Female Hormone Panel

A comprehensive assessment of female reproductive hormones for fertility, menstrual health, and hormonal balance.

8 markers included

Purpose

The female hormone panel evaluates reproductive hormones that affect menstrual cycles, fertility, and hormonal balance. It helps diagnose PCOS, premature ovarian insufficiency, menstrual irregularities, and guides fertility treatment decisions.

When to Order

Recommended for irregular periods, infertility evaluation, suspected PCOS, perimenopause symptoms, or when planning pregnancy to assess ovarian reserve.

Preparation Instructions

Timing depends on the purpose. For baseline hormones (FSH, LH, estradiol), test on cycle days 2-5. For progesterone, test 7 days after ovulation (around day 21 of a 28-day cycle). AMH can be tested any time.

Frequently Asked Questions

When in my cycle should I test hormones?
Day 2-5 for FSH, LH, and estradiol (baseline). Day 21 (or 7 days post-ovulation) for progesterone to confirm ovulation. AMH and testosterone can be tested any day. For irregular cycles, your doctor may test at any time.
What does elevated LH compared to FSH indicate?
An LH:FSH ratio greater than 2:1 or 3:1 is one indicator of PCOS. In a normal cycle, FSH is typically higher than LH in the early follicular phase. Reversed or elevated ratios warrant further PCOS evaluation.
What does AMH tell you about fertility?
AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone) indicates ovarian reserve - the quantity of remaining eggs. Higher AMH generally means more eggs available. Low AMH suggests diminished ovarian reserve, which may affect fertility treatment options.
Why test testosterone in women?
Women produce testosterone too, and elevated levels can cause acne, hair growth, and irregular periods (common in PCOS). Low testosterone can cause low libido and fatigue. Testing helps identify hormonal imbalances.
