Test Description	Price
Luteinising Hormone – LH LH is a gonadotrophin – a hormone that is released from the pituitary gland *Controls the length and sequence of the female menstrual cycle *Prepares the Uterus for implantation of the fertilised egg	£39
Follicle Stimulating Hormone – FSH FSH is a gonadotrophin – a hormone that is secreted by the Pituitary Gland * FSH stimulates the growth and recruitment of immature ovarian follicles in the ovary. * FSH and LH work together in the reproductive system	£39
Oestradiol – OEST Oestradiol is a hormone produced in the ovaries *Oestradiol is the most potent of the 3 naturally produced oestrogens *Oestrogens are responsible for the development of female sex organs and secondary sex characteristics *Oestrogen plays a key role in the female cycle and the interplay between LH and FSH – therefore by measuring oestradiol levels and evaluation can be given for ovarian function	£39
Progesterone – PROG Progesterone is a endogenous hormone produced in small quantities within the ovaries and adrenal glands *Progesterone regulates the monthly menstrual cycle * Progesterone prepares the body for conception *Progesterone maintains and supports pregnancy	£39
Prolactin -PROL Prolactin is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland. *Prolactin is a regulator of many hormones *Prolactin’s main function in females is the stimulation of reproductive breast development and milk production. *High levels of Prolactin is known to be linked to absent or irregular menstruation and/or infertility	£39
HCG HCG is a unique hormone only detected in pregnancy it is produced by the placenta as early as 6 days after fertilisation. HCG maintains the function of the corpus luteal and levels help to determine the viability of the pregnancy and helps to rule out abnormalities such as ectopic.	£45
Anti-Mullerian Hormone – AMH Useful to assess if the ovarian reserve (viable eggs) is in the normal range for your age category *Anti-Mullerian Hormone is produced in the ovarian follicles (small fluid filled sacs where the eggs develop) *Testing does have limitations (for example it cannot confirm the actual number of viable eggs) but a low result should be referred for further investigations	£79
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome – PCOS – Short PCOS is a complex hormone disorder affecting approximately 1:10 women *PCOS can cause a range of symptoms or just one but ladies experiencing irregular, heavy or missed periods, lack of ovulation and infertility may wish to be checked *A blood test alone is not a definitive diagnosis but can be followed up by ultrasound/pelvic examination * Tests included are Testosterone, SHBG (sex hormone binding globulin), FAI (free androgen index), FSH, LH, Glucose, Insulin, Lipid Profile, FT4/TSH(thyroid function)	£179
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome – PCOP – Profile As above but a more extensive test list *Tests included are Testosterone, TSH (thyroid function), Glucose, HbA1C (diabetes screen), FSH, DHEAs (evaluation of adrenal function), Insulin, LH, 17 H^progesterone (, Lipid Profile, Prolactin, Cortisol, Antimullerian Hormone, Androstenedione, SHBG	£400
HCG + progesterone – HcG and PROG Descriptions as above, often requested by non-uk clinics post assisted conception	£79
Female Hormone Profile – FIP Often requested prior to commencing assisted conception *Tests included are LH, FSH, Prolactin and Oestradiol	£120
Male Hormone Profile – MIPR Often requested prior to commencing assisted conception *Tests included are FSH, LH, Testosterone, FAI (Free Androgen Index) Prolactin, SHBG (sex hormone binding globulin)	TBC
