Women’s Fertility Test

The Home Test Box At-Home Women’s Fertility Test measures four hormones that can impact your menstrual cycle, ovulation, and ability to become pregnant. When measured together, they can give you a better understanding of your reproductive health.

The Home Test Box At-Home Women’s Fertility Test measures the following hormone levels:

• Estradiol
• Testosterone
• Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
• Luteinizing hormone (LH)

Estradiol is a type of estrogen, a hormone that is primarily produced in the ovaries in women. It is also produced in the adrenal glands, body fat, and, during pregnancy, the placenta. 

Estradiol is the most potent form of estrogen and the most prevalent during a female’s reproductive years. It plays an essential role in fertility in women. 

It regulates the menstrual cycle, helps to thicken the lining of the uterus, and is necessary for ovulation. Estradiol levels typically rise during the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle, peaking just before ovulation. 

Low estradiol levels can cause irregular menstrual cycles, difficulty getting pregnant, and decreased libido. Low estradiol levels have also been linked to an increased risk of miscarriage.

High levels of estradiol can also cause problems with fertility, as it can interfere with ovulation and implantation of a fertilized egg. Therefore, maintaining normal estradiol levels is important for proper fertility in women.

Testosterone is the primary androgen, meaning it stimulates the development of male characteristics. Although it’s commonly referred to as the “male sex hormone,” testosterone is also found in women. However, women produce much less than men. 

Too much testosterone is associated with irregular or absent menstrual periods. It is also linked to increased body hair, frontal balding, acne, an enlarged clitoris, and a deepened voice. High testosterone can also lead to infertility.

Your pituitary gland, a small gland underneath the brain, produces follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), a hormone essential for sexual development and functioning. 

In women, FSH helps control the menstrual cycle and stimulates the eggs to grow in the ovaries.

Luteinizing hormone (LH) is a hormone made by your pituitary glands. It plays an essential role in sexual development and functioning. In women, LH helps control the menstrual cycle. It also triggers ovulation. 

Irregular LH levels can lead to numerous problems, including infertility and menstrual difficulties.
