Fertility
The Fertility Test provides an overview of a woman's hormonal health. This test is particularly useful for those who are considering becoming pregnant or want to learn more about their fertility.
We assess levels of four key hormones that can impact the menstrual cycle, ovulation and reproductive health, providing valuable insights into hormonal status.

Who should take the test?
This test is recommended for anyone who wants to obtain information about their hormonal health, especially women who are considering becoming pregnant.
Knowing the status of your hormones can help you better understand the symptoms you may be experiencing and plan your pregnancy more effectively.
A hormonal imbalance can be caused by several factors, including diet, stress, thyroid problems, the onset of menopause, primary ovarian insufficiency, among others.
Tested parameters
Estradiol
Estradiol, produced in the ovaries, is the main form of estrogen in the human body. This hormone is responsible for ovulation and is essential for reproductive health and pregnancy. After menopause, estradiol levels decrease significantly. Estradiol also plays an important role in bone development, secondary sexual characteristics, and optimal functioning of the brain and reproductive system.
Luteinizing hormone (LH)
Luteinizing hormone (LH) is responsible for the stimulation and maturation of ovarian follicles. During the menstrual cycle, when an egg matures, the follicle ruptures and releases the egg from the ovary for possible fertilization.
Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) plays an essential role in the growth and maturation of ovarian follicles, as well as in ovulation and the menstrual cycle. Basal FSH levels typically increase with age due to decreasing ovarian reserve, and greater amounts of FSH are required over time to stimulate ovarian function.
Prolactin
Prolactin is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland that plays an important role in regulating the menstrual cycle and milk production during the postpartum period. Abnormal levels of prolactin can affect ovulation and fertility, and may indicate problems related to pituitary function or a possible dysregulation in prolactin production.
