How can a fertility insights blood test help you?

This test gives you valuable insights if you’re considering family planning now or in the future. You can also see if your egg count is in the normal range for your age.

It also shows if you have a condition that might affect your fertility — like a thyroid condition. It won't tell you how likely you are to get pregnant or if you're infertile.

Fertility can be affected by:

long periods of stress
polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
irregular periods
being underweight or overweight

With a GP report and tailored advice for your body, you'll have the support to start planning for the future.

What's included in this blood test?

Mid-cycle, your LH levels increase so you can ovulate. If your LH levels are imbalanced, you might have irregular periods and have trouble getting pregnant. High LH levels can indicate menopause or PCOS.

FSH stimulates your ovaries to produce oestradiol. FSH and oestradiol work together to grow and develop the eggs in your ovaries — so when you ovulate the egg is ready to be fertilised by sperm.

Oestradiol (E2) is essential for regulating your menstrual cycle and ovulation. It also plays a key role in building up the lining of your uterus — allows for a fertilised egg to become implanted if pregnant.

Testosterone is essential for your sex drive, bone and muscle health, mood, and cognitive function. Your levels gradually drop as you age. If your levels are out of range you might feel tired, have a low sex drive, and have low mood.

An underactive thyroid can affect your menstrual cycle and ovulation. If you have a thyroid condition, it can increase your risk of pregnancy complications — like a miscarriage. But with treatment, these issues can be reversed.

AMH is a hormone released by cells in your developing egg sacs (ovarian follicles). Testing your AMH levels can help determine the number of eggs you have left — your ovarian reserve.

Prolactin is a hormone made by the pituitary gland. It helps stimulate milk production during breastfeeding and helps to regulate your menstrual cycle. High levels can prevent ovulation.

Advice before doing this test

Infertility is the inability to get pregnant after one year of regular unprotected sex.

Because fertility is complex, we can’t measure all its contributing factors in a single blood test.

Other factors affecting fertility include fallopian tube damage or endometriosis, which can’t be detected in a blood test.

It’s important to know that many factors affecting fertility can be reversed or treated.

You can do this test any time, but it might be harder for our doctors to interpret your follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinising hormone (LH), and oestradiol results.

We recommend waiting until you have a period to get the most valuable insights from this test. Test on day 3 of your next cycle.

Your results might be harder to interpret if you take the contraceptive pill, injections, or have an implant. This doesn’t apply to the hormonal coil.

Wait 3 months before doing this test — this allows time for your natural cycle to return. If you were using the contraceptive injection, we recommended waiting a year.

If you use a topical oestrogen-containing or testosterone-containing cream or gel, always use a glove when applying it. Contact with your fingers could affect your testosterone result.

Breastfeeding can affect your hormone levels — which can make it difficult to accurately interpret your results. We recommend waiting until you've stopped breastfeeding before doing this test.

Don’t do this test if you're pregnant, as we won't be able to interpret your results.
