The Fertility & Pre-conception Panels evaluate reproductive hormones and nutrients. It measures folate, FSH, LH, progesterone, estradiol, AMH, testosterone, prolactin, and TSH for thyroid function impacting fertility.

Sample collection: A small blood sample is taken (usually serum tube) by a finger-prick kit at home or in one of our UK clinics. Our kit includes everything needed; simply return the sample in the pre-paid envelope. Results include a personalised doctor’s interpretation.

Age restriction: Adults 18+ only (guardian consent required for minors).

Overview

Fertility & Pre-conception Panels are blood tests that assess hormones and nutrients essential for conception. They help identify issues like ovulatory disorders, low ovarian reserve, or nutrient deficiencies affecting pregnancy. Your doctor may recommend this panel for those planning pregnancy or experiencing infertility. Swift Blood Tests processes samples rapidly, with results and a doctor’s report typically within a few days.

Key Test Components

Folate

Crucial for fetal development; low levels increase neural tube defect risk.

FSH

Assesses ovarian reserve; high levels suggest diminished fertility.

LH

Triggers ovulation; imbalances indicate PCOS or other disorders.

Progesterone

Supports pregnancy; low levels may prevent implantation.

Estradiol

Regulates cycle; helps evaluate egg quality.

AMH

Measures ovarian reserve; low levels predict earlier menopause.

Testosterone and Prolactin

Check for hormonal imbalances affecting ovulation.

TSH

Evaluates thyroid function, as imbalances impact fertility.

Sample Requirements

A venous blood sample is required (collected in a gold-top serum tube). Test on cycle days 2-5 for accurate FSH/LH; no fasting needed. Send samples via the next-day laboratory service.

Clinical Uses

Screen for ovulatory issues

High FSH or LH suggests reserve or PCOS problems.

Detect nutrient gaps

Low folate prompts supplementation for pre-conception.

Identify hormonal imbalances

Abnormal progesterone or prolactin may require treatment.

Assess ovarian reserve

AMH guides fertility planning or IVF decisions.

Monitor treatment

Tracks responses to fertility drugs or lifestyle changes. The panels provide an overall snapshot of reproductive health and often lead to more specific follow-up tests if abnormalities are found.

Why You Might Need This Test

Difficulty conceiving

Irregular cycles, no ovulation, or unexplained infertility.

Pre-conception planning

Ensuring optimal nutrient and hormone levels

Hormonal symptoms

Mood swings, acne, or weight gain suggesting imbalances.

Family history

Early menopause or thyroid issues affecting fertility. For example, a woman with irregular periods may have high FSH indicating low reserve. Similarly, low progesterone might explain implantation failures. Your doctor will interpret the results alongside your history and may order additional tests based on the findings.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Fertility & Pre-conception Panels?

Fertility & Pre-conception Panels are blood tests measuring hormones like FSH, LH, progesterone, and nutrients like folate to assess reproductive readiness.

These panels are often ordered for infertility evaluation, pre-pregnancy optimization, or hormonal disorder screening.

Time the test for cycle days 2-5. No special preparation otherwise. If part of multiple tests, your provider will advise on fasting.

A small blood sample is taken from a vein in your arm using a needle. It is quick (often under 5 minutes) and routine. You may feel a brief pinch; afterwards, a bandage is applied. There are minimal risks.

Risks are very low. You might experience slight pain or bruising at the needle site, which usually resolves quickly. In rare cases, a small bruise or feeling faint can occur.

Results are typically available within 2–3 working days. Swift Blood Tests provides a detailed doctor’s report explaining your results. You will be notified by email or phone as agreed.

Yes. Swift Blood Tests offers a convenient home sample collection kit (finger-prick or small tube) with instructions, or you can choose a clinic appointment. Follow the included instructions to collect and return the sample by post.

Cycle timing, medications, or stress can influence hormones. It’s best to mention any current health conditions or medicines when you discuss results with the doctor.

An abnormal result does not always mean infertility. For example, high FSH might indicate low reserve; low folate suggests supplementation. Your doctor will interpret any out-of-range values and may recommend follow-up tests (e.g. ultrasound).

This test is intended for adults (18+). Children’s normal values differ from adults. If testing is needed for a child or teenager, please consult with a paediatric specialist or contact us for guidance.
