To give us an overview of your fertility, we examine the following hormones:
- Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) standard value < 10 IU/l
- Anti Müller Hormone (AMH) ideally > 10 pmol/l
We also use an ultrasound scan to count the number of follicles in the starting position = antral follicle count (AFC).
In order to rule out hormonal disruptive factors or hormonal diseases, further tests may be useful. These include, for example:
- Thyroid hormones: Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) possibly fT3 and fT4
- Prolactin
- Testosterone
- Progesterone
- and more
The oestrogen and oestradiol levels are also determined in order to check whether a blood sample has been taken at the right time, i.e. early in the cycle. This is important to ensure that hormone values are interpreted correctly.
