With this service you will receive a home finger prick test. This test is designed to check major parts of the fertility process. Check if you have the correct levels of hormones, confirm ovulation occurrence and see if you are perimenopause.
Each month, progesterone prepares your uterus for pregnancy. During a normal menstrual cycle, an ovary releases an egg and your progesterone levels begin to rise. Progesterone makes the lining of your uterus grow thicker so that a fertilized egg can attach (implant) inside of the uterus and grow into a baby.
You may need a progesterone test if:
In healthy females of childbearing age, higher levels of AMH mean that the ovaries have a larger supply of eggs. As females age, the number of eggs decreases, which causes AMH levels to decrease. At menopause, no eggs are left, and AMH levels drop to zero.
Plan in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment. Higher levels of AMH mean that you're likely to respond to fertility medicine and you may only need a small dose. Low levels of AMH may mean need for higher doses to respond.
In the early weeks of pregnancy, both male and female babies have a set of ducts (tubes) called Mullerian ducts. Normally, male babies make high levels of AMH in their testicular tissue. The AMH makes the Mullerian ducts shrink and helps male organs to grow. AMH levels stay high in male children until puberty when they begin to decrease.
AMH tests are mainly used with other tests to make decisions about treating female infertility (not being able to get pregnant). If you're having infertility treatment, AMH testing can:
Other symptoms for taking this test include:
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is a hormone produced by the anterior pituitary in response to gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) from the hypothalamus. FSH plays a role in sexual development and reproduction in both males and females.
The FSH test is used to evaluate fertility issues, the health of your reproductive organs (ovaries or testicles), or pituitary function.
In women, FSH helps manage the menstrual cycle and stimulates the ovaries to produce eggs.
FSH can also help in the diagnosis of perimenopause and menopause.
FSH is made by the pituitary gland. Levels often go up and down during the menopause transition. FSH levels can be very high one day and very low the next day. When FSH levels are high, the ovaries make more estrogen. When FSH levels drop, estrogen levels drop. These changes in FSH and estrogen can happen months to years before menopause.
