Infertility for Women

The 17-Hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP) Test measures levels of 17-OHP, a hormone made by the adrenal glands, to help diagnose congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) and other adrenal disorders. Elevated levels may indicate enzyme deficiencies affecting cortisol production, while low levels can suggest adrenal insufficiency. Doctors order this test for infants with ambiguous genitalia or adults with irregular periods, infertility, or abnormal androgen symptoms.

The Female Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) Test measures AMH levels in blood to evaluate ovarian reserve and fertility potential. AMH reflects the number of eggs remaining and helps predict response to fertility treatments such as IVF. Doctors use this test to assess reproductive lifespan, investigate irregular cycles, or diagnose conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Results provide key insight into fertility, ovarian health, and reproductive planning.

The DHEA Unconjugated Test measures levels of dehydroepiandrosterone, an adrenal hormone that serves as a precursor to testosterone and estrogen. Abnormal levels may indicate adrenal tumors, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, or hormone imbalance. Doctors order this test to evaluate infertility, irregular cycles, excess hair growth, or early puberty. Results provide insight into adrenal gland function, reproductive health, and endocrine disorders.

The DHEA Sulfate (DHEA-S) Test measures levels of DHEA-S, a hormone made by the adrenal glands, to evaluate adrenal function and hormone balance. It helps detect adrenal tumors, hyperplasia, or insufficiency and assess abnormal hair growth, infertility, or early/late puberty. Doctors also use it to investigate irregular menstrual cycles, monitor androgen disorders, and evaluate symptoms of hormone imbalance affecting reproductive and metabolic health.

The Estradiol (E2) Test measures levels of estradiol, the primary form of estrogen, to evaluate reproductive and hormonal health. It helps assess menstrual irregularities, fertility issues, menopause status, and estrogen-producing disorders. In men, it aids in diagnosing hormonal imbalances. Doctors use the estradiol test to monitor hormone therapy, ovarian function, and conditions affecting puberty, bone health, and overall endocrine balance.

The Estriol (E3) Test checks blood levels of estriol, an estrogen hormone important in pregnancy. It is commonly included in the second-trimester triple or quad screen to detect chromosomal disorders such as Down syndrome and assess placental function. Estriol testing helps monitor fetal growth and maternal hormone health. Low or abnormal levels may signal pregnancy complications, guiding further testing and prenatal care decisions.

The Estrogen Total Test measures all forms of estrogen in blood, including estradiol, estrone, and estriol, to assess reproductive and hormonal health. Abnormal levels may indicate menstrual irregularities, menopause status, infertility, or hormone-related disorders. Doctors order this test to evaluate fertility, monitor hormone therapy, and investigate symptoms such as hot flashes, irregular cycles, or abnormal bleeding. It provides key insight into endocrine and reproductive function.

The Estrone (E1) Test measures estrone, one of the three main estrogen hormones, to assess reproductive and hormonal health. It helps evaluate ovarian function, menstrual irregularities, menopause status, and estrogen-related disorders. In men, estrone testing may detect hormonal imbalances or excess estrogen. Doctors use this test to monitor hormone therapy, fertility treatments, and conditions affecting bone health, metabolism, and overall endocrine balance.

The Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) Test measures FSH levels to evaluate reproductive and endocrine health in both men and women. In women, it helps assess infertility, irregular periods, menopause, or ovarian function. In men, it is used to check sperm production and testicular function. Abnormal results may indicate PCOS, pituitary disorders, or hormonal imbalance. Doctors order this test to guide fertility treatment, hormone therapy, and overall reproductive care.

The FSH and LH Test measures follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) to evaluate reproductive and endocrine health in both men and women. In women, it helps assess menstrual irregularities, infertility, menopause, or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). In men, it aids in diagnosing low testosterone, infertility, or testicular dysfunction. Doctors also use this test to investigate puberty disorders, hormone imbalance, and pituitary function.

The LH Test measures luteinizing hormone levels in blood to assess fertility, reproductive health, and endocrine function. Abnormal LH may indicate infertility, menstrual irregularities, menopause, or pituitary disorders in women, and low testosterone or testicular dysfunction in men. Doctors use this test to evaluate ovulation, investigate infertility, monitor puberty disorders, or guide hormone therapy. It provides key insight into reproductive and hormonal balance.

The Progesterone Test measures progesterone levels in blood to evaluate ovulation, fertility, and menstrual health. It helps confirm whether ovulation has occurred, assess causes of infertility, and monitor hormone therapy or high-risk pregnancies. Doctors also use it to investigate abnormal bleeding, detect ovarian or adrenal disorders, and evaluate miscarriage risk. This test provides key insight into reproductive, hormonal, and overall endocrine health.

The Prolactin Test measures prolactin, a hormone produced by the pituitary gland, to assess reproductive and endocrine health. High prolactin (hyperprolactinemia) may cause infertility, irregular periods, or milk production in women and low testosterone, erectile dysfunction, or infertility in men. Doctors use this test to evaluate pituitary tumors, hormonal imbalance, or unexplained symptoms such as headaches, vision changes, or abnormal lactation.

The Prolactin, Dilution Study measures prolactin levels using dilution techniques to correct assay interference. This test improves accuracy when unusually high prolactin is present, distinguishing genuine hyperprolactinemia from laboratory artifact. It aids in evaluating pituitary adenomas, reproductive hormone imbalance, infertility, and endocrine-related disorders with reliable, clinically useful results.

The T4 Total Test measures total thyroxine (T4) in blood, a combination of both bound and unbound (free) T4, to assess thyroid function. Abnormal levels may indicate hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, goiter, or pituitary disorders. Doctors use this test to evaluate symptoms like fatigue, weight changes, hair loss, or irregular heart rate and to monitor thyroid replacement or antithyroid therapy. The T4 Total Test provides key insight into metabolic, hormonal, and endocrine health.

The Testosterone Free and Total Test measures total testosterone and free, bioavailable testosterone in blood for both men and women. It helps diagnose hormone imbalance, infertility, low libido, erectile dysfunction in men, irregular periods, or PCOS in women. Doctors also order it to assess fatigue, mood changes, or muscle weakness and to monitor hormone therapy. This test provides key insight into reproductive, endocrine, and overall metabolic health.

The Testosterone Free and Total and Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) Test measures total testosterone, free testosterone, and SHBG to assess hormone balance in men and women. It helps diagnose infertility, erectile dysfunction, low libido, irregular periods, PCOS, and abnormal puberty. Doctors also use it to evaluate fatigue, muscle weakness, or mood changes and to monitor hormone therapy. This test provides a comprehensive view of reproductive, endocrine, and metabolic health.

The Testosterone Total Test measures total testosterone levels in blood to evaluate reproductive, sexual, and endocrine health. In men, it helps diagnose hypogonadism, infertility, erectile dysfunction, or low libido. In women, abnormal levels may indicate PCOS or hormonal imbalance. Doctors use this test to investigate fatigue, muscle weakness, or mood changes and to monitor testosterone therapy. It provides key insight into hormone balance and metabolic health.

The Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) Test measures TSH levels in blood to assess thyroid function and diagnose hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism. It evaluates how the thyroid controls metabolism, energy, weight, and heart rate. Doctors use the TSH test to investigate symptoms such as fatigue, hair loss, or mood changes. Frequently included in routine health exams, it is also key for monitoring thyroid disease treatment and overall endocrine balance.
