At Midlands Women’s Health, we offer private fertility hormone testing and AMH testing in Birmingham, providing fast access to accurate results and specialist advice for patients across Solihull, Birmingham, and the West Midlands.
Whether you are trying to conceive, planning a pregnancy, or concerned about fertility, hormone testing can provide valuable insight into your reproductive health.
What Is Hormone Blood Testing for Fertility?
Hormone blood tests measure the levels of key reproductive hormones that influence ovulation, egg supply, and menstrual cycle regulation.
These tests are commonly used to:
- Investigate difficulty conceiving
- Assess irregular or absent periods
- Evaluate ovarian reserve
- Diagnose hormonal conditions such as PCOS
- Monitor fertility treatment
- Provide pre-pregnancy fertility assessment
Hormone testing can often be performed at specific points in your menstrual cycle to ensure the most accurate results.
What Is AMH Testing?
AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone) is a hormone produced by small follicles in the ovaries and is used to estimate ovarian reserve, or the number of eggs remaining in the ovaries.
An AMH blood test can help:
- Estimate a woman’s egg supply
- Assess fertility potential
- Guide fertility treatment decisions
- Support planning for pregnancy
- Evaluate response to fertility treatments such as IVF
Unlike some hormone tests, AMH testing can be performed at any time during the menstrual cycle.
Hormones Commonly Tested in Fertility Blood Tests
Our fertility hormone testing may include:
Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
FSH helps regulate ovarian follicle development and egg maturation.
Luteinising Hormone (LH)
LH plays a key role in triggering ovulation.
Oestradiol (Estrogen)
Oestradiol is the main female hormone responsible for reproductive function and menstrual cycle regulation.
Progesterone
Progesterone levels help confirm whether ovulation has occurred during the menstrual cycle.
Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH)
AMH provides an estimate of ovarian reserve and egg supply.
Prolactin
Elevated prolactin levels can disrupt ovulation and affect fertility.
Thyroid Hormones
Thyroid function can influence menstrual cycles, ovulation, and pregnancy outcomes.
Who Should Consider Fertility Hormone Testing?
Hormone blood testing may be recommended if you:
- Have been trying to conceive without success
- Experience irregular menstrual cycles
- Have absent periods
- Have conditions such as PCOS or endometriosis
- Are considering fertility preservation
- Want to understand your fertility potential
- Are planning pregnancy later in life
Testing can provide reassurance or help identify potential issues early.
