What this test is
This group of tests measures hormones and proteins that help assess reproductive function and confirm or monitor pregnancy. It can include tests for ovulation, ovarian reserve, pregnancy hormones, and certain prenatal markers. Results are interpreted by a clinician alongside your history and other findings.
What it measures
- Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) — reflects ovarian reserve and pituitary signaling
- Luteinizing hormone (LH) — helps assess ovulation timing and cycle function
- Estradiol — a form of estrogen linked to ovarian activity
- Progesterone — supports evaluation of ovulation and early pregnancy
- Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) — a hormone used to detect and monitor pregnancy
- Anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) — reflects the number of remaining eggs in the ovaries
- Prenatal markers — proteins and hormones screened during pregnancy
What the test involves
Most fertility and pregnancy tests use a standard blood draw from a vein in your arm. Some pregnancy tests use a urine sample collected at the lab or at home.
Why it is often ordered
A clinician may order these tests when you are trying to conceive, when pregnancy is suspected, or to monitor an early pregnancy. They can also be used to evaluate irregular cycles or symptoms that may relate to reproductive hormones.
Preparation
Preparation depends on which specific tests are included, so follow the collection lab's instructions. Ask the lab whether any fasting, timing, or medication adjustments are needed.
How results are reported
Results are reported as numeric values with the laboratory's reference range, and some tests include a qualitative positive or negative interpretation. Reference ranges vary by laboratory, so only your clinician can explain what your results mean for you.

- Whether a referral or insurance is needed for the specific tests
