Hormone Assessment
Hormones play an important role in menstruation and pregnancy. By checking the hormone levels in the blood, a doctor can primarily assess a woman’s reproductive health.
A general female hormone assessment includes the following items:
- Estradiol (E2)
- FSH
- Luteinizing hormone
- Prolactin
- Progesterone (P4)
- Testosterone
- Cortisol
Apart from female hormones, thyroid function test is often included in fertility assessment. It can help identify hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism. Patients with hyperthyroidism are prone to premature delivery and miscarriage; while patients with hypothyroidism are more likely to have ovulation disorders, irregular menstruation, and infertility.
Thyroid function test generally includes:
- Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH)
- Free Triiodothyronine (Free T3)
- Free Tetraiodothyronine (Free T4)
Women who are not getting pregnant within 6 months to 1 year of conception should consider a hormone assessment during the 2nd to 3rd day of menstruation. Please consult our specialist for details.
