FAQs
What is progesterone?
Measuring your progesterone level around seven days before your expected period can help determine whether ovulation has occurred. Progesterone typically rises after ovulation to prepare the body for a pregnancy, with levels usually peaking around day 21 of a standard 28-day cycle. If ovulation hasn’t occurred, progesterone levels will generally remain lower than expected at this point in the cycle.

What are female hormones?
Female hormones are vital not only for reproductive health but also for overall well-being, influencing energy levels, mood, and metabolism.
Oestradiol (E2), the primary form of oestrogen, is produced in the ovaries and plays a central role in the menstrual cycle and fertility. Other key hormones include follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinising hormone (LH), and progesterone. Together, these hormones help regulate the menstrual cycle and support reproductive function.
Testosterone, often thought of as a male hormone, is also important for women. It is used by the body to produce oestrogen and plays a role in maintaining bone and muscle strength, mood, energy levels, and libido.
Hormone levels naturally fluctuate throughout the menstrual cycle and shift with age. As women approach perimenopause and menopause, oestrogen and progesterone levels typically decline, while FSH and LH levels increase in response to these changes.
What are the most important hormones to test for fertility?
Several hormones are key to fertility, as they help regulate the menstrual cycle and support ovulation. These include follicle stimulating hormone, luteinising hormone and oestradiol to gain further insight into reproductive health, it can also be helpful to test levels of testosterone, progesterone, prolactin, DHEA-S, and AMH. Thyroid hormones also play an important role, as imbalances can affect cycle regularity and ovulation.
