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.
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.
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 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.
