This specialized at-home kit measures 7 key hormone levels that can affect your menstrual cycle and overall fertility.
Method:
Simple finger prick blood collection card
When to collect: Collect your sample on day 2 to 5 of your cycle (day 3 is ideal; day 1 is your first day of full flow). FSH, LH and estradiol are read against early-cycle ranges, so timing matters. If you use hormonal birth control, your FSH, LH, estradiol and progesterone will reflect the medication, and your AMH and TSH results will be the most meaningful.
What does it measure?
AMH, FSH, TSH, Estradiol, LH, Serum Progesterone, DHEA-S
AMH: Your Anti-Müllerian Hormone level is an indicator of your ovarian reserve, or how many eggs you have left. AMH does not predict your chances of getting pregnant naturally, but it can help you and your doctor plan, for example around egg freezing or IVF. Your AMH level declines over time and drops significantly as menopause approaches.
FSH: The Follicle Stimulating Hormone is released by the pituitary gland. It helps manage a woman’s menstrual cycle and stimulates the ovaries to produce eggs. Your FSH level can help evaluate menopause, PMOS (previously named PCOS), abnormal bleeding, and infertility.
TSH: The Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone signals the thyroid gland to make hormones that control the metabolism. Checking your TSH level can show if your thyroid gland is functioning normally. Abnormalities in thyroid function and hyperprolactinemia are well-known causes of infertility.
Estradiol: Estradiol is the most important form of the hormone estrogen. High levels of estradiol can indicate a possible problem with your ovarian reserve. It can also mean the estradiol is suppressing FSH. Either of these things could mean that you will have more trouble getting pregnant or have trouble ovulating.
LH: In women, the Luteinizing Hormone helps control your menstrual cycle and triggers the release of an egg from the ovary, known as ovulation. LH levels surge just before ovulation. You should check your LH level at the beginning of your cycle to help evaluate ovarian function.
Serum Progesterone: Progesterone rises after ovulation. Because this kit is collected early in your cycle, your progesterone result is expected to be low and can’t confirm whether you ovulated. Confirming ovulation requires a progesterone test about 7 days before your next period, so talk with your doctor if that’s a question for you.
DHEA-S: Your Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate level helps show whether or not your adrenal glands are functioning properly. DHEA-S levels are often measured to help evaluate PMOS (previously named PCOS) and rule out other causes of infertility.
A portion of our revenue from each kit will be donated to fertility research and support.
