What's included in this test?

FSH

Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland that plays a vital role in the reproductive systems of both men and women. In women, FSH helps stimulate the growth and development of follicles in the ovaries during the first half of the menstrual cycle. As follicles grow, they increase the levels of oestradiol, a hormone important for ovulation. One of these follicles eventually becomes dominant and is released during ovulation, after which FSH levels decrease in the second half of the cycle. In men, FSH acts on the seminiferous tubules of the testicles to promote the maturation of immature sperm cells into mature sperm.

Sampling special instructions

Prepare for your Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) Blood Test by following the instructions included in your kit. Ideally, schedule the test two to five days after the start of your menstrual period, specifically targeting day three. If you do not experience periods, the test can be taken at any convenient time. It's important to note that hormonal contraception can potentially influence the test results, so it is recommended to temporarily discontinue hormonal contraception and rely on barrier contraception for a more accurate assessment. Refrain from taking biotin supplements for two days prior to the test, and if you have any concerns or specific instructions regarding biotin intake, consult with your doctor. These guidelines will help ensure the reliability and accuracy of your FSH Blood Test.
