Hormones
26 markers in this category
17-OH Progesterone
17-OH Progesterone is a steroid hormone that plays an important role in your hormonal balance. It serves as a building block for cortisol and androgens, and its levels may fluctuate throughout your menstrual cycle.
ACTH (Adrenocorticotropic Hormone)
ACTH is a hormone from the pituitary gland that tells your adrenal glands to produce cortisol. Understanding your ACTH levels may offer insights into how your body manages stress and supports your hormonal well-being.
AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone)
The AMH hormone comes from the granulosa cells around the small follicles queued up in your ovaries for a future ovulation. The blood value therefore gives an estimate of your ovarian reserve: how many follicles are still waiting in line. For women thinking about trying to conceive, about freezing eggs or about an IVF pathway, AMH is unusually practical for one reason: the test is not tied to a cycle day. You can have blood drawn at any point in your cycle, and you do not need to fast. Always read the result alongside your age. AMH is a planning number that helps you and your doctor make choices earlier and better informed. It is emphatically not a countdown clock, and not a prediction of whether you can get pregnant.
Androstenedione
Androstenedione is a hormone your body uses to produce both estrogen and testosterone. Understanding your levels may help provide insight into hormonal balance, cycle health, and conditions that could affect your well-being.
Calcitonin
Calcitonin is a thyroid hormone involved in calcium regulation and bone health. For women, understanding calcitonin levels may offer insights into thyroid function and mineral balance, which are important throughout different life stages.
Cortisol
Cortisol plays an important role in women's hormonal balance. Chronic stress may disrupt menstrual cycles, affect fertility, and influence mood. Monitoring supports a comprehensive hormonal health picture.
DHEA-S
DHEA-S serves as a precursor to oestrogen and testosterone in women. Monitoring supports understanding of adrenal health, hormonal balance, and age-related changes.
DHT (Dihydrotestosterone)
DHT is an androgen that, even in small amounts, may influence skin health, hair growth, and hormonal balance in women. Elevated levels could suggest conditions such as PCOS.
Dopamine (Urine)
Dopamine influences mood, motivation, and reward processing. Hormonal fluctuations throughout the menstrual cycle may affect dopamine balance, making monitoring valuable for women's wellness.
Estradiol (E2)
Estradiol (E2) is the primary estrogen guiding your menstrual cycle, fertility, and menopausal transition. Fluctuating levels may indicate changes in ovarian function. Your healthcare provider can help you understand what your results mean for your cycle and overall health.
Estrone (E1)
Estrone (E1) becomes your primary estrogen during and after menopause, produced mainly in fat tissue. Monitoring E1 levels may provide insight into your menopausal transition. Your healthcare provider can help interpret what changes in estrone mean for your health journey.
FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone)
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) drives egg maturation and is a key indicator of ovarian reserve and menopausal status. Rising levels may signal your body is working harder to stimulate ovulation. Your healthcare provider can help you understand what FSH means for your fertility and cycle.
Free Testosterone
Free testosterone is the bioavailable fraction important for women's energy, mood, libido, and muscle tone. While present in smaller amounts than in men, balanced levels support overall wellbeing. Your healthcare provider can help interpret what your free testosterone means for your health.
IGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor)
IGF-1 plays an important role in women's health, supporting bone density, tissue repair, and hormonal balance. Monitoring this growth factor can provide valuable insight into your overall well-being.
IGF-BP3
IGF-BP3 is the main transport protein for IGF-1 and plays a role in bone health and tissue maintenance. For women, monitoring this marker can provide additional context for understanding hormonal and metabolic well-being.
Inhibin B
Inhibin B is produced by developing ovarian follicles and may reflect your ovarian reserve and reproductive potential. This marker is particularly valuable for women exploring fertility or monitoring hormonal health.
LH (Luteinizing Hormone)
LH is a key reproductive hormone that triggers ovulation and supports the menstrual cycle. Monitoring LH can provide valuable insight into your cycle regularity, fertility potential, and overall hormonal balance.
Melatonin
Melatonin regulates your sleep-wake cycle and may influence hormonal balance throughout the menstrual cycle. For women, quality sleep is closely connected to mood, energy, and reproductive health.
PTH (Parathyroid Hormone)
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) helps regulate calcium and phosphorus, which are essential for bone health. For women, PTH balance may be particularly relevant during hormonal transitions such as menopause.
Parathyroid Hormone (intact)
Parathyroid hormone regulates calcium, which is especially important for women's bone health across all life stages. Monitoring PTH can provide insight into bone density maintenance, particularly during and after menopause.
Pregnenolone
Pregnenolone is the precursor to progesterone, estrogen, and other hormones vital to women's health. Monitoring this "mother hormone" can provide foundational insight into your overall hormonal production capacity.
Progesterone
Progesterone is a cornerstone of women's reproductive health, essential for ovulation confirmation, cycle regularity, and pregnancy support. Monitoring progesterone empowers you to understand your hormonal patterns and fertility.
Prolactin
Prolactin is essential for lactation and plays a broader role in menstrual cycle regulation and fertility. Monitoring prolactin can help women understand hormonal factors that may influence their reproductive health and well-being.
SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin)
Sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) is a transport protein that regulates free hormone availability. For women, SHBG levels may fluctuate with hormonal changes and can influence symptoms related to estrogen and testosterone balance.
