What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're trying to conceive and want to understand your reproductive health, or if you're experiencing irregular menstrual cycles, hormonal imbalances, or fertility concerns. It evaluates key hormones like FSH, LH, prolactin, estradiol, and testosterone that directly impact your ability to conceive, along with thyroid function, vitamin levels, and overall metabolic health. Many couples use this test to identify potential fertility obstacles before seeking more invasive procedures or when they want concrete answers about what might be affecting their ability to get pregnant.

What happens after I get my results?

You'll receive detailed doctor notes in simple language explaining what your hormone levels and fertility markers mean for your reproductive health. These notes include personalized recommendations like dietary changes, supplement suggestions, lifestyle modifications to improve fertility, or whether you should consult a fertility specialist. You'll also get the standard lab report and can track your hormone levels over time using our trends feature to see how interventions or treatments are affecting your fertility markers.

What's included in this test?

This panel measures Prolactin, FSH, LH, Estradiol, Testosterone (Free and Total), TSH, Free T4 Index, T3 Uptake, T4 Total, Vitamin B12, Iron, Complete Blood Count (CBC with differential and platelets), Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (with eGFR including electrolytes, kidney function, liver enzymes, glucose), and Lipid Panel (total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides, ratios). This comprehensive fertility panel evaluates reproductive hormones including FSH, LH, prolactin, estradiol, and testosterone which directly control ovulation, sperm production, and conception ability. It checks thyroid function (TSH, T3, T4) because thyroid disorders are a common cause of infertility and irregular cycles. The test also measures Vitamin B12 and iron levels, which are essential for healthy pregnancy and can affect fertility, plus metabolic markers, lipid profile, and complete blood count to provide a full picture of your overall health affecting reproductive function.

How should I prepare for this test?

You should fast for 12-14 hours before your blood draw, which means no food or beverages except water during that time. It's important to have your blood collected in the morning since iron values naturally decrease by 30% throughout the day. If you use testosterone cream, avoid applying it to the inside of your elbow area for at least 24 hours before testing to ensure accurate results. Results typically take about 10 business days, though this may be extended if additional confirmation testing is needed.

When will I get my results?

You can expect to receive your results within 10 business days after your blood sample is collected and sent to the lab. In some cases, if confirmation testing is required for any of the biomarkers, the turnaround time may be slightly extended. You'll be notified as soon as your results are ready and can access them securely online along with your personalized doctor notes.

Who should consider getting this test?

This test is perfect for couples who have been trying to conceive for several months without success and want to identify potential hormonal or health barriers. It's also ideal for women experiencing irregular periods, absent periods, or unexplained infertility, as well as men concerned about low sperm count or sexual dysfunction. Anyone planning to start a family who wants a baseline assessment of their reproductive health should consider this comprehensive panel.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Key symptoms include difficulty conceiving after 6-12 months of trying, irregular or absent menstrual cycles, unexplained weight changes, low libido, or erectile dysfunction. Women may notice symptoms like excessive facial hair, breast discharge, severe PMS, or very heavy or light periods. Men might experience low energy, decreased muscle mass, or changes in sexual function. Both partners may benefit from testing if experiencing unexplained fatigue or mood changes that could indicate hormonal imbalances.

How can I naturally support my fertility?

Supporting fertility starts with maintaining a healthy weight through balanced nutrition and regular moderate exercise, as being over or underweight can disrupt hormone balance. Reduce stress through yoga, meditation, or acupuncture, and prioritize 7-8 hours of quality sleep each night. Include fertility-boosting foods rich in antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids, folate, and zinc like leafy greens, berries, fatty fish, nuts, and seeds. Limit alcohol, quit smoking, and reduce caffeine intake to optimize your reproductive health.

What is prolactin and why does it matter for fertility?

Prolactin is a hormone primarily responsible for stimulating milk production after childbirth, but it also plays an important role in regulating your menstrual cycle and fertility. When prolactin levels are too high (even when you're not pregnant or breastfeeding), it can interfere with ovulation and cause irregular periods, making it harder to conceive. In men, elevated prolactin can reduce testosterone production and affect sperm quality. Testing prolactin helps identify this treatable cause of infertility.

What does high FSH mean?

High FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) often indicates that your ovaries or testes are working harder to produce eggs or sperm, which can signal decreased fertility or diminished ovarian reserve in women. In women, elevated FSH may mean approaching menopause or poor egg quality, making conception more difficult. In men, high FSH can indicate problems with sperm production. While concerning, understanding your FSH levels helps you and your doctor develop an appropriate fertility treatment plan.

How often should I retest my fertility hormones?

If you're actively trying to conceive or undergoing fertility treatments, retesting every 3-6 months helps monitor how your hormone levels respond to lifestyle changes or medical interventions. Women should ideally test on specific cycle days (typically day 3 for FSH and estradiol) for accurate comparisons. If you've made significant lifestyle changes like weight loss, stress reduction, or dietary improvements, retesting after 3 months can show if these efforts are improving your fertility markers.
