Ulta Lab Tests

Infertility for Women

Women’s infertility testing evaluates ovulation, ovarian reserve, hormones, thyroid function, and other health factors that affect the ability to conceive and carry a pregnancy. Because several issues can overlap—irregular ovulation, diminished reserve, thyroid or prolactin problems, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), tubal disease, endometriosis, and metabolic health—an organized lab plan helps you and your clinician find the most actionable next steps.

A proactive approach begins with ovulation and ovarian reserve testing (mid-luteal progesterone, AMH, and day-3 FSH/LH/estradiol), then layers thyroid (TSH ± Free T4) and prolactin. If cycles are irregular or PCOS is suspected, add androgens (total/free testosterone, DHEA-S), SHBG, and 17-hydroxyprogesterone, plus A1c/fasting insulin and lipids. In selected cases, clinicians order infection or genetic tests and miscarriage-risk panels. Labs support screening, diagnostic triage, and monitoring, but they do not replace a clinician’s exam, transvaginal ultrasound, tubal imaging (HSG), or partner evaluation.

Signs, Symptoms & Related Situations

  • Cycle & ovulation: irregular or absent periods, short cycles, spotting before menses, positive LH kits without predictable timing

  • PCOS-type clues: acne, unwanted hair growth, scalp hair thinning, weight gain, insulin resistance or prediabetes

  • Thyroid & prolactin: fatigue, cold intolerance, hair loss, galactorrhea (milk discharge), headaches or visual changes

  • Pelvic & reproductive history: painful periods or sex (endometriosis concern), prior pelvic infection/PID, ectopic pregnancy, fibroids, uterine surgery, chemotherapy or pelvic radiation

  • Pregnancy loss: two or more miscarriages, stillbirth, or failed transfers in assisted reproduction

  • Lifestyle & meds: high-intensity training with low body weight, significant stress, tobacco/cannabis, heavy alcohol, chronic opioids

  • Seek urgent care now: severe pelvic pain with dizziness/fainting, heavy bleeding, fever with pelvic pain, or signs of ectopic pregnancy

All symptoms and risks should be evaluated by a qualified clinician.

Why These Tests Matter

What testing can do

  • Confirm ovulation and timing (mid-luteal progesterone)

  • Estimate ovarian reserve for planning (AMH; day-3 FSH/estradiol)

  • Identify endocrine drivers of infertility (thyroid disease, hyperprolactinemia, PCOS-related androgens/insulin resistance)

  • Assess systemic factors that affect fertility and pregnancy health (A1c, lipids, CBC/CMP)

  • Clarify miscarriage risk patterns (antiphospholipid antibodies in selected cases)

What testing cannot do

  • Guarantee pregnancy or replace imaging for the uterus and tubes (ultrasound, HSG, sonohysterography)

  • Diagnose endometriosis, tubal blockage, or uterine anomalies on blood tests alone

  • Use AMH to predict natural conception chances precisely; it is best used to estimate ovarian response for treatment planning

  • Replace partner testing; a semen analysis is essential in a couple’s evaluation

What These Tests Measure (at a glance)

  • Ovulation

    • Progesterone (mid-luteal): drawn about 7 days before your expected period; patterns consistent with ovulation support timing.

  • Ovarian reserve

    • AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone): reflects the remaining follicle pool; useful for planning and expected response to ovarian stimulation.

    • Day-3 FSH, LH, Estradiol: higher FSH and/or estradiol on cycle day 3 may suggest lower reserve; interpret together.

  • Pituitary & thyroid

    • Prolactin: elevated levels can suppress ovulation.

    • TSH ± Free T4: thyroid imbalance can affect cycles, ovulation, and pregnancy outcomes.

  • PCOS & adrenal/androgen profile

    • Total/Free Testosterone, SHBG, DHEA-S, 17-Hydroxyprogesterone: evaluate androgen excess and rule out nonclassic CAH (clinician-directed).

  • Metabolic health

    • A1c/fasting glucose ± fasting insulin, lipid panel (± ApoB), CMP, CBC, Vitamin D for whole-health context.

  • Miscarriage-risk (selected cases)

    • Antiphospholipid antibodies (lupus anticoagulant, anticardiolipin, β2-glycoprotein I).

  • Infections & pre-ART safety (as directed)

    • STI NAATs, HIV, hepatitis B/C, syphilis; immunity titers (e.g., rubella/varicella) per clinician.

Timing tips: AMH can be drawn any cycle day. Day-3 means the third day of bleeding. Mid-luteal progesterone is ~7 days before your next period (not always “day-21”).

How the Testing Process Works

  1. Plan your timing: schedule AMH any day; day-3 FSH/LH/E2 on cycle day 3; progesterone ~7 days before your expected period (or 7 days after ovulation if you track it).

  2. Prepare as directed: fasting only if your order includes fasting glucose/insulin or lipids. List all medicines and supplements (biotin can interfere with some assays).

  3. Provide samples: standard blood draw; add STI or immunity tests if ordered.

  4. Combine with clinical tools: results are interpreted with history, exam, ultrasound, and—when needed—tubal imaging. Partner testing is part of a complete workup.

  5. Monitor trends: repeat key markers to confirm abnormalities or track the impact of lifestyle or clinical changes.

Interpreting Results (General Guidance)

  • Progesterone pattern consistent with ovulation: confirms you’re releasing an egg; align timing with your cycle or LH kits.

  • AMH and day-3 FSH/E2 together: help estimate ovarian reserve for planning and expected response to stimulation; they do not guarantee natural fertility.

  • Elevated prolactin or abnormal TSH: can disrupt ovulation; requires clinician evaluation.

  • Androgen elevations with metabolic changes: support a PCOS pattern; clinicians integrate ultrasound and criteria.

  • A1c/insulin, lipids, or liver enzymes off-range: metabolic risks can affect cycles and pregnancy health.
    Always interpret patterns with a qualified healthcare professional; trends and context matter more than a single value.

Choosing Panels vs. Individual Tests

  • Core female infertility panel: AMH • Day-3 FSH/LH/Estradiol • Mid-luteal Progesterone • TSH • Prolactin

  • PCOS/irregular cycle add-ons: Total/Free Testosterone • SHBG • DHEA-S • 17-OH-Progesterone • A1c/Insulin • Lipids

  • Miscarriage-risk add-on (selected): Antiphospholipid antibodies

  • Whole-health add-ons: A1c • Lipids (± ApoB) • CBC/CMP • Vitamin D • STI screens
    Choose bundled panels for efficiency and consistent trending; add individual markers to answer specific questions.

FAQs

When should I start infertility testing?
If you’re <35, after 12 months of trying; if ≥35, after 6 months; if ≥40 or cycles are very irregular, seek evaluation earlier.

Which day should I get labs?
AMH any day; day-3 FSH/LH/E2 on day 3 of bleeding; progesterone about 7 days before your next period (or 7 days after ovulation).

Does AMH tell me if I can get pregnant naturally?
No. AMH estimates ovarian reserve and likely response to stimulation. It doesn’t predict natural conception by itself.

Can blood tests find blocked tubes or endometriosis?
No. Those need imaging (HSG, ultrasound) and sometimes laparoscopy.

Do I need to fast?
Only if your order includes fasting insulin/glucose or lipids.

Can birth control affect results?
Hormonal contraception and ovarian-suppressing medicines can shift some values. Ask your clinician about timing labs after stopping.

Should my partner be tested too?
Yes. A semen analysis is part of a complete couple’s evaluation.

Read About Female Infertility & Lab Tests

Infertility is the inability to conceive naturally after a minimum of 12 months of planned and unprotected intercourse (6 months if the women’s age is above 35).

Female infertility tests help in diagnosing the cause of infertility and in treating them appropriately. While there are multiple infertility tests available, starting with the non-invasive ones is a good idea.  

What are the common risk factors for infertility?

The following factors can aggravate the risk of infertility in women.

  • Age (women above 35 years are at higher risk).
  • Lifestyle habits (alcoholism, substance abuse, excessive smoking, etc.).
  • Weight issues (underweight and obesity).
  • Mental disorders such as stress and depression.
  • Underlying health issues such as sexually transmitted diseases, diabetes, thyroid issues, etc.
  • Women undergoing treatments like radiation therapy for cancer are at a higher risk of infertility.

Causes of Female Infertility 

The most important cause of infertility in women is related to ovulation. Other common reasons are damage to the fallopian tube or uterus and cervical problems. Different female infertility tests can be done to diagnose these conditions.

Problems Related to Ovulation

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): Women with PCOS experience erratic or prolonged menstrual periods. The ovaries develop numerous follicles and refuse to release eggs regularly. The hormonal imbalance caused by PCOS can lead to female infertility. PCOS is also associated with insulin resistance and obesity.

Premature Ovarian Failure: Premature ovarian failure can be caused by two main reasons, early loss of eggs due to a genetic condition or chemotherapy or an autoimmune response. The condition can occur as early as 40 years of age.

Thyroid Malfunctioning: The pituitary gland of the thyroid system produces two hormones that stimulate the ovary every month. The two hormones are Follicle-stimulating hormone and Luteinizing hormone (LH). Insufficient production of the hormones leads to infertility in women. Stress, obesity, physical strain, and substantial weight loss can affect hormone production.

Excess Prolactin (hyperprolactinemia): Prolactin is one of the hormones produced by the pituitary gland. Excess production of prolactin can cease menstruation or cause irregular menstruation. High levels of prolactin can also cause lowered progesterone levels in some women.

Problems Related to the Fallopian Tube and Uterus

The fallopian tubes connect the ovaries to the womb. Damaged fallopian tubes can be due to the following reasons.

  • Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (infection of the upper genital tract).
  • Scarring of the fallopian tubes due to surgeries.
  • Fibroids can block the fallopian tube and prevent the fertilized egg from attaching itself to the womb.
  • An abnormally shaped uterus.
  • Congenital disabilities in the fallopian tubes and uterus.

Female infertility tests can be used to detect the exact reason behind the damage.

Problems Related to Cervix

During ovulation, the cervical mucus is thinner to enable the sperm to swim efficiently. Abnormal cervical mucus can stop the sperm from reaching and fertilizing the egg.  Damage to the cervix during surgery or due to hereditary reasons can cause cervical stenosis, which is another cause of infertility.

Signs and Symptoms of Female Infertility?

Inability to conceive naturally is the main symptom of female infertility. A woman with infertility problems may have irregular, painful, or absent periods. Experiencing multiple miscarriages are another critical warning sign of infertility.

Lab Tests for Female Infertility

If you are going through any of the above symptoms for a prolonged period, it is time to consider female infertility tests. Female infertility treatment involves a few tests and examinations.

The first step is an open discussion with your doctor. The doctor may pose questions about your medical history, ongoing treatments, symptoms, use of birth control techniques in the past, and lifestyle practices. The next important step is to get the female infertility tests done with a reliable source. The most significant lab tests for female infertility are,

FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) Testing

Purpose: FSH controls the menstrual cycle and regulates the growth of follicles in the ovary. The test is done to evaluate the supply of eggs and ovarian function.

Procedure: The blood test can be done on the second or third day of your menstrual cycle. 

Estradiol Testing

Purpose: The test measures the circulating levels of estradiol in the body. High levels of estradiol indicate an issue with the ovarian reserve and a suppressing effect on the FSH. Low levels of estradiol may be indicative of PCOS or hypopituitarism.

Procedure: The blood test can be taken on any day during the menstrual cycle.

LH Testing 

Purpose: A luteinizing hormone test is done to track issues with the pituitary gland. The tests may have to be repeated to map the time when the egg is released.

Procedure: While there are at-home LH tests available through drug stores, the accuracy of the test is optimal when taken with the help of professionals.

DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone)

Purpose: DHEA is a hormone secreted by the adrenal glands. It is a precursor to hormones such as testosterone and estrogen. Low levels of DHEA are associated with lowered ovarian reserve and infertility. The test is used in the diagnosis of hirsute or virilized female patients and as well as adrenal tumor.

Procedure: A conventional blood test that can be done with experienced lab technicians.

Ultrasound Tests

Apart from female infertility tests that involve blood work, physical examination of the patients and ultrasounds tests are also done. The tests provide further information about the uterus, endometrial lining, and ovaries.

Irregular uterine shape, a more in-depth evaluation of the ovarian reserve, etc., can be determined through the tests.

The American Society for Reproductive Medicine states that infertility can affect men as much as it can affect women and therefore suggests that both partners should be tested. Visit your doctor with your partner and consider taking male infertility tests such as semen analysis, testosterone testing, etc.

Based on the above tests, the doctor will be able to diagnose the main reason behind infertility. The accuracy of these tests is very critical because they form the basis for the next steps.
