Female Hormone Blood Test Panel (Basic) in Tennessee

A female hormone blood test panel (basic) is a group of blood tests that measures several hormones involved in the menstrual cycle and reproductive health. It is often ordered to help evaluate irregular periods, fertility concerns, or symptoms that may relate to hormone levels.

What it measures

Estradiol — A form of estrogen made mainly by the ovaries; helps assess ovarian function.
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) — A pituitary hormone that signals the ovaries; used to gauge ovarian activity.
Luteinizing hormone (LH) — A pituitary hormone that triggers ovulation; measured with FSH.
Progesterone — A hormone that rises after ovulation; helps show whether ovulation occurred.
Prolactin — A pituitary hormone that can affect menstrual cycles when elevated.
Testosterone (total) — An androgen present in women; high levels can cause certain symptoms.

Who it is for

A clinician such as a primary care provider, gynecologist, or fertility specialist typically orders this panel. It may be requested for irregular periods, suspected hormone imbalance, or fertility evaluation.

Preparation

Preparation depends on which hormones are measured and the reason for testing. Some tests require a specific day of the menstrual cycle or morning collection, while others need no special preparation; follow your clinician's instructions.

Results and what they mean

Results are reported as individual hormone levels with reference ranges, which can vary by lab, age, and cycle timing. A clinician interprets the numbers alongside your symptoms and history. This is general information only and not medical advice; discuss your results with a qualified healthcare professional.
