Fertility and pregnancy testing uses a blood sample to check hormones and other markers linked to conception, early pregnancy, or an ongoing pregnancy. It is ordered when someone is trying to conceive, has irregular cycles, or needs confirmation or monitoring of a pregnancy.

What it measures

  • hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) — A hormone made during pregnancy; used to detect or track a pregnancy.
  • Progesterone — A hormone that supports the uterine lining and early pregnancy.
  • FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) — Helps signal the ovaries to prepare an egg each cycle.
  • LH (luteinizing hormone) — Surges before ovulation and helps time the release of an egg.
  • Estradiol — A form of estrogen that reflects ovarian activity.
  • Prolactin or TSH — Hormones that can affect ovulation when out of range.

Who it is for

A clinician such as a primary care provider, ob-gyn, or fertility specialist orders these tests. They may be used for someone trying to conceive, having irregular periods, or needing pregnancy monitoring.

Preparation

Preparation depends on which markers are checked; some are timed to your cycle, and fasting may be requested for certain panels. Often no special preparation is needed, so follow the instructions from your clinician or lab.

Results and what they mean

Results are reported as measured levels with a reference range, and sometimes as a trend over time. A clinician interprets them alongside your history, symptoms, and other tests. This is general information, not medical advice; discuss your results with a qualified clinician.
