The Women’s Fertility Check helps you better understand your fertility status and your ability to conceive. Women take this test for all sorts of reasons; perhaps to decide if they can delay having a baby for a while, or to consider freezing their eggs for the future. Whatever your situation, this test provides the information you need to make an informed decision about your future.

This is what the test will measure:

Estrogen

Estradiol is the main form of estrogen found in a woman's body and is the most potent of the three naturally produced estrogens. It plays a vital role in the reproductive system and the regulation of a woman's menstrual cycle, as well as many other areas including bone strength, heart health, metabolism and nerve health. Estradiol levels start to fall as a woman enters perimenopause, causing a range of what can be debilitating symptoms. The reduction in estrogen at the time of the menopause has been linked to the development of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women.

Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)

Baseline FSH levels typically increase with age due to diminished ovarian reserve, and over time more FSH is needed to stimulate ovarian function. A normal FSH level may imply a person with a uterus has an appropriate egg quantity for their reproductive stage.

Luteinizing hormone (LH)

LH is responsible for the stimulation and maturation of ovarian follicles in the ovaries. In women, LH levels rise naturally around the time of the menopause, highlighting the reduced function of the ovaries as well as the reduction in estrogen and progesterone production.

Anti-Müllerian Hormone Test (AMH)

This test measures the level of anti-müllerian hormone (AMH) in the blood. AMH is made in the reproductive tissues of both males and females. In women, AMH levels can provide information about their fertility and predict the start of menopause. The test may also be used to help diagnose menstrual disorders or to monitor the health of women with certain types of ovarian cancer.
