Fertility Blood Tests: LH and FSH Package

Sonoclinic offers comprehensive fertility blood tests: LH and FSH packages designed to provide essential information for every patient during their fertility journey. It includes assessments of luteinising hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), both of which are important for evaluating ovarian reserve. As a result, this package is particularly beneficial for individuals receiving fertility treatment.

This package includes:

• Luteinising Hormone (LH): LH is essential for the maturation of eggs and the production of ovarian hormones. Polycystic ovarian syndrome and other hormonal irregularities can be detected with the help of an early-cycle LH test. The timing of ovulation can be determined by measuring LH levels mid-cycle or about day 14 of a 28-day cycle. LH causes men to produce more testosterone, which affects the formation of sperm. Male infertility can be diagnosed using this test as well.
• Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH): FSH aids in the regulation of the menstrual cycle as well as the growth of follicles containing eggs within the ovaries. A blood test can be conducted on day 2 or 3 of the cycle to help assess ovarian function and egg supply. Likewise, FSH is responsible for controlling sperm production and movement in men. The test thus helps measure the sperm count.
• Full Blood Count: This test offers in-depth information regarding the patient’s iron level. According to studies, iron deficiency has been connected to infertility. This is because iron can directly affect ovulation as well as the oxygen levels contributing to egg quality. Depending on your iron levels, we can create an effective treatment plan.
• Prolactin: The pituitary gland produces the hormone prolactin. Prolactin-level testing can be used to assess infertility and identify the reason for the absence of ovulation in women.
• T3 (Thyroid): The T3 blood test checks the level of T3 in the bloodstream, indicating whether or not the thyroid is working properly.
• T4 (Thyroid): This test measures T4 levels to assess thyroid function. Proper thyroid regulation is essential for reproductive health in both men and women.
• Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH): TSH testing is a key component of fertility assessment, as thyroid dysfunction can impact pregnancy and response to treatment. Both high and low TSH levels should be managed throughout fertility care.
• Vitamin D: Assessing Vitamin D levels before treatment provides a baseline to ensure they fall within a standard range. If a deficiency is detected, early intervention can improve fertility outcomes. Higher Vitamin D levels are linked to better fertility, pregnancy success, and symptom relief for conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and endometriosis.

Fertility Blood Test Preparation Measures

• In the 24 hours before your blood test, make sure you drink a lot of water. The blood draw will be simpler as a result.
• Dress loosely so that your hands and arms can be easily accessible.
• If you take anticoagulants, it’s best to take them after your appointment. If necessary, you may take them beforehand, but only if required.
• It’s important to inform your provider if you are scared of needles. They’ll ensure you feel at ease and make the process as quick and comfortable as possible.
