- What is a fertility blood test?
- A fertility blood test is a panel of hormone tests that evaluate your ovarian reserve, hormonal balance, thyroid function, and metabolic health. It helps you understand your fertility potential and identify any issues that may affect conception.
- What hormones are tested in a fertility panel?
- Depending on the package, we test AMH (egg reserve), FSH, LH, Estradiol, Prolactin, Progesterone, DHEAS, Testosterone Total, TSH, Free T3, Free T4, and HOMA-IR (insulin resistance). The Bloom Starter covers 3 key hormones (AMH, TSH, Prolactin), while the Bloom Complete covers all 12.
- What is AMH and why is it important?
- AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone) is the single most important marker for ovarian reserve — it tells you how many eggs you have left. Unlike other hormones, AMH stays relatively stable throughout your cycle, making it a reliable indicator of your fertility timeline.
- When should I get a fertility blood test?
- The Bloom Complete packages should be done on Day 2 or Day 3 of your menstrual cycle (Day 1 = first day of period), and you need to fast for 8-10 hours before the test since HOMA-IR requires fasting blood glucose and insulin levels. The Bloom Starter can be done on any day of your cycle, with no fasting required.
