Women’s Hormone Test Panel – Expanded

About the Test

This blood test measures key hormone levels that influence many aspects of your health, including:

  • Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
  • Luteinizing hormone (LH)
  • Estradiol
  • Progesterone
  • Total testosterone
  • Unconjugated DHEA
  • Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)
  • Free T4 and Free T3
  • Thyroid peroxidase (TPO) antibodies
  • Prolactin

Hormones naturally fluctuate, but imbalances can impact your menstrual cycle, fertility, metabolism, mood, sleep, and more. This panel can help uncover causes of symptoms like irregular periods, difficulty ovulating, or unexplained health changes.

One potential cause of hormonal imbalance is Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)—the most common hormone-related condition in women of reproductive age. It affects 8–13% of women, yet up to 70% remain undiagnosed.

Understanding your hormone levels may help you and your healthcare provider determine next steps, identify any underlying conditions, and develop a care plan tailored to your needs.

What to Expect During Testing

Preparation

If you have a period during your cycle, it is best to have your sample collected on cycle day 2, 3, or 4 (cycle day 1 is the first day of your period). If you do not get your period, the test can be performed at your convenience. Morning sample collection is preferred. Fasting (not eating or drinking anything except water) for 8-12 hours is required. Certain supplements and medications can interfere with your test results. If you are concerned about any of your supplements or medications impacting your results, talk to your healthcare provider before your sample is collected to see if you should stop taking them and for how long.

Blood Sample

This women’s hormone panel measures hormone levels in your blood that are commonly evaluated by healthcare providers to diagnose PCOS and other similar hormone problems. Each test in this panel helps you and your healthcare provider assess: ovulatory dysfunction, androgen excess, and differential diagnosis.

Ovulatory dysfunction

Ovulatory dysfunction is when a woman’s menstrual cycle doesn’t follow the typical pattern, or if her period is missing completely (known as amenorrhea). In ovulatory dysfunction, reproductive hormone problems are less common than other causes of irregular cycles, which should be ruled out by your healthcare provider (eg menopause). Below is a list of how the biomarkers measured on this panel generally function in individuals who are assigned female at birth (AFAB).

  • Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
  • Luteinizing Hormone (LH)
  • Estradiol
  • Progesterone
  • Androgen excess

Androgens are sex hormones that signal the body to have “male” characteristics. Hyperandrogenism is when there is too much of an androgen in the body and can cause issues like extra facial and body hair growth for women. Testing for excess androgens helps identify hormone issues when the other signs aren’t clear or present.

  • Testosterone, Total
  • DHEA, Unconjugated
  • Differential diagnosis (other causes of menstrual irregularities)

Other health conditions share many of the same signs and symptoms with hormone issues and should be evaluated by a healthcare provider. The following hormones are included in this panel to help identify other possible causes of irregular periods:

  • Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
  • Free T4
  • Free T3
  • Thyroid Peroxidase (TPO) Antibodies
  • Prolactin

After you provide your specimen, it generally takes a few business days to process and release your test results. However, processing times may vary. Your test results will be available in a clear and easy-to-read report. If your results differ from expected ranges, you may receive an alert call from an independent healthcare coordinator. Independent physicians are available to discuss questions or concerns you may have regarding your results.
