Description
Assess Ovarian Health and Fertility Potential
The Ovarian Reserve Blood Panel is a key tool for evaluating a woman’s reproductive health by measuring hormones related to egg quantity and ovarian function. It provides valuable insights for those planning pregnancy, undergoing fertility treatment, or simply wishing to understand their fertility status.
What It Measures
- Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH)
- Reflects the remaining quantity of ovarian follicles (egg supply).
- Levels are relatively stable throughout the menstrual cycle and are a strong indicator of ovarian reserve.
- Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
- Stimulates follicle growth in the ovaries.
- High levels on day 3 of the cycle may indicate reduced ovarian reserve.
- Estradiol (E2)
- A form of estrogen produced by growing follicles.
- Helps interpret FSH results and provides insight into ovarian function and egg development.
Why It's Important
- Helps evaluate fertility potential and ovarian aging
- Assists in planning for IVF or other fertility treatments
- Useful for assessing early menopause or irregular menstrual cycles
- Supports reproductive decision-making for women at any stage of their fertility journey
Fasting Requirements
- Not required — this test can be completed at any time of day.
