What Does a Fertility Hormone Test Measure?

Posted by Admin on

An at-home fertility profile measures specific markers included in its panel. It can report those measurements, but it cannot by itself confirm whether someone will conceive or explain the cause of fertility concerns.

The Fertility Test combines saliva and blood spot samples and includes 15 markers across reproductive hormones, cortisol and thyroid function.

What does the panel measure?

  • Saliva sex hormones: Estradiol (E2), testosterone, DHEAS and progesterone.
  • Four-point cortisol profile: cortisol collected at morning, noon, evening and night time points.
  • Fertility and thyroid markers from a blood spot: FSH, LH, SHBG, TSH, Free T3, Free T4 and TPO antibodies.

What can results tell you?

The report provides measurements for the markers included in the panel, with sex- and age-appropriate reference ranges and specialist doctor interpretation. Results may be discussed with a qualified healthcare professional alongside personal health history and other clinical information. They do not, by themselves, diagnose infertility, predict pregnancy or establish why someone is having difficulty conceiving.

Why does collection timing matter?

Some hormone measurements can depend on when samples are collected. The product includes cycle-timing guidance for women; follow the instructions provided with the kit and ask a healthcare professional if you’re unsure what timing is appropriate for you.
