Fertility Hormones Profile
A detailed assessment of the core hormones involved in fertility, cycle regulation, and ovulation. Perfect for those trying to conceive or experiencing irregular cycles. Helps identify potential causes and supports clearer planning.
- Description
- Why This Test?
- Uses of This Test
The Fertility Hormones Profile measures key reproductive hormones that help regulate menstrual cycle function, ovulation, and overall hormonal balance. It provides clinically useful insight into hormone patterns that can influence fertility, cycle regularity, and a range of symptoms linked to endocrine health.
Hormone imbalance can present in many different ways — including irregular or absent periods, difficulties conceiving, changes in mood, fatigue, and unexplained weight fluctuations. Testing supports a clearer understanding of whether symptoms may be linked to hormone disruption and helps guide appropriate next steps.
This profile is commonly used for fertility planning and evaluation, as well as for monitoring hormone-related treatments where hormonal stability is important.
Female reproductive hormones work in a coordinated pattern to regulate the menstrual cycle and ovulation. When hormone levels fall outside expected ranges — or are not aligned with cycle timing — this can affect fertility and contribute to ongoing symptoms.
Hormonal imbalance may impact:
- Menstrual cycle regulation (irregular, heavy, or absent periods)
- Ovulation and fertility (timing, frequency, and hormonal signalling)
- Everyday wellbeing, including symptoms such as fatigue, mood changes, and unexplained weight fluctuations
By measuring core fertility-related hormones, this test helps clinicians investigate possible reasons for irregular cycles, ovulation disruption, fertility challenges, or hormone-related symptoms.
- Fertility planning and hormone baseline
- Investigate irregular menstrual cycles
- Explore hormone-related fatigue or mood changes
- Investigate unexplained weight fluctuations
What We Test
Biomarkers analysed by accredited UK laboratories
Biomarkers Tested
Hormones Measured
- Testosterone
Helps assess androgen balance in women, which can influence cycle regularity, ovulation, and fertility when levels are elevated or imbalanced.
- Prolactin
Relevant because raised prolactin can disrupt ovulation and menstrual cycle regulation, contributing to fertility challenges and irregular periods.
- Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
Supports assessment of ovarian signalling and cycle regulation, helping interpret ovulation-related hormone patterns.
- Luteinising Hormone (LH)
Helps assess ovulation signalling and cycle timing, supporting investigation of ovulatory dysfunction and fertility-related hormone imbalance.
- Oestradiol (E2)
A key reproductive hormone that supports interpretation of cycle phase and ovarian function, relevant for assessing fertility-related hormone balance.
- Testosterone

How accurate are home finger-prick tests compared to clinic tests?
Our home finger-prick tests use the same accredited laboratories as our clinic tests. While clinic tests allow for more comprehensive panels, home tests are highly accurate for the parameters they measure.
Do I need a GP referral for a blood test?
No, you don’t need a GP referral. You can book directly with us for any blood test. We are a private clinic offering direct access to comprehensive blood testing.
How old do I have to be to have a blood test?
We will only draw blood from those aged 16 and above due to legal requirements.
How long does it take for the blood test results to come?
If you have used our clinic to complete a blood test, we send off all samples the same day to the lab to be processed. If you have used a home test kit, then once your sample has been sent off the lab will analyse your sample. Results are usually received within 72 hours.
How do I perform the home finger-prick test?
Your home blood test kit will contain easy-to-follow instructions on how to take your own finger blood sample. If you have any concerns or questions prior to using the kit, please contact our phlebotomists who will be happy to assist.
How do I prepare for a blood test?
There is no preparation required prior to taking any of the blood tests. Please simply remember to stay hydrated prior to your appointment. This is to help your veins dilate better to enable a quick and efficient blood sample to be taken and reduce the risks of feeling faint following your blood test.
Please inform the phlebotomist before your test if you are currently taking any blood thinning medication.
Should I fast before my blood test?
Fasting is not required for most blood tests. However, if your profile includes cholesterol tests and you’ve previously had high levels, consider fasting for 8 hours beforehand. While not essential, fasting can provide more accurate results.
Note: Fasting means abstaining from any food and drink, except for water.
