Description
The Female Fertility Profile incorporates test code 1004 to chart female hormone Estradiol and Progesterone through the course of the month, along with an AMH, FSH and LH measurement at the luteal phase of the cycle. Measuring progesterone and estradiol throughout the 28 day cycle can enable the practitioner to assess for deficiencies or an excess of these key hormones during the three phases of the female menstrual cycle (follicular, ovulatory and luteal phases).
Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) is a hormone that is normally produced in the ovaries in females. The level of AMH increases significantly during puberty in women, then it gradually decreases through their reproductive years. AMH is used in the assessment of ovarian fertility. It is used to gauge the ‘ovarian reserve’ or how many eggs a woman has remaining.
Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) promotes the growth and development of the ovarian follicle during the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle and also contributes to progesterone secretion during the luteal phase.
Luteinizing Hormone LH – In conjunction with FSH, a high level of LH mid cycle triggers ovulation and promotes secretion of progesterone and estradiol from the ovaries. Like FSH, LH deficiency or excess may be associated with infertility.
