Hormonal testing involves measuring the levels of specific hormones in the blood to evaluate reproductive health. These hormones regulate ovulation, egg production, and sperm health, making them essential for successful conception.

Why is Hormonal Testing Important?

Hormonal testing is often the first step in diagnosing fertility issues. It helps to:

  • Assess Ovarian Reserve: Understand the quality and quantity of eggs remaining in the ovaries.
  • Evaluate Ovulation: Identify whether ovulation is occurring regularly.
  • Detect Hormonal Imbalances: Pinpoint conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or thyroid disorders that can affect fertility.
  • Diagnose Male Factor Infertility: Evaluate hormonal levels that influence sperm production.

Common Hormones Tested for Fertility

  1. Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH)

    • Regulates the growth of ovarian follicles (eggs) in women.
    • Indicates ovarian reserve.
  2. Luteinizing Hormone (LH)

    • Triggers ovulation in women.
    • Assesses sperm production in men.
  3. Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH)

    • Measures ovarian reserve and egg quantity.
  4. Estradiol (E2)

    • Evaluates ovarian function and egg quality.
  5. Progesterone

    • Confirms ovulation and supports early pregnancy.
  6. Prolactin

    • High levels can interfere with ovulation and cause irregular periods.
  7. Testosterone

    • Monitored in both men and women to detect hormonal imbalances like PCOS or low sperm production.
  8. Thyroid Hormones (TSH, T3, T4)

    • Thyroid dysfunction can significantly impact fertility in both men and women.
  9. Insulin Levels

    • Elevated insulin is linked to PCOS and can disrupt ovulation.
