What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're tracking ovarian function, going through fertility treatment, or are pregnant and want additional information about your Down syndrome screening risk. It's often used alongside other markers to see how your ovaries are responding to fertility medications like hMG or FSH. It can also help fill in the picture during prenatal screening when combined with other blood markers.

What's included in this test?

This test measures a single hormone called Inhibin A, which is made by the ovaries and, during pregnancy, by the placenta. It matters because it reflects how your ovaries are functioning or responding to fertility stimulation, and in pregnancy it's one of several markers used to assess Down syndrome risk more accurately.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will show up in your account with your Inhibin A value and an explanation of what's considered a normal range for your situation. Depending on why you're testing, next steps might include adjusting fertility medication timing, retesting during your treatment cycle, or discussing your prenatal screening results as part of a larger risk picture. You can download a standard lab report from your account at any time, and if you test more than once, the trends feature lets you see how your levels change over time. If your value is far outside the expected range, consider seeking medical care promptly.

How can I naturally support ovarian and hormone health?

Getting enough sleep, managing stress, and eating a balanced diet with healthy fats can support overall hormone balance. Regular moderate exercise and maintaining a healthy weight also help keep reproductive hormones working smoothly. Avoiding smoking and limiting alcohol are two of the most impactful changes you can make for ovarian health.

When will I get my results?

Results are typically ready within about 7 days of your blood draw. Once processed, they'll be uploaded directly to your account where you can view and download them.

Who should consider this test?

This test is a good fit for people undergoing fertility treatment who want to track ovarian response to stimulation medications, and for pregnant individuals whose prenatal screening includes Inhibin A as part of a multi-marker panel. It may also be useful if you're monitoring ovarian function for other reproductive health reasons.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

You might consider this test if you're having trouble conceiving, have irregular cycles, or are undergoing monitored fertility treatment where your care involves checking ovarian hormone response. If you're pregnant, your prenatal screening protocol may call for this test regardless of symptoms.

What does a high Inhibin A level mean?

In a fertility treatment context, a higher Inhibin A level can mean your ovaries are responding actively to stimulation medication. During pregnancy, a higher-than-expected level is one of the markers factored into a Down syndrome risk calculation, though it doesn't diagnose anything on its own. Any unexpected high result should be looked at alongside your other screening markers and history.

What does a low Inhibin A level mean?

A lower Inhibin A level during fertility treatment may suggest a weaker ovarian response to stimulation medication, which could affect treatment planning. In pregnancy, it's considered together with other markers rather than on its own. If your level is low, retesting or reviewing it alongside your full panel gives the clearest picture.

How often should I retest?

If you're in a fertility treatment cycle, your monitoring schedule will determine how often Inhibin A is checked, often every few days during active stimulation. In pregnancy, this is typically a one-time screening test done during a specific window. Outside of these contexts, retesting isn't usually needed unless you're tracking a specific change in ovarian function.
