Fertility Blood Tests in Leicester
Fertility Blood Tests at The Health Suite Leicester – Accurate Insights for Your Reproductive Health Journey.
Fertility Blood Tests are crucial in diagnosing potential fertility health or fertility issues in women. They can detect hormonal imbalances or medical conditions that may affect fertility, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or premature ovarian failure. These tests can also guide healthcare providers in crafting personalised treatment plans to address fertility concerns. Women’s fertility blood tests provide a detailed look at hormonal and nutritional health, which is important for understanding reproductive status and dealing with potential fertility problems. These tests usually check levels of oestradiol (a type of estrogen) to assess ovarian function, luteinising hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) to evaluate ovulation and ovarian reserve, and prolactin, as high levels can disrupt ovulation. Thyroid function tests (TSH and T4) ensure proper metabolic regulation, which is vital for getting pregnant and maintaining a pregnancy. Essential nutrients, such as vitamin D, vitamin B12, and vitamin B9 (folate), support cell development and lower the risk of birth defects, while ferritin tests show iron levels, which are important for energy and immune function. A complete blood count checks overall health, while HbA1c measures blood sugar control, which affects fertility and pregnancy results. Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) helps evaluate the ovarian reserve, and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) gives information about adrenal health, which impacts hormone balance. Rubella immunity is important to ensure a safe pregnancy, as rubella during pregnancy can cause problems. Progesterone testing confirms ovulation and supports implantation, creating a complete picture of factors that influence a woman’s ability to have children.
The Health Suite Leicester offers comprehensive private blood testing services, including assessments pertinent to fertility. The extensive range of diagnostic services suggests we can accommodate various health concerns, including those related to reproductive health. Fertility blood tests typically evaluate hormone levels such as Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), Luteinizing Hormone (LH), estradiol, and anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), which provide insights into ovarian reserve and overall reproductive function. To determine the most appropriate tests for your situation, it’s advisable to consult with one of our private GPs or specialists. They can guide you through the process, ensuring that you receive personalised care tailored to your needs. Appointments can be booked directly through the website or by contacting the clinic.

Fertility Blood Tests in Leicester
Below are the key blood tests used to assess a woman’s fertility, each focusing on a specific hormone or indicator. Please confirm the package you are looking for.
AMH is a hormone produced by ovarian follicles. AMH levels can provide insight into a woman’s ovarian reserve (the number of remaining eggs). Lower levels of AMH can indicate a reduced ovarian reserve, which may affect the chances of conceiving naturally.
A steroid hormone made by the adrenal glands, DHEA-S serves as a precursor to androgens and estrogens. It helps evaluate adrenal gland function, investigate hormonal imbalances, and diagnose conditions like PCOS or adrenal tumours.
Ferritin is a protein that stores iron in the body and releases it when needed. Blood ferritin levels reflect the amount of stored iron and help diagnose conditions like iron deficiency anaemia or iron overload (hemochromatosis).
This test gauges the levels of FSH, a hormone produced by the pituitary gland, crucial for the reproductive process. In women, FSH stimulates the ovaries to produce eggs. Abnormal FSH levels can indicate potential issues with fertility, such as diminished ovarian reserve or menopause.
A common blood test that measures red cells, white cells, haemoglobin, hematocrit, and platelets. It helps detect anaemia, infections, inflammation, and blood disorders, and monitors overall health and treatment effects.
Haemoglobin A1c reflects average blood glucose levels over the past 2–3 months. It helps diagnose and monitor diabetes, with higher values indicating poorer long-term blood sugar control. A key marker for managing diabetic treatment.
LH, another hormone released by the pituitary gland, plays a significant role in ovulation. A surge in LH triggers the release of a mature egg from the ovary. An LH test can help determine if a woman is ovulating normally, and irregular LH levels could signal fertility problems.
Oestradiol, a type of oestrogen, is a key hormone in women’s reproductive health, regulating menstrual cycles and egg development. An oestradiol test can help diagnose conditions that impact fertility, such as PCOS, ovarian failure, or anovulation (the absence of ovulation).
Progesterone is a hormone produced after ovulation. It prepares the uterus for pregnancy by thickening the lining to host a fertilised egg. A progesterone test, typically done 7 days before your next period, can confirm whether ovulation has occurred.
A hormone produced by the pituitary gland, prolactin stimulates breast milk production. Levels may be checked to evaluate menstrual issues, infertility, or abnormal nipple discharge. Elevated prolactin can indicate pituitary disorders or other hormonal imbalances.
A blood test that checks for antibodies against the rubella virus, indicating past infection or vaccination. It’s especially important in pregnancy to prevent congenital rubella syndrome, which can cause serious birth defects.
This test assesses thyroid health. TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) regulates thyroid activity, while T4 (thyroxine) reflects actual hormone levels. It helps diagnose hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism and monitor thyroid treatment.
An essential B vitamin important for DNA synthesis, red blood cell formation, and fetal development. Low levels can lead to anaemia and birth defects. Folate testing helps assess nutritional status and diagnose deficiency-related conditions.
Vitamin B12 plays a pivotal role in female fertility and reproductive health. It is crucial for cell division and DNA synthesis, which are fundamental processes in the development of oocytes (eggs) and embryos. B12 deficiency may lead to anaemia, which can disrupt menstrual cycles and potentially affect ovulation. Furthermore, B12 deficiency has been associated with higher homocysteine levels, which have been linked to miscarriage and other adverse pregnancy outcomes.
Vitamin D is involved in the production and regulation of hormones, including oestrogen and progesterone. It has a role in the health and function of the uterus and ovaries.

Are you struggling to conceive after 6–12 months of trying?
Difficulty conceiving may be linked to hormonal imbalance, ovulation issues, or sperm quality. Fertility blood tests help assess key reproductive hormones to understand potential underlying causes affecting conception.
Do you have irregular or absent menstrual cycles?
Irregular cycles may indicate ovulation issues or hormonal imbalance. Blood testing helps assess reproductive hormones to understand cycle function and fertility health.
Do you experience very heavy, painful, or unusual periods?
Abnormal periods may be linked to conditions such as PCOS, endometriosis, or hormonal imbalance. Fertility blood tests help investigate underlying reproductive health concerns.
Are you over 30 and planning for pregnancy?
Fertility naturally changes with age. Testing key hormones such as AMH can help assess ovarian reserve and support informed family planning decisions.
Have you had recurrent miscarriage or pregnancy loss?
Repeated pregnancy loss may be linked to hormonal or reproductive imbalance. Blood testing can help identify potential contributing factors requiring further investigation.
Do you want to understand your fertility status proactively?
Even without symptoms, fertility blood tests can assess hormone levels and reproductive health to support early planning and peace of mind.
