A wish to conceive and an upcoming IVF journey often come with plenty of questions. An IVF blood test helps you walk into the conversation with your clinic well prepared, with a number of important blood values in hand.
This panel for women takes a broad look: from your hormones and ovarian reserve to infection serology, your immunity against a few common infections, your blood type and your blood count. In a single draw you gain insight into values that are often requested around an IVF intake.
Why this test?
Before IVF treatment starts, many clinics like to know a number of blood values. A blood test for IVF can give you and your care team insight into your hormonal starting point and into a few infections and immunities that can be relevant around pregnancy.
By having these values drawn all at once, you do not need a separate visit for each part. That can take some of the hassle out of arranging your appointments.
Who is this test for?
This panel is put together for women who are considering IVF or ICSI treatment, or who have already started. Even if you are simply exploring your options around your wish to conceive, an IVF intake blood test can give you a factual starting point.
Every clinic works a little differently. It can therefore be helpful to check in advance which values your clinic likes to see, so you measure exactly the right things.
What is tested?
This extensive panel measures a range of values in your blood:
- AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone): gives an impression of your ovarian reserve, that is, your egg supply.
- FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone): involved in the maturation of follicles and says something about your ovarian function.
- LH (Luteinizing Hormone): plays a role in ovulation and works together with FSH in your cycle.
- Estradiol (E2): an important estrogen that fluctuates with your cycle.
- Prolactin: a hormone that, when elevated, can influence your cycle.
- TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone): gives insight into your thyroid function, which is linked to your fertility.
- HIV 1/2 Antibody + p24 Antigen: screening for antibodies and the p24 antigen that can point to HIV.
- Hepatitis B Surface Antigen: can point to an active hepatitis B infection.
- Hepatitis B Core Antibody: shows whether you have ever been in contact with the hepatitis B virus.
- Hepatitis C Antibody: antibodies that can point to contact with the hepatitis C virus.
- Syphilis Screening: screening for an infection with the syphilis bacterium.
- Chlamydia IgG: antibodies that can point to a past chlamydia infection.
- Rubella IgG: gives insight into your protection (immunity) against rubella.
- Toxoplasmosis IgG: shows whether you have been in contact with the toxoplasmosis parasite before.
- Varicella Zoster: gives insight into your immunity against chickenpox.
- Blood Type + Rh: determines your blood type and your Rhesus factor.
- Complete Blood Count (CBC): gives an overview of your red and white blood cells and platelets.
- D-Dimer: a marker that relates to clotting processes in your blood.
What can this test tell you?
The results can give you insight on several fronts. Your hormone values such as AMH, FSH, LH and estradiol together give an impression of your ovarian reserve and your cycle, while TSH and prolactin can say something about factors that co-influence your fertility.
The infection and immunity markers show whether there are signs of certain infections and whether you appear protected against infections such as rubella, chickenpox and toxoplasmosis. Your blood type and Rhesus factor are good to know around a possible pregnancy. Together these values form separate pieces of the puzzle that your doctor helps to interpret.
How is the sample collected?
This test requires a blood draw at a certified laboratory. In the Netherlands you can choose from 700+ sample points.
After ordering, you pick a location near you and schedule a moment that suits you. The draw itself usually takes only a few minutes. You do not need a referral from your GP.
When is this test useful?
An IVF blood test can be valuable at different moments, for example:
- when you are preparing for IVF or ICSI treatment and want your intake data in order
- when your clinic asks for a number of blood values before treatment begins
- when you are exploring your wish to conceive and want an early picture of your hormones
- when you want to measure again after an earlier treatment
Which values are relevant for you depends on your situation and the way your clinic works.
What do the results mean?
Your result shows a value with a reference range and a short explanation for each marker. What counts as usual varies by laboratory and sometimes by person.
A value inside or outside the range can mean different things, depending on your situation. For the infection and immunity markers it is often a positive or negative result. The doctor helps you place your results in the right context.
Preparation
For part of the hormone values, such as FSH, LH and estradiol, the day of your cycle can influence the result. These are therefore often drawn around the start of your cycle. Discuss with your clinic which moment is suitable for you.
For most other values no special preparation is needed, and you usually do not need to fast. If in doubt, check with your clinic or GP.
What happens after the results?
Your result is usually available online within a few working days. Each value is shown clearly with a reference range and an explanation, so you understand what you see and can take it to your clinic.
Every blood test result includes a professional assessment from a BIG-registered doctor. For treatment decisions, discuss your results with your GP.

What We Test
This test includes 18 biomarkers to give you a comprehensive health picture.
TSH is thyroid-stimulating hormone. The pituitary gland makes it, and uses it to drive your thyroid. At the laboratory that runs the test the usual adult range runs from 0.27 to 4.20 mE/L. A high TSH usually fits an underactive thyroid. A low value usually fits an overactive one. That direction feels inverted, and it is. TSH is the pituitary signal, not the thyroid hormone itself. Laboratories use slightly different limits from one another. Always read the reference value printed on your own result. And a single measurement is never a diagnosis.
Learn moreA prolactin blood test measures the level of prolactin, a pituitary hormone primarily known for its role in lactation. Prolactin also influences reproductive function, immune regulation, and metabolic processes in both men and women.
Learn moreAMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone) is made by the granulosa cells around the small, growing follicles in the ovary. The more of those follicles still waiting in the queue, the higher the value. That is why AMH is used as a measure of ovarian reserve: the size of the remaining egg supply. Unlike FSH and LH, AMH is not driven by the pituitary. The value therefore barely fluctuates within a cycle and can be drawn on any cycle day, without you having to fast. AMH estimates a number, not a quality. It predicts well how the ovaries respond to hormonal stimulation, but says little about the chance of conceiving naturally. It is not a fertility score.
Learn moreEstradiol (E2) is the most potent form of estrogen, playing a key role in reproductive health, bone density, and cardiovascular function. Abnormal levels may indicate hormonal imbalances that your healthcare provider can help evaluate.
Learn moreFollicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is produced by the pituitary gland and plays an essential role in reproductive function. It regulates egg development in women and sperm production in men. Abnormal levels may indicate changes in fertility or hormonal health.
Learn moreAn LH blood test measures luteinizing hormone, a pituitary hormone essential for reproductive function. LH plays a key role in triggering ovulation in women and stimulating testosterone production in men.
Learn moreThe Chlamydia IgG antibody test detects antibodies produced in response to a past Chlamydia trachomatis infection. A positive result indicates prior exposure but cannot distinguish between an active and a previously cleared infection.
Learn moreThe HIV Combo test is a fourth-generation test that detects both HIV p24 antigen and HIV antibodies simultaneously. This dual approach enables earlier detection compared to antibody-only tests, typically within two to six weeks after exposure.
Learn moreThe Syphilis Screening test is a treponemal-based test that detects antibodies specifically directed against Treponema pallidum, the bacterium that causes syphilis. Once positive, this test typically remains positive for life, regardless of treatment.
Learn moreA blood type test determines your ABO blood group and Rh factor. Knowing your blood type is essential for safe blood transfusions, organ transplants, and pregnancy planning.
Learn moreA Hepatitis B Core Antibody (anti-HBc) test detects antibodies produced in response to the core antigen of the hepatitis B virus. A positive result may indicate a current, past, or resolved hepatitis B infection and should be interpreted alongside other hepatitis B markers.
Learn moreA Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg) test detects the presence of HBsAg in your blood, which is one of the earliest indicators of a hepatitis B infection. A positive result may indicate an active hepatitis B infection and should be evaluated by a healthcare professional.
Learn moreA Hepatitis C Antibody (anti-HCV) test detects antibodies produced by the immune system in response to the hepatitis C virus. A positive result indicates exposure to the virus but does not distinguish between a current or past infection. Further testing is needed for confirmation.
Learn moreA Rubella IgG test detects IgG antibodies against the rubella virus in your blood. The presence of IgG antibodies typically indicates immunity to rubella through past infection or successful vaccination.
Learn moreA Toxoplasmosis IgG test detects IgG antibodies against the Toxoplasma gondii parasite in your blood. The presence of IgG antibodies typically indicates a past infection, suggesting that you have been previously exposed and have developed an immune response.
Learn moreA Varicella Zoster test detects antibodies against the varicella-zoster virus (VZV) in your blood. This virus causes chickenpox (varicella) during initial infection and may reactivate later in life as shingles (herpes zoster). Testing helps determine your immunity status.
Learn moreD-Dimer is a fibrin degradation product released when blood clots are broken down. Elevated D-Dimer indicates that clot formation and breakdown (fibrinolysis) is occurring, but it is not specific to any particular condition. It is most commonly used to help rule out venous thromboembolism (DVT/PE).
Learn moreA basic blood count measures three core values in your blood: hemoglobin, white blood cells and platelets. Together they say something about oxygen transport, immune defence and clotting. It is a simple baseline check, without the red-cell indices and white-cell differential of a complete blood count.

Learn moreRelated biomarkers
Biomarkers often explored alongside this test for a fuller picture.
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.
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.
Basophils
Basophils are the least numerous white blood cells in your blood count. In women the same range applies as in men: 0 to 0.2 x10⁹/l. Your cycle and a pregnancy do not change that range. A low or absent result is normal and needs no follow-up. If your basophils are raised, allergy, chronic inflammation and an underactive thyroid are the known causes. That last one is considerably more common in women. Below you can read when a rise is worth checking, and which thyroid test belongs with it.
CMV IgG
A CMV IgG test detects IgG antibodies against cytomegalovirus (CMV) in your blood. A positive result typically indicates a past CMV infection and suggests that your immune system has developed long-term immunity to the virus.
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.
