How A Fertility Blood Test Can Help You

Fertility blood tests may be worthwhile if you are considering starting a family. They are highly recommended for those trying to conceive for six months to a year without success.

The blood test is also incredibly useful for individuals seeking general reproductive health information or planning for the future. If that sounds like you, book an appointment; we are here to help.

A Look Into Fertility Testing

A fertility blood test helps assess your ovarian reserve. It does this by measuring your hormone levels. This includes screening for AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone), often used to evaluate the remaining eggs. It also measures your FSH (Follicle follicle-stimulating hormone). This hormone plays a significant role in regulating your menstrual cycle and egg production.

A fertility test also identifies hormonal imbalances and detects polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or thyroid dysfunction. All of these can drastically impact your fertility, and fertility testing can pinpoint these imbalances, understand your likelihood of conception, and pave the way you may need to take going forward.

What Is Typically Measured In A Fertility Blood Test?

The most common hormones tested in a fertility blood test include:

  • FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone)
  • LH (Luteinising Hormone)
  • AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone)
  • Estradiol (Oestrogen)
  • Progesterone
  • Testosterone (for men)

These hormones influence egg production, ovulation, sperm health, and the overall reproductive environment.

A fertility blood test can give critical information by measuring these levels to help diagnose any fertility challenges.

When Should You Consider Getting A Fertility Blood Test?

A fertility test is usually recommended if you are struggling to conceive (or considering getting a fertility plan).

  • Women often benefit from fertility testing after six months to a year of unsuccessful attempts, especially if they are over 35.
  • Men may also undergo fertility blood tests to assess sperm quality and hormonal balance.

Importance Of Fertility Blood Tests

Fertility blood tests are essential tools for individuals and couples looking to understand their reproductive health. They provide valuable insights into hormone levels and other key factors that influence fertility, helping to identify potential issues early on.

  • Assess Hormonal Imbalances: Fertility blood tests measure key hormones like FSH, LH, estradiol, progesterone, and AMH, all of which play crucial roles in reproductive health. Imbalances in these hormones can indicate problems with ovulation, egg quality, or overall fertility, allowing for targeted treatment to restore balance.
  • Monitor Ovarian Reserve and Egg Quality: Tests such as AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone) provide an estimate of ovarian reserve, which is the number of viable eggs remaining in the ovaries. This can be a critical factor in assessing fertility, especially for women in their 30s or 40s, offering guidance on the best time to try for pregnancy or explore fertility preservation options.
  • Evaluate Male Fertility: Blood tests aren’t just for women—they can also help assess male fertility by measuring hormone levels like testosterone, luteinizing hormone (LH), and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). Abnormal levels may indicate issues such as low sperm count or poor sperm quality, providing a clearer understanding of male fertility factors.
  • Detecting Underlying Health Conditions: Fertility blood tests can also highlight other underlying health conditions that may affect fertility, such as thyroid disorders, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), or adrenal dysfunction. Identifying these conditions early allows for timely management and treatment, improving overall reproductive health and increasing the likelihood of conception.

preparing for appointment

Preparing for test

Mommies-to-be, it is very important to book your test at specific times of your menstrual cycle. Commonly, a day 3 blood test (the third day of your menstrual cycle) is used to check levels of key hormones like FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone), LH (Luteinising Hormone), estradiol, and AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone), which are important for ovarian reserve and reproductive function.

For men, testing can typically be done at any time of the day as sperm production is a continuous process, but tests may measure testosterone, FSH, and LH levels to assess sperm health and overall fertility.

during the appointment

During the test

The fertility blood test is a simple procedure that involves drawing a blood sample from a vein in your arm. The nurse or technician will clean the area and insert a needle to collect the blood into small vials.
