Your hormones regulate your fertility and also play a big role in important body functions such as metabolism, sleep, development, and overall mood. A small change in your hormone levels can have a big impact on your overall health, so hormone testing can help you monitor your general wellbeing, and fertility.

Why do a Hormone & Fertility Test?

Testing your hormones can help get to the bottom of your symptoms and highlight any imbalances. It can also help you understand your fertility by giving you an insight into your ovarian reserve, ovulation, cycle, and your overall reproductive hormone health, so you can get to know your unique biology and help plan your journey to conception.

Just Curious

Your hormone health can be a great indicator of underlying reproductive health conditions as well as give you an insight into your unique biology.

Experiencing Symptoms

Heavy periods, Acne, Excessive hair growth or loss, Vaginal dryness, Night sweats, Weight gain or trouble losing weight

Planning for the future

A hormone and fertility test can indicate underlying conditions which may affect your chances of conception. It can provide you with insight on what next steps to take, should you need to.

Actively trying to conceive

Testing your hormones can give you an insight into any steps or information that you may need to ensure a successful, healthy pregnancy.

After the age of 30 the chance of falling naturally pregnant each cycle is 20%

80% of women suffer from hormonal imbalance

1 in 8 women with PID experience infertility

BAME people are over 25 times less likely to access fertility treatment

Anti-mullerian Hormone

Because of its close links to your eggs, we test AMH as it is a good indicator of your ‘ovarian reserve’, aka how many eggs you have left. Generally speaking, the more eggs you have, the higher the level of AMH in your blood.

Follicle-Stimulating Hormone

Testing FSH can help diagnose or evaluate a number of reproductive health matters. These include menopause, polycystic ovary syndrome, ovarian cysts, abnormal vaginal or menstrual bleeding or fertility problems.

Oestradiol

We test oestradiol as it indicates how well the ovaries are working and can give an insight into abnormal periods, bleeding and fertility.

Luteinising
hormone

We test LH as it alerts your body that it is time to ovulate (release the egg from your ovary). The fine tuning of LH is vital to maintaining fertility.

Progesterone

We test progesterone to determine if ovulation is occurring and to explain fertility problems.

Prolactin

We test prolactin to identify irregular periods or fertility problems. The test can also rule out other pituitary gland or hypothalamus problems.

Testosterone

We test testosterone as it plays an important role in the following: bone health, breast health, fertility, sex drive and menstrual and vaginal health. Testing testosterone can also highlight health conditions such as Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Sex Hormone
Binding Globulin

An SHBG test is most often used to find out how much testosterone is going to the body's tissues. This test can help determine the cause of: irregular or missed periods, infertility, acne and excess facial and body hair.

Thyroid stimulating
hormone

We test TSH to determine the underlying cause of abnormal thyroid hormone levels. TSH is also used to screen for an underactive or overactive thyroid gland and its levels can affect ovulation.

Thyroxine hormone

We test FT4 to help explain irregular periods or fertility problems as an overactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) can prevent ovulation.

Triiodothyronine

We test T3 as it is an indicator of how much thyroid hormone is being produced and can help to identify if your thyroid gland is performing at an optimal level.

Anti Thyroperoxidase
Antibodies

We test for Anti-TG to identify diseases such as thyroiditis.

Anti Thyroglobulin

We test Anti-TPO antibodies as their presence can suggest that the cause of a thyroid disease is an auto-immune disorder such as Hashimoto’s disease or Grave’s disease.

FAQ’s

How to take the test?

Best to test? We recommend collecting your sample in the morning within the first 3-4 hours of waking up, after your body has fasted for at least 8 hours.

But don’t go thirsty! It’s important your body is well hydrated to encourage your blood flow, so be sure to drink plenty of water before testing.

Get prepped! Remove all the items from the box and read through the instructions. Make sure the cap is removed from the collection tube before you begin.

The warmer the better! It’s important that your hand is nice and warm to increase your blood flow, so either collect your sample after a hot shower, or submerge your hand into hot water for at least 5 minutes.

Find your finger! Dry your hand off, and choose the finger you’ll be pricking - we suggest the outer-fleshy part of your ring or baby finger. Sterilise your finger with the alcohol wipe and let it dry.

Time to prick! Twist off the lancet (don’t worry you won’t see a needle) and press it firmly down on your finger. Wipe away the first drop of blood with a clean tissue.

Get down low! Use a low surface for the collection tube - get gravity on your side! Stand up and hold your arm down to allow blood to drip into the tube.

Massage that hand! Massage down your hand firmly - starting from the palm down to the end of your finger - making sure not to squeeze the piercing. If you can't get enough blood for the sample - just re-pierce with a spare lancet!

Do I test on a particular day of my cycle?

Different hormones must be tested on certain days of your cycle. For example:

Hormones such as Anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH), Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and Prolactin (Prl) can be tested at any point in your cycle. However, some hormones such as Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), Luteinizing hormone (LH), and Oestradiol (E2) must be tested on the third day of your menstrual cycle to optimise their measurement.

Progesterone should be tested 7 days before your cycle ends, so if you have a 28 day cycle, you would test on day 21.

With our Virtual Health Assessment, we tailor each test to suit your health needs and the stage you’re at in your fertility journey. Your answers determine which hormones to test and on what day of your cycle.

It’s also best to test in the morning, within 3-4 of waking up after fasting for at least 8 hours. Some hormones can also fluctuate throughout the day - so collecting your sample first thing gives the most accurate readings.

How often should I test?

Every test is a peek into your fertility at that point in time, however, your fertility is continuously changing alongside your age, lifestyle, and environment.

It’s good practice to be #ReProductive with your fertility and retest your hormones every 3- 12 months.

Routine testing can help you evaluate how your fertility hormones are changing. It not only gives you the most up to date information to make decisions about your fertility, but would also be valuable medical history in case you ever need fertility treatment.

Do I need to fast before taking my test?

We recommend collecting your sample first thing in the morning before breakfast, as you would have fasted for at least 8 hours.

Eating can affect certain hormone levels, so if you have eaten before taking your test, the results may not be accurate, however, water is fine.

If you have eaten before taking the test, don’t worry. Your kit has a shelf life of 6 months - so you can always hold off until next month!

Real Stories, Real People

Every woman honestly needs this test. I've been suffering for years and was never given a fraction of the insights or understanding this gave me. Every part of the journey was clear and understandable as well as being warm and insightful. I have always worried about my irregular periods and symptoms and I finally have answers and a plan. Thank you so much!

Melissa K

Really pleased I came across Hertility. The home test was easy to do and my video appointment was reassuring, informative and helpful. I then got a further referral to their partner clinic for more help. I especially liked the webinar I attended from them - refreshingly honest and reassuring content. Overall I've found Hertility really helpful in this difficult journey!

Caroline

Was really great . I have recommended to My friends . I did have problems as I did not sent correctly and they were so kind to give me another chance for free . I really appreciated that . Better than I expected.

Desara

Amazing service. I work for the NHS as a GP and cannot believe how quick and reliable this service is. Cannot recommend enough. THANK YOU

What a brilliant company. From start to finish Hertility were brilliant, I can’t fault them at all. Their product is great, their communication is second to none and the advice on hand couldn’t be better. I highly recommend

Scarlette

Amazing service, great service from start to finish.

Victoria Scullion

Such a fantastic company. Felt reassured and looked after throughout. Everyone should be empowered to take their fertility into their own hands!

Rachel

Very reliable service. I really am so glad that I did this, it has been the first step for me to improve my knowledge on my own health. I am now seeing my local Dr's and undergoing further investigations following on from these results. The service was reliable and professional

Lucy

I was very surprised by how simple the whole process was. The results were easy to understand, and it has contributed to a much better understanding of my fertility. A few years ago, I was diagnosed with endometriosis. It took many GP appointments, emergency room visits, and persistence to get the diagnosis. Had Hertility been around at that time, I’m sure my symptoms would have been flagged much quicker!
