What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing irregular menstrual cycles, unexplained mood swings, fertility concerns, or unexpected weight changes. It helps identify hormone imbalances that may be affecting your reproductive health, energy levels, and overall well-being. Many women use this test when they suspect hormones are behind their symptoms but want concrete answers before deciding on next steps.

How should I prepare for this test?

Fasting: 12 hours
No biotin: 72 hours

You should fast for 12 hours before your blood draw, which means no food or drinks except water. If you use testosterone cream, avoid rubbing it into the inner elbow area for at least 24 hours before testing, as it can affect results. If you're taking high-dose biotin supplements (vitamin B7 or B8), stop taking them at least 72 hours before your test to prevent interference with certain measurements.

What's included in this test?

Testosterone, Total, MS Estradiol FSH LH

This comprehensive panel evaluates your reproductive hormones through estradiol, FSH, LH, and testosterone levels, which directly impact menstrual regularity, fertility, mood, and energy. It also includes a Complete Blood Count to check for anemia that could cause fatigue, and a Comprehensive Metabolic Panel to assess overall health markers like blood sugar, kidney function, and electrolyte balance. Together, these measurements provide a complete picture of factors affecting your hormonal balance, reproductive health, and overall vitality.

What happens after I get my results?
You'll receive detailed doctor notes in simple language explaining what your hormone levels mean for your menstrual health, fertility, mood, and energy. These notes include personalized recommendations like lifestyle changes, dietary adjustments, supplement suggestions, or whether you should consider consulting with a gynecologist or endocrinologist. You'll also get the standard lab report and can track your hormone levels over time using our trends feature to see how your interventions are working.
Who should consider getting this test?
This test is ideal for women experiencing irregular or absent periods, difficulty conceiving, unexplained weight gain or loss, mood changes, low energy, or reduced libido. It's also helpful for women in perimenopause experiencing hormonal fluctuations, or anyone who wants to understand their baseline hormone levels before starting fertility treatments or hormone therapy.
What symptoms indicate I may need this test?
Common symptoms include irregular menstrual cycles or skipped periods, difficulty getting pregnant, unexplained weight changes despite normal eating habits, persistent fatigue or low energy, mood swings or irritability, changes in libido, acne breakouts, and excessive hair growth or hair loss. If you're experiencing several of these symptoms together, hormonal imbalances could be the underlying cause.
How can I naturally support my hormone balance?
Supporting hormone balance starts with maintaining a healthy weight through balanced nutrition and regular exercise, as body fat affects hormone production. Prioritize 7-9 hours of quality sleep and manage stress through yoga, meditation, or other relaxation techniques, since stress hormones directly impact reproductive hormones. Include plenty of healthy fats from fish, avocados, and nuts, reduce processed foods and sugar, and consider foods rich in B vitamins, zinc, and magnesium to support hormone production.
What is estradiol and why does it matter?
Estradiol is the primary form of estrogen in women of reproductive age and plays a crucial role in regulating menstrual cycles, supporting fertility, maintaining bone density, and influencing mood and energy levels. It's produced mainly by the ovaries and fluctuates throughout your cycle. Low estradiol can cause irregular periods, hot flashes, mood changes, and fertility issues, while high levels may contribute to heavy periods, bloating, and breast tenderness.
What does high FSH mean?
High FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone) can indicate that your ovaries aren't responding well to hormonal signals, which is common as women approach menopause or in cases of diminished ovarian reserve. Elevated FSH may suggest reduced fertility potential and can explain irregular periods or difficulty conceiving. However, FSH levels naturally fluctuate throughout your cycle, so timing of the test and repeat testing may be needed for accurate interpretation.
How often should I retest my hormone levels?
If you're tracking fertility or trying to conceive, testing every 3-6 months can help monitor trends and response to treatments. For women managing symptoms with lifestyle changes or supplements, retesting every 6-12 months helps assess whether interventions are working. If you're on hormone therapy or medications, your doctor may recommend more frequent testing every 2-3 months initially, then less often once levels stabilize.

What this means

Your estradiol level is slightly below the optimal range, which may contribute to irregular periods, mood changes, or low energy. Low estradiol can affect menstrual cycle regularity and fertility, and may explain symptoms like fatigue or decreased libido.

* 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.
