Find the women's hormone test that fits your question

Each of these answers a different question about your hormones — from a broad panel to one marker.

Hormone testing for women measures reproductive hormones such as estradiol, progesterone, FSH, LH, and testosterone, with some options also measuring thyroid hormones, cortisol, or related health measurements. People often compare these tests when menstrual patterns change, menopausal symptoms arise, fertility questions are being discussed, or they want baseline information before a professional appointment. Start by deciding whether you need a focused measurement, such as progesterone or AMH, or a panel that places reproductive hormones alongside thyroid, metabolic, or blood-count results.

How reproductive hormone measurements relate

Estradiol is a primary estrogen measured in several options and is often considered alongside FSH and LH, two pituitary hormones involved in ovarian signaling. Progesterone is another reproductive hormone whose meaning depends heavily on menstrual-cycle timing. Total and free testosterone, DHEA-S, and sex hormone-binding globulin add information about androgen activity; sex hormone-binding globulin affects how much testosterone circulates in a bound form. The Women’s Hormone Health Checkup combines estradiol, progesterone, FSH, LH, and free and total testosterone with cortisol and thyroid testing. A result is most useful when cycle day, symptoms, and relevant medical history are reviewed together.

When added thyroid and general measurements help

Symptoms that prompt hormone questions can overlap with changes in thyroid function, blood sugar regulation, nutrition, or general health. The Women’s Hormone Health Checkup measures TSH, total T4, T3 uptake, and a free T4 index alongside vitamin D, vitamin B12, cholesterol fractions, triglycerides, and a complete blood count. The Female Hormone Optimization Panel adds free T3, free T4, hemoglobin A1C, IGF-1, cortisol, DHEA-S, and sex hormone-binding globulin. These measurements do not identify one cause by themselves, but they give a professional more information when discussing symptoms and hormone results.

Focused tests versus multi-measurement panels

A focused option answers one defined measurement question. The Progesterone test measures progesterone alone, while Estradiol, Ultrasensitive, LC/MS/MS measures estradiol alone. Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH), Female measures AMH, a marker commonly used in discussions about ovarian reserve; it does not diagnose infertility or predict a pregnancy outcome on its own. For menopausal-transition questions, the Menopause Panel measures estradiol, FSH, LH, and total testosterone, along with blood counts and standard chemistry measurements. When comparing panels, select the one whose listed measurements match the question you and your healthcare professional are evaluating.

Female Hormones FAQ

Hormone testing for women measures selected reproductive and related hormones rather than one single “female hormone.” Available panels measure estradiol, progesterone, FSH, LH, and testosterone; some also include DHEA-S, cortisol, thyroid hormones, or sex hormone-binding globulin. The measurements selected should reflect the question being evaluated, such as cycle changes, menopausal transition, or a fertility discussion.

Estradiol, FSH, and LH are often viewed together because they reflect connected ovarian and pituitary signaling. Estradiol is an estrogen, while FSH and LH are pituitary hormones involved in the menstrual cycle. Their relationship varies across the cycle, so the collection date and cycle timing matter when a professional interprets the results.

The Women’s Hormone Health Checkup adds progesterone, cortisol, thyroid measurements, vitamin D, vitamin B12, cholesterol and triglyceride measurements, and free testosterone to the Women's Hormone Light Test’s estradiol, FSH, LH, and total testosterone. Both also include blood counts and standard chemistry measurements. The larger panel suits a question that also involves thyroid or metabolic results.

Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH), Female measures AMH, a hormone commonly used as one piece of an ovarian reserve discussion. AMH does not measure whether ovulation is occurring in a given cycle, and it does not diagnose infertility or determine the chance of pregnancy by itself. Fertility history, age, cycle information, and other clinical findings remain important.

The Progesterone test is useful when the question is specifically about progesterone rather than a full hormone profile. Progesterone values change substantially during the menstrual cycle, so timing is central to interpreting the number. A clinician or other qualified professional can help determine whether the collection timing fits the reason for testing.

The Female Comprehensive Hormone Panel measures estradiol, progesterone, total estrogen, DHEA-S, free and total testosterone, TSH, free T3, and pregnenolone. It also includes cholesterol and triglyceride measurements, blood counts, and standard chemistry results. Those added results help place hormone values alongside thyroid signaling and general measurements that can be relevant to a broader health discussion.

Thyroid results are included because concerns such as fatigue or cycle changes can overlap with thyroid-related symptoms. The Women’s Hormone Health Checkup measures TSH, total T4, T3 uptake, and free T4 index, while the Female Hormone Optimization Panel measures TSH, free T4, and free T3. These results require interpretation with symptoms and medical history rather than a single hormone value.

Total testosterone reports the overall amount measured in blood, while free testosterone estimates the portion not bound to proteins. Sex hormone-binding globulin, measured in the Female Hormone Optimization Panel, helps interpret this relationship because it binds testosterone in circulation. Looking at these values together is more informative than treating either result as a stand-alone explanation for symptoms.

The Menopause Panel does not diagnose menopause by itself. It measures estradiol, FSH, LH, and total testosterone, plus blood counts and standard chemistry measurements, which can support a discussion of menopausal-transition symptoms. Hormone values fluctuate, particularly during the transition, so menstrual history and symptoms are important parts of professional interpretation.
