This fertility check-up package is designed for women who are planning pregnancy or wish to better understand their fertility status. Through a series of blood-based hormonal tests, the assessment provides a comprehensive evaluation of ovarian function, ovulation status, and overall reproductive potential. Early assessment allows women to make informed decisions when planning for future pregnancy.
⚠️ This check-up should be performed on Day 2 or Day 3 of the menstrual cycle
📄 Report turnaround time: Approximately 7–10 working days
👩⚕️ Result explanation: Results will be clearly explained by GP or medical staff
🩺 Procedure duration:Registration → Blood collection → Total time approximately 30-45 mins
📌Important Reminder
To ensure the examination can be arranged at the appropriate time, we generally recommend that patients make an online or phone appointment on the first day of their menstrual period. This allows us to schedule the test on Day 2 or Day 3 of the cycle and helps avoid unnecessary rescheduling.
Please note that each patient is entitled to one complimentary rescheduling only. Early planning and booking are therefore strongly advised to ensure a smooth examination process.
What Is a Women’s Fertility Check-up?
A women’s fertility check-up primarily assesses reproductive hormones related to ovulation and ovarian reserve, including follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estradiol, progesterone, and anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH).
This type of fertility assessment is commonly used as a pre-pregnancy evaluation and is also suitable for women who wish to understand changes in their fertility potential over time.
What Does the Women’s Fertility Check-up Include?
This package includes 6 key Hormones for fertility:
Prolactin
FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone)
LH (Luteinizing Hormone)
Estradiol
Progesterone
AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone)
A combined analysis of these markers helps evaluate ovarian function and fertility potential.
Hormone Overview
🧬 Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH)
AMH is produced by immature ovarian follicles and is widely used as an indicator of ovarian reserve. It reflects the quantity of remaining eggs, but does not assess egg quality or the likelihood of pregnancy.
AMH levels are not affected by the menstrual cycle and can be tested at any time. Levels generally decline with age, making early testing helpful for understanding changes in fertility potential.
🍼 Prolactin
Prolactin primarily stimulates breast milk production after childbirth and is also involved in multiple physiological processes, including reproductive regulation, metabolism, immune function, and fluid balance.
Elevated prolactin levels (hyperprolactinemia) may suppress ovulation, reduce fertility, and interfere with normal estrogen and progesterone production, potentially leading to irregular or absent menstrual cycles.
🌸 Progesterone
Progesterone plays a vital role in maintaining pregnancy. It promotes thickening of the uterine lining to support implantation, suppresses uterine contractions, and reduces the risk of miscarriage during early pregnancy.
Insufficient progesterone levels may impair implantation or increase the risk of early pregnancy loss.
🥚 Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
FSH is a key pituitary hormone involved in reproductive regulation.
In women: FSH stimulates ovarian follicle development, promotes egg maturation, and increases estradiol production.
In men: FSH supports sperm production.
FSH is commonly assessed alongside other hormones to evaluate ovarian function and reproductive health.
🔄 Luteinizing Hormone (LH)
LH is closely associated with ovulation. A mid-cycle surge in LH triggers the release of an egg from the ovary.
In women: LH also supports corpus luteum formation and progesterone production after ovulation.
In men: LH stimulates testosterone production, which is essential for sperm development and male secondary sexual characteristics.
🌺Estradiol
Estradiol is the primary estrogen in women and is mainly produced by the ovaries. It plays a critical role in maintaining reproductive function.
During the menstrual cycle, rising estradiol levels promote egg maturation and thickening of the uterine lining. Estradiol levels decline with age and drop significantly after menopause.
In men, appropriate estradiol levels also contribute to bone health and neurological function.
Summary
A comprehensive analysis of fertility-related hormones provides valuable insight into ovarian reserve, ovulation function, and hormonal balance, offering women a reliable and informed assessment when planning for pregnancy.
Women planning to conceive within the next 6–12 months
Women aged 30 or above who are concerned about fertility changes
Women with irregular menstrual cycles or ovulation issues
Career-focused women considering delayed childbearing
Women seeking early assessment of ovarian and reproductive health
Patients who wish to have results clearly explained by healthcare professionals
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: When should the women’s fertility check-up be performed?
This check-up must be conducted on Day 2 or Day 3 of the menstrual cycle. Testing during the early follicular phase allows for more accurate assessment of fertility-related hormone levels.
Q2: Can the test still be performed if Day 2 or 3 is missed?
If testing is not performed during the recommended timeframe, the clinical value of the results may be affected. It is therefore recommended to wait until the next menstrual cycle and undergo testing on Day 2 or 3.
Q3: Is fasting required for the women’s fertility check-up?
In general, fasting is not required.
Patients taking specific medications or with particular medical conditions are advised to consult healthcare staff at the time of booking.
Q4: Does AMH also need to be tested on Day 2 or 3?
AMH itself is not affected by the menstrual cycle. However, as this package includes multiple hormones that should be tested during the early follicular phase, the entire test is scheduled on Day 2 or Day 3 to ensure overall accuracy.
Q5: Can this fertility check-up replace a gynecological examination or ultrasound?
No.
This fertility check-up evaluates hormonal and ovarian function only and does not assess uterine or ovarian structure. Gynecological examinations or pelvic ultrasound can be arranged separately if required.
