Fertility Panel

• Estradiol: Measures the level of estradiol, a form of estrogen that is crucial for regulating the menstrual cycle and supporting a healthy pregnancy.
• FSH & LH: Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) are key hormones in the regulation of the menstrual cycle and ovulation. Testing their levels can help assess ovarian reserve and ovulatory status.
• Progesterone: Measures progesterone levels, which are vital for preparing the uterine lining for pregnancy and supporting early stages of pregnancy. Progesterone levels can indicate ovulation and overall luteal phase health.

• Medications: Inform your healthcare provider about all medications, supplements, or hormonal treatments you are taking, as they can influence hormone levels.
• Appointment Timing: Timing for hormone tests may be specific to certain days of your menstrual cycle, typically early in the cycle (days 3-5) for FSH and LH, and about 7 days post-ovulation for progesterone, to get the most accurate assessment of fertility-related hormone levels.

• Sample Collection: Involves drawing blood from a vein in your arm for the various tests. The procedure is generally quick and involves minimal discomfort.
• Duration: The collection process is generally quick, with the actual samplings taking a few minutes each. Allow additional time for registration and waiting at the clinic.

Depending on the results, further testing or follow-up appointments may be necessary. It is essential to discuss your test results with your healthcare provider, who can offer an interpretation and recommend any next steps or treatment.
