Fertility Blood Tests in Delhi

Why Are Blood Tests Important for Fertility?

Fertility depends on a delicate balance of hormones and reproductive function. Blood tests help:

• Evaluate ovarian reserve to understand egg supply.
• Determine if ovulation is occurring regularly.
• Identify hormonal imbalances affecting fertility (FSH, LH, AMH, TSH, prolactin, progesterone).
• Check male hormone levels (testosterone, FSH, LH) when male fertility issues are suspected.
• Rule out thyroid or pituitary issues that could impact conception.

These blood tests act as a roadmap, helping your fertility specialist choose the most effective treatment strategy for you.

Key Tests & What They Tell You

Female Fertility Blood Tests

• FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone): Checked on day 3 of the menstrual cycle. Helps assess ovarian reserve and function.
• LH (Luteinizing Hormone): Checked on day 3 of the menstrual cycle. Helps in evaluating ovulation and menstrual cycle regularity.
• Estradiol (E2): Measured on day 3. Provides insight into ovarian function.
• AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone): Assesses ovarian reserve (how many eggs are left).
• Progesterone: Checked about a week after ovulation (day 21 in a typical 28-day cycle). Determines whether ovulation has occurred.
• Panel (TSH, Free T3, Free T4): Thyroid dysfunction can affect ovulation and fertility.
• Prolactin: High levels can interfere with ovulation.
• Androgens (Testosterone, DHEA-S): Evaluated if there are signs of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
• Insulin and Glucose Testing: Insulin resistance, especially in PCOS, can impact fertility.
• Vitamin D: Low levels may be associated with infertility.

Male Fertility Blood Tests

• FSH and LH: Evaluates sperm production and overall testicular function.
• Testosterone: Measures the level of male sex hormone critical for sperm production.
• Prolactin: High levels may be linked to fertility problems.
• TSH and Thyroid Panel: Checks thyroid function, as it can affect sperm health.
• Semen Analysis (not a blood test, but important): Checks sperm count, motility, and morphology.
