Biomarkers included – Fertility Test Medium
- Anti-Mullerian Hormone: Ovarian Reserve — Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) is a hormone produced by the ovarian follicles that serves as a primary indicator of a woman's ovarian reserve, or remaining egg supply. It is crucial for assessing fertility potential, predicting the onset of menopause, and monitoring conditions like Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS).
- FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone): Cycle and Ovulation Signalling — Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is produced by the pituitary gland and plays an important role in reproductive function in both women and men. In women, FSH helps stimulate the growth and maturation of ovarian follicles and varies across the menstrual cycle. In men, FSH supports sperm production through its action on Sertoli cells in the testes. Measuring FSH can help assess fertility and ovari
- Luteinising Hormone: Cycle and Ovulation Signalling — Luteinising Hormone (LH) is a gonadotropin produced by the pituitary gland that plays a critical role in regulating the reproductive system. In women, a surge in LH triggers ovulation and the development of the corpus luteum, while in men, it stimulates the Leydig cells in the testes to produce testosterone.
- Prolactin: Reproductive Hormone Balance — Prolactin is a hormone primarily produced by the pituitary gland, best known for its role in stimulating milk production (lactation) after childbirth. It's important because abnormal levels can indicate various health issues, including pituitary tumors, infertility, and menstrual irregularities in women, or erectile dysfunction and decreased libido in men.
- Testosterone: Reproductive Hormone Balance — Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone, although it is also produced in smaller amounts in women. It plays a crucial role in male reproductive development, muscle mass, bone density, and sex drive. In women, testosterone contributes to libido, muscle mass, and bone health. Imbalances can lead to various issues, including decreased libido, erectile dysfunction (in men), fatigue, loss of muscl
- Oestradiol: Reproductive Hormone Balance — Oestradiol is the most potent form of estrogen and plays a central role in regulating the female reproductive system and bone density. It is essential for monitoring ovarian function, fertility, and the progression of menopause, while also supporting cardiovascular health in both men and women.

4.7/5 (3)
- 5/5 — Very easy process and the digital dashboard is easy to navigate.
- 4/5 — Good service, though I had to wait a bit longer for a nurse slot in my area. The test results themselves were very detailed and helpful for my planning.
- 5/5 — Results were easy to interpret and gave me a good sense of my AMH levels before starting my TTC journey.
