Biomarkers

This test measures follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinising hormone (LH), and oestrogen (oestradiol) to evaluate ovarian function, reserve, and hormonal balance. It helps assess egg supply and puberty progression.

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 report.

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

Overview

FSH/LH/Oestrogen testing is an essential blood test for assessing ovarian reserve, menstrual irregularities, and puberty-related issues. It evaluates hormone levels that regulate ovulation, egg maturation, and reproductive health. High FSH may indicate diminished ovarian reserve, while imbalances in LH and oestrogen can signal conditions like premature ovarian insufficiency or delayed puberty. Swift Blood Tests processes samples rapidly, with results and a doctor’s report typically within a few days.

Key Test Components

Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH)

stimulates egg growth; elevated levels suggest reduced ovarian reserve.

Luteinising Hormone (LH)

triggers ovulation; ratios with FSH help diagnose polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or pituitary issues.

Oestrogen (Oestradiol)

supports reproductive development; low levels may indicate ovarian failure or puberty delays.

Sample Requirements

A venous blood sample is required (collected in a gold-top serum tube). For ovarian reserve, test on day 2–5 of the menstrual cycle. No fasting is needed unless combined with other tests. Send samples via the next-day laboratory service.

Clinical Uses

Evaluate ovarian reserve

High FSH/low oestrogen indicates declining egg quality or quantity.

Investigate puberty issues

Assess delayed or precocious puberty by hormone patterns.

Diagnose menstrual disorders

Identifies causes of amenorrhoea, oligomenorrhoea, or infertility.

Monitor endocrine conditions

Tracks pituitary or ovarian dysfunction in ongoing care. The test provides a hormonal overview and often leads to further investigations like ultrasound if abnormalities are found.

Why You Might Need This Test

You may be advised to take an FSH/LH/Oestrogen test if you have any of the following signs or risk factors: - Fertility concerns: Reduced ovarian reserve or difficulty conceiving. - Menstrual problems: Absent or irregular periods, or symptoms of menopause. - Puberty issues: Delayed development in teens, such as lack of breast growth or periods. - Family history: Of early menopause or endocrine disorders. For example, a woman with irregular cycles may have elevated FSH indicating low reserve. Your doctor will interpret the results alongside your history and may order additional tests based on the findings.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What is FSH/LH/Oestrogen testing?

It measures key reproductive hormones (FSH, LH, and oestrogen) to assess ovarian function, reserve, and puberty status.

It is ordered for ovarian reserve checks, puberty delays, menstrual irregularities, or fertility evaluations.

No special preparation is usually required, but timing in the menstrual cycle is important for accuracy.

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.

Menstrual cycle phase, medications like contraceptives, or stress can influence levels. Mention any relevant factors when discussing results.

High FSH may suggest diminished reserve; imbalances could indicate PCOS or puberty issues. Your doctor will recommend follow-up as needed.

This test is intended for adults (18+), but may be adapted for teens with puberty concerns. Consult a specialist for guidance.
