What's included in this profile
About this profile
The Menstrual Cycle and Ovulation Control Profile is a comprehensive blood test designed to assess the hormonal balance that regulates ovulation and menstrual health. It evaluates key reproductive, thyroid, and blood markers to help identify underlying causes of irregular cycles, fertility issues, and hormonal imbalances that affect reproductive wellness.
Indications for testing
This profile is recommended for women who are:
– Experiencing irregular, heavy, or absent menstrual cycles.
– Investigating causes of infertility or difficulty conceiving.
– Managing hormonal conditions such as PCOS or premature menopause.
– Suffering from symptoms like fatigue, mood changes, or hormonal fluctuations.
– Monitoring hormonal levels during fertility or assisted reproduction treatments.
What can be detected?
This test provides a detailed assessment of hormonal and physiological factors that influence ovulation and menstrual health:
Hormonal Regulation:
– Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH): Stimulates the development of ovarian follicles; high or low levels can indicate ovarian dysfunction or menopause.
– Luteinising Hormone (LH): Triggers ovulation; imbalance may indicate PCOS or ovulatory disorders.
– Estradiol (E2): A key estrogen hormone that supports endometrial health and regulates the menstrual cycle.
– Progesterone (PRG): Assesses ovulation and luteal phase health, crucial for pregnancy preparation.
– Prolactin (PRL): Elevated levels can affect ovulation, menstrual regularity, and fertility.
Thyroid Function:
– Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH): Evaluates thyroid function; thyroid disorders can disrupt ovulation and menstrual balance.
Blood Health:
– Full Blood Count (FBC): Identifies anaemia, infections, or overall blood health that can influence menstrual and reproductive function.
By assessing these essential markers, this test helps identify hormonal, thyroid, or hematological imbalances contributing to menstrual irregularities or fertility challenges.
Who is this test for?
The Menstrual Cycle and Ovulation Control Profile is ideal for women facing irregular periods, hormonal disturbances, or difficulties conceiving. It also benefits individuals undergoing fertility treatment or managing reproductive health conditions such as PCOS or early menopause.
