FERTILITY TEST – HOME BLOOD TEST KIT

Information 

Hormones play a crucial role in our daily functions, affecting growth, reproduction, sleep, mood, and metabolism. Any imbalance can significantly impact overall well-being.

Hormones and Reproductive Health

One of the key functions of hormones is regulating the reproductive cycle. If you’re planning to start a family, a fertility blood test can provide vital insights. Specialists may request this test to assess your reproductive health and guide fertility treatments.

Hormone levels fluctuate throughout the cycle, so timing is crucial when taking a home blood test for fertility. Understanding the right time to test ensures more accurate results.

Who Should Take This Fertility Blood Test?

The Fertility Blood Test is ideal for anyone curious about their fertility health. If you want to understand your ovarian reserve and how many eggs you have left, this test can help.

If you’re considering IVF, this test provides valuable insights into how your body may respond to treatment, helping specialists tailor fertility plans accordingly.

Important Notes for This Test

  • Take this test between days 2 and 5 of your menstrual cycle for the most accurate results.

  • Avoid using a finger that has been in contact with hormone gels or pessaries within the past four weeks.
  • Do not take biotin supplements for two days before the test, as they may interfere with the results.

Test Included

HORMONES

Anti-Mullerian Hormone, or (AMH) is a hormone produced in the follicles which contain eggs within the ovaries

The level of AMH in a woman’s blood are an indicator of how many eggs are left in a woman’s ovarian reserve .

Anti Mullerian Hormone is not routinely measured in men. Although it may be used by specialist fertility clinics in assessing sperm production.

Follicle Stimulating Hormone is produced in the pituitary gland and is important for women in the production of eggs by the ovaries and for men in the production of sperm. Levels of FSH rise in women as egg production declines, therefore raised FSH often coincides with the onset of the menopause and is a measure of ovarian reserve.

Elevated FSH in women indicates reduced egg supply whereas low levels can signal that you are not ovulating or are pregnant.

Oestradiol is a steroid hormone that accounts for 80% of the oestrogen in the female body. It is secreted by the ovaries and is responsible for the development and maintenance of reproductive structures, including fat distribution, preparing the follicle in the ovary for the release of an egg and helping to maintain bone density. This blood test measures the level of oestradiol in your body.

Luteinising Hormone (LH) is produced by the pituitary gland and is important for male and female fertility. In women it governs the menstrual cycle, peaking before ovulation. In men it stimulates the production of testosterone.

Raised LH in women can signal that you are not ovulating, that you are menopausal or that your hormones are not in balance (as with polycystic ovaries).

Prolactin is a hormone which is made in the pituitary gland and plays a role in reproductive health. Its main purpose is to stimulate milk production after birth and in pregnant and breastfeeding women prolactin levels will soar.

Raised levels in a woman who is neither pregnant or breastfeeding can signal fertility problems as well as irregular periods.

The Progesterone Test measures the amount of the hormone in your blood. Progesterone is a female hormone produced by the ovaries and it’s essential for pregnancy. It prepares the uterus for fertilization and produces breast milk.

Raised testosterone for women can result in male characteristics such as body hair, greater bulk, a deeper voice and acne of which are all symptoms of polycystic ovaries, a condition in which elevated testosterone is commonly seen.
