Tests Included and Why They Matter
Pituitary-Testicular Signaling & Sperm-Production Context
FSH and LH
FSH and LH are pituitary hormones that help regulate testicular function. FSH is involved in sperm-production signaling, while LH helps signal testosterone production by the testes.
This test is included because FSH and LH may provide context for pituitary-testicular signaling, sperm-production patterns, low testosterone concerns, and reproductive hormone feedback.
Inhibin B
Inhibin B is a hormone produced by Sertoli cells in the testes and is associated with sperm-production activity.
This test is included because inhibin B may provide additional context for spermatogenesis, sperm-production signaling, and testicular function. It can add value when a broader fertility evaluation is desired.
Prolactin
Prolactin is a pituitary hormone that can affect reproductive hormone signaling.
This test is included because prolactin may provide context for low libido, erectile function concerns, testosterone changes, fertility concerns, or pituitary hormone disruption. Prolactin can be influenced by stress, sleep, medications, illness, and timing of collection.
Testosterone, Estradiol & Adrenal Hormone Context
Testosterone, Total and Free and Sex Hormone Binding Globulin
This test evaluates total testosterone, free testosterone, and SHBG.
Testosterone is included because it plays an important role in libido, energy, muscle mass, mood, reproductive function, and male hormone balance. Free testosterone and SHBG help provide a deeper view of testosterone availability because total testosterone alone may not fully explain symptoms.
Estradiol, Ultrasensitive LC/MS/MS
Estradiol is a major form of estrogen and is produced in men partly through conversion of testosterone.
This ultrasensitive test is included because estradiol may provide context for libido, erectile function, mood, body composition, breast tenderness, water retention, fertility-related hormone patterns, and testosterone interpretation. An ultrasensitive method is preferred because men typically have lower estradiol levels than women.
DHEA Sulfate, Immunoassay
DHEA-S is an adrenal androgen marker.
This test is included because DHEA-S may provide context for adrenal androgen patterns, energy, libido, stress physiology, aging-related hormone changes, DHEA supplementation, and overall reproductive hormone balance.
Thyroid Function & Reproductive Wellness
TSH
TSH is a key thyroid screening marker.
This test is included because thyroid function may influence metabolism, energy, reproductive wellness, hormone balance, and fertility planning. TSH is useful when fertility concerns overlap with fatigue, weight changes, cold intolerance, constipation, low mood, or thyroid-related symptoms.
Blood Sugar, Insulin Resistance & Metabolic Fertility Context
Hemoglobin A1c
Hemoglobin A1c measures average blood sugar over approximately the past two to three months.
This test is included because long-term blood sugar patterns may provide context for insulin resistance, metabolic wellness, energy, weight, and preconception health.
Insulin
Insulin helps move glucose from the bloodstream into cells.
This test is included because fasting insulin may provide context for insulin resistance, metabolic health, body composition, cravings, energy crashes, and reproductive wellness.
Comprehensive Metabolic Panel, CMP
The CMP evaluates glucose, liver function, kidney function, electrolytes, calcium, albumin, total protein, and other metabolic markers.
This test is included because fertility and reproductive health review benefits from a broad wellness baseline. CMP results may provide context for glucose, liver enzymes, kidney markers, electrolytes, calcium, albumin, protein status, hydration, and metabolic health.
Inflammation, Lipids & Cardiometabolic Context
hs-CRP
High-sensitivity C-reactive protein is a marker of low-grade inflammation.
This test is included because inflammation may provide context for metabolic wellness, cardiovascular risk, fertility planning, recovery, and general health.
Lipid Panel with Ratios
The Lipid Panel with Ratios evaluates cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL, LDL, and cholesterol ratios.
This test is included because lipid and cardiometabolic patterns may provide useful context for metabolic wellness, hormone balance, body composition, and preconception health.
Blood Health, Iron Status & Oxygen Delivery
CBC, includes Differential and Platelets
The CBC evaluates red blood cells, white blood cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit, platelets, and white blood cell types.
This test is included because general blood health may matter when reviewing fatigue, anemia-related patterns, immune activity, infection clues, platelet patterns, and overall wellness during reproductive planning.
Ferritin
Ferritin measures stored iron.
This test is included because ferritin may provide context for iron storage, fatigue, inflammation, liver/metabolic patterns, and general wellness. It should be interpreted with iron/TIBC and inflammation markers.
Iron and Total Iron Binding Capacity, TIBC
Iron and TIBC help evaluate circulating iron and iron transport capacity.
This test is included because iron availability may provide context for oxygen delivery, fatigue, anemia patterns, low stamina, and iron balance.
Nutrient & Mineral Support
Vitamin D, 25-Hydroxy, Total, Immunoassay
Vitamin D testing measures 25-hydroxyvitamin D status.
This test is included because vitamin D may provide context for reproductive wellness, hormone health, immune function, bone health, muscle function, and general preconception health.
Vitamin B12 and Folate Panel, Serum
This panel measures vitamin B12 and folate.
Vitamin B12 and folate support red blood cell production, nerve function, DNA synthesis, methylation, and general reproductive wellness. These nutrients may be relevant when fatigue, restricted diet, nerve symptoms, or preconception nutrition are part of the discussion.
Magnesium
Magnesium supports muscle function, nerve signaling, glucose metabolism, blood pressure regulation, sleep, and energy production.
This test is included because magnesium status may provide context for energy, metabolic wellness, muscle function, sleep, and overall reproductive health.
Zinc
Zinc supports testosterone pathways, immune function, antioxidant activity, wound healing, and male reproductive wellness.
This test is included because zinc is commonly reviewed in male fertility, hormone, immune, and reproductive wellness discussions.
Selenium
Selenium supports antioxidant enzymes and thyroid-related pathways.
This test is included because selenium may provide antioxidant and thyroid-support context in male fertility and preconception wellness.
Urine Health & Reflex Culture Context
Urinalysis, Complete, with Reflex to Culture
A complete urinalysis evaluates urine markers such as protein, blood, glucose, ketones, specific gravity, pH, and other urine findings. If urinalysis findings meet reflex criteria, a urine culture may be performed.
This test is included because urine health may provide useful context when reproductive concerns overlap with urinary symptoms, infection concerns, inflammation, or general wellness.
Reflex Test Notice: If reflex urine culture is performed, additional charges may apply.
Professional Reflex Testing Notice
This panel includes Urinalysis, Complete, with Reflex to Culture. Reflex testing means the laboratory may automatically perform additional testing when initial findings meet specific criteria.
If reflex urine culture is performed, additional charges may apply. Reflex results should be reviewed with a licensed healthcare provider.
