Details about Fertility Hormones Profile
What is the Fertility Hormones Profile Test?
The Fertility Hormones Profile is a blood test that measures Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH), Luteinising Hormone (LH), oestradiol and prolactin. These hormones play a central role in regulating the menstrual cycle, ovulation, sperm production and overall reproductive health.
FSH and LH are produced by the pituitary gland and control ovarian or testicular function, while oestradiol is the primary form of oestrogen involved in reproductive tissue development. Prolactin influences reproductive hormone regulation and milk production and can affect fertility when elevated.
This profile is commonly used in fertility assessments for both women and men.
Why do I need a Fertility Hormones Profile?
You may need this test if you are experiencing difficulty conceiving, irregular menstrual cycles or symptoms of hormonal imbalance. Hormonal disruptions can interfere with ovulation, sperm production and reproductive timing.
Testing these hormones together provides a clear overview of reproductive hormone signalling and helps guide further investigation or treatment, including fertility planning or endocrine referral.
Symptoms and scenarios where testing is recommended:
- Difficulty conceiving
- Irregular or absent periods
- Suspected ovulation issues
- Early or delayed puberty
- Symptoms of hormonal imbalance
- Reduced libido
- Abnormal lactation (galactorrhoea)
- Fertility assessment or planning
What’s Tested in This Profile?
- Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
- Luteinising Hormone (LH)

Your Results Explained
Low Levels
Low FSH, LH or oestradiol may indicate hypothalamic or pituitary dysfunction, while low prolactin is usually not clinically significant.
Low oestradiol may be associated with ovarian insufficiency or hypothalamic causes.
UK reference ranges vary by cycle phase and sex.
Normal Levels
Normal results suggest balanced reproductive hormone signalling.
This supports healthy ovulation, menstrual regularity or sperm production depending on clinical context.
High Levels
High FSH and LH may indicate reduced ovarian reserve or testicular dysfunction.
Elevated prolactin can suppress ovulation and affect fertility and may require further investigation.

Follow these guidelines for accurate results
Sample Timing
Where possible, attend your blood test between 7am and 12pm. Please wait until any short-term illness or infection has fully resolved before testing. Avoid intense exercise for 24–48 hours beforehand, as this can affect certain markers.
Fasting & Hydration
Fasting is not always required, but some tests may recommend it. If fasting is advised, avoid food for 8–12 hours before your appointment and drink water only. Stay well hydrated, as this helps with sample collection and accuracy.
Medications & Supplements
Continue prescribed medications unless advised otherwise by your clinician. Avoid vitamin, mineral, or biotin supplements for at least 24–48 hours before your test, as these can interfere with results. If you are unsure about any medication or supplement, please let us know before your appointment.
Hormones & Menstrual Cycle
For hormone-related tests, timing within your menstrual cycle may be important. If relevant, follow any specific guidance provided on your test page.
If you have any questions or special circumstances, our team is happy to advise before your appointment.
