Fertility Health

Supporting reproductive health begins with understanding the many factors that influence a woman’s ability to conceive. Fertility can be affected by hormonal fluctuations, ovarian function, cycle irregularities, and underlying conditions that often develop gradually and without obvious symptoms. Challenges such as difficulty conceiving, changes in menstrual patterns, or unexplained fatigue may only become apparent when actively trying to become pregnant. Gaining early insight into these biological processes is essential for informed decision-making, timely intervention, and long-term reproductive well-being.

Fertility is deeply interconnected with the endocrine system, which governs ovulation, menstrual regulation, and overall hormonal balance. Key hormones—including FSH, LH, oestradiol, AMH, prolactin, and thyroid markers—work together to coordinate each stage of the reproductive cycle. Even small disruptions in this network can affect egg development, ovulation timing, and menstrual rhythm, underscoring the importance of a comprehensive testing approach that examines multiple aspects of reproductive health.

Why a Fertility Health test matters

Fertility is shaped by a delicate balance of hormones — and by your wider health. This comprehensive panel looks at your reproductive and adrenal hormones, ovarian reserve (AMH), blood-sugar and metabolic markers, cholesterol, iron stores and key vitamins, building a detailed picture to support your fertility journey.

Because hormone levels change across the menstrual cycle, timing matters — and every result is reviewed and explained by a GP, with clear guidance on what it means and any next steps.

What to know before your appointment

Hormonal contraception

It is important to note that hormonal contraception may affect your results. If you stop taking the pill, we suggest waiting until your periods have resumed their normal cycle before taking this test. Make sure that you take an alternative form of contraception if you are not planning to become pregnant.

When to test

This test should be taken two to five days after the start of your period, ideally on day three. If you stop taking the pill, we suggest waiting until your periods have resumed their normal cycle before taking this test. If you wish to review your progesterone results, we recommend completing our Day 21 Progesterone Test.

Fasting required (8–12 hours)

Fasting for 8–12 hours prior to your test is recommended, as non-fasting can affect heart health, cardiovascular risk score, diabetes health, iron status and testosterone levels (only consume water during this fasting period). Fasting for extended periods can affect your results or cause adverse reactions during sample collection.

Biotin (Vitamin B7)

Biotin (Vitamin B7) is a common component of many multivitamins and is also available as a standalone supplement. Biotin is known to interfere with laboratory testing and can affect various blood results. Unless prescribed by your doctor, we recommend stopping supplementation at least 48 hours prior to testing. If the supplement has been prescribed, please speak with your doctor before stopping.
