What's tested

What does the panel measure?

The reproductive, thyroid and iron markers that shape fertility, grouped so you can see the picture. Drawn over two visits, so each marker is read on the right day.

This panel needs two visits. FSH and LH are drawn on day 2 to 5 of your cycle, and progesterone on about day 21 (a week before your period is due). Prolactin reads best in the morning. AMH, thyroid and iron can be drawn at either visit. We set both dates with you when you book.

Cycle hormones

FSH, LH, Progesterone. The hormones that map ovulation and the rhythm of the menstrual cycle.

Ovarian reserve and prolactin

AMH, Prolactin. AMH reflects the egg reserve and is stable across the cycle; prolactin, best read in the morning, can disrupt ovulation when raised.

Thyroid

TSH, Free T3, Free T4. A full thyroid picture, since thyroid balance is important for regular cycles and fertility.

Iron stores

Serum Iron, Ferritin. Iron and ferritin (your iron stores), which affect energy and reproductive health.

How it works

Excellent experience at Epicentre. The staff were professional, kind, and took time to explain everything clearly. The facility was clean, booking was easy, and I did not feel rushed.

What this does not do

This is a screen that supports a conversation with your doctor or a fertility specialist. It is not a diagnosis, and it does not predict whether or when you will conceive.

  • The markers depend on cycle timing, which is why the panel is drawn over two visits and each result is read in context.
  • AMH reflects egg quantity, not egg quality or a guarantee of fertility.
  • Fertility involves more than hormones; your doctor reads these alongside your history and, where needed, further tests.
  • Results are meant to inform a discussion with a registered practitioner.
