Female Infertility Test - Basic

Here’s a brief overview of each test covered in Female Infertility Test – Basic:

• Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH): AMH is a hormone produced by developing ovarian follicles. It is primarily used as an indicator of a woman’s ovarian reserve, which refers to the quantity and quality of her remaining eggs. Lower AMH levels may suggest diminished ovarian reserve, while higher levels could indicate conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
• Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH): FSH is a hormone released by the pituitary gland that stimulates the growth and development of ovarian follicles. FSH levels are typically measured on specific days of the menstrual cycle (usually on Day 2 or 3) to evaluate ovarian function. Elevated FSH levels may suggest diminished ovarian reserve or ovarian dysfunction.
• Luteinizing Hormone (LH): LH is also produced by the pituitary gland and plays a crucial role in ovulation. LH levels surge just before ovulation occurs. Testing LH levels can help determine if ovulation is happening regularly. LH levels may be evaluated alongside FSH levels to assess hormonal balance.
• Prolactin (PRL): Prolactin is a hormone involved in milk production in breastfeeding women. Elevated levels of prolactin, a condition known as hyperprolactinemia, can disrupt normal ovulation and menstrual cycles. Testing prolactin levels can help identify potential causes of irregular periods or anovulation.
