Anti-Mullerian Hormone Test (AMH) - Females$71.86The Anti-Mullerian Hormone ( AMH ) Test is used to assess ovarian function and menopausal status; in the evaluation of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or to evaluate the effectiveness of ovarian cancer treatment. Learn More
-
DHEA-Sulfate$33.99
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a hormone produced by the adrenal gland. It is also made in the brain. DHEA leads to the production of androgens and estrogens (male and female sex hormones). DHEA levels in the body begin to decrease after age 30. Lower DHEA levels are found in people with hormonal disorders, HIV/AIDS, Alzheimer's disease, heart disease, depression, diabetes, inflammation, immune disorders, and osteoporosis. Corticosteroids, birth control taken by mouth, and agents that treat psychiatric disorders may reduce DHEA levels.

Estradiol (Regular, CLIA assay)$43.22
This test is not the sensitive estradiol test but the regular one. It is not recommended for men (it is adequate for pre-menapausal women). The results from this test are usually available 2 business days faster than the sensitive estradiol test.

ESTRADIOL , Sensitive (LC/MS/MS)$33.99
This ultrasensitive estradiol test is based on liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS), an assay technology that has been shown to more accurately measure estradiol in men and women than the old immunoassay-based test.
Important note: The blood sample is sent out to Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan Capistrano, Caifornia. Overnight delivery and testing is performed on Sunday and Friday. Reports are available within 5-7 business days from the time the specimen is collected.

PCOS Test Panel$437.42
This PCOS lab test panel includes: Lipid Panel, CBC, CMP, Prolactin, C-Peptide,TSH, Free T3, Fee T4, Sex Hormone binding Globulin, DHEA Sulfate, Estrogen, FSH,Insulin Fasting, A1c, LH, Progesterone, 17-OH Progesterone,Testosterone, Total (LC/MS) and Free (EquilibriumvDialysis), and Vitamin D.
Polycystic literally means "many cysts." In medical terms, it usually refers to a condition called polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). PCOS is a hormonal disorder commonly seen in women of childbearing age. The condition is characterized by the presence of multiple fluid-filled cysts in the ovaries. PCOS can cause symptoms like irregular periods, weight gain, acne, and excessive hair growth. Women with PCOS may also experience infertility, diabetes, and heart disease later in life. The exact cause of PCOS is not known, but genetics and insulin resistance are considered contributing factors. PCOS is diagnosed based on symptoms, physical examination, and blood tests.

Progesterone$31.95
Progesterone is a female hormone important for the regulation of ovulation and menstruation. It is also present in men in smaller concentrations. Progesterone is a steroid hormone that plays numerous roles within the human body. It is crucial to the production of sex hormones and corticosteroids, as well as playing a role as a neuro-steroid (brain function).

Testosterone, Total, LC/MS and Free (Equilibrium Dialysis)$40.17
This panel includes total testosterone measured by the most accurate method and gold standard test (liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry), free testosterone percent by equilibrium dialysis, and free testosterone calculated from percent free T. This test is good more accurate for low and high testosterone blood levels (men who expect high testosterone blood levels over 1,500 ng/dL , women and children who usually have low T levels). It has no interferences with supplements or anabolics. Note: Results may take 5-7 business days. For a faster turnaround, choose this test instead: Testosterone, Free, Bioavailable and Total (With Lower & Upper Limit) plus SHBG

Below we will list the main female hormone tests and their importance in diagnosing and managing various endocrine and reproductive disorders. We'll go through the key hormone tests one by one:
-
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) test: FSH is a gonadotropin produced by the anterior pituitary gland, responsible for regulating the development, growth, and maturation of ovarian follicles in females. An FSH test measures the levels of this hormone in the blood. This test is crucial for assessing menstrual disorders, infertility, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), premature ovarian failure, and menopausal status. FSH levels may vary across the menstrual cycle, with the highest levels observed during the early follicular phase.
-
Luteinizing hormone (LH) test: LH, another gonadotropin produced by the anterior pituitary gland, triggers ovulation and stimulates the corpus luteum to produce progesterone. LH test measures blood levels of this hormone and is essential in evaluating menstrual disorders, infertility, PCOS, and pituitary gland disorders. Like FSH, LH levels fluctuate during the menstrual cycle, with a mid-cycle surge triggering ovulation.
-
Estradiol (E2) test: Estradiol is the primary estrogen hormone produced by the ovaries and is vital for the development and maintenance of female reproductive structures, secondary sexual characteristics, and menstrual cycle regulation. The estradiol test measures the blood levels of this hormone and aids in diagnosing menstrual irregularities, menopause, infertility, ovarian cysts, and assessing ovarian function. Estradiol levels also vary across the menstrual cycle, peaking just before ovulation and dropping afterward.
-
Progesterone test: Progesterone is a hormone produced by the corpus luteum in the ovary after ovulation and by the placenta during pregnancy. It plays a critical role in preparing the endometrium for implantation and maintaining pregnancy. A progesterone test measures blood levels of this hormone, and it is essential for evaluating ovulation, menstrual irregularities, infertility, and early pregnancy complications. Progesterone levels rise after ovulation and remain elevated during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle.
-
Prolactin test: Prolactin is a hormone produced by the anterior pituitary gland, primarily responsible for breast milk production after childbirth. A prolactin test measures the levels of this hormone in the blood and is crucial for diagnosing hyperprolactinemia, which can cause menstrual irregularities, infertility, and galactorrhea (inappropriate lactation). Elevated prolactin levels may also indicate a pituitary tumor (prolactinoma).
-
Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) test: AMH is a hormone produced by the granulosa cells of ovarian follicles and is a reliable marker of ovarian reserve. The AMH test measures blood levels of this hormone and is helpful in assessing a woman's fertility potential, diagnosing PCOS, and predicting the onset of menopause. Unlike other reproductive hormones, AMH levels remain relatively stable throughout the menstrual cycle.
-
Thyroid function tests (TFTs): Thyroid hormones, including thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), influence various body functions, including metabolism and reproductive health. Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) from the anterior pituitary gland regulates thyroid hormone production. TFTs, including TSH, free T4, and free T3 tests, are essential for diagnosing thyroid disorders that can impact reproductive health, such as hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism. Imbalanced thyroid hormone levels can lead to menstrual irregularities, infertility, and pregnancy complications. TFTs are also useful in monitoring the effectiveness of thyroid hormone replacement therapy or antithyroid medications.
