What's included in this test?

Oestradiol

Oestradiol is a steroid hormone that is primarily produced in the ovaries of women and to a lesser extent in the testes of men. It is one of three types of estrogen and has important functions in regulating the female reproductive system, as well as promoting breast tissue growth and maintaining bone density. Oestradiol levels naturally fluctuate throughout the menstrual cycle, peaking at ovulation in pre-menopausal women. As women age, their oestradiol levels decrease and eventually stop altogether with menopause. Low levels of oestradiol can lead to symptoms commonly associated with menopause such as hot flushes, night sweats, and mood swings. Additionally, low levels of oestradiol can increase the risk of developing osteoporosis.

Prolactin

Prolactin is a hormone that is synthesized in the pituitary gland and is involved in the regulation of reproductive functions. Its main function is to stimulate lactation after delivery, and it is common for prolactin levels to increase substantially during pregnancy and breastfeeding in women.

Progesterone

Progesterone is a hormone that is primarily produced by the corpus luteum and adrenal glands. Its main function is to prepare the female body for pregnancy and support fetal development. During the menstrual cycle, progesterone levels increase in the second half of the cycle, and a drop in progesterone levels can signal the onset of menstruation. Progesterone is often measured on day 21 of the menstrual cycle to confirm whether ovulation has occurred. While progesterone is commonly associated with female physiology, men also produce progesterone in the adrenal glands and testes, where it plays a role in the production of testosterone.

Sampling special instructions

Prepare for your Oestradiol, Progesterone, and Prolactin Blood Test by following the instructions included within your test kit. For accurate results, it is recommended to schedule the test during the early follicular phase of your menstrual cycle, ideally between days 2 and 4, day 3 being best. It is important to inform to consider any hormonal medications or supplements you are currently taking, as they may affect the test results, if required consult your healthcare provider on whether to continue or temporarily pause these medications prior to the test. Ensure proper hydration before the test.
