What's measured
Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
Follicles are small sacs filled with fluid that are found inside a woman's ovaries. One of the hormones that follicles release into the ovaries is FSH. FSH helps to stimulate egg growth in your ovaries.
Luteinizing Hormone (LH)
LH is a hormone that works with FSH to release eggs into your ovaries.
Prolactin
Prolactin is a hormone that plays two key roles during and after pregnancy: regulating milk production and developing breast tissue.
Estradiol
Estradiol contributes to the growth and release of eggs into your ovaries and thickens the lining of your uterus to give the eggs a surface they can attach to.
