat around the groin area (like hot tubs and saunas). Manage stress through meditation or yoga, get 7-8 hours of quality sleep, and limit exposure to environmental toxins and endocrine disruptors found in plastics and certain personal care products.
What does low testosterone mean for male fertility?
Low testosterone can significantly impact fertility by reducing sperm production, decreasing sex drive, and affecting erectile function. Testosterone is essential for the development and maturation of healthy sperm, so levels below the optimal range may result in lower sperm count or poor sperm quality, making conception more difficult.
What do high FSH or LH levels indicate?
Elevated FSH or LH levels may indicate that your pituitary gland is working harder to stimulate sperm production, which can suggest an issue with testicular function or primary testicular failure. This pattern is often seen when the testicles aren't responding properly to hormonal signals, which can affect sperm production and overall fertility. Your doctor can help interpret these results in context with your other hormone levels.

What this means

Your total testosterone levels are slightly below the optimal range, which may be affecting your fertility. Low testosterone can reduce sperm production, lower sex drive, and impact overall reproductive health, potentially making conception more difficult.

* Regular blood test results (e.g., CBC) typically start arriving the next business day after sample collection. More complex tests, such as hormone panels, may take up to 10–15 business days due to their complexity.
