About this test

The Female Hormone Blood Test Panel (Basic) measures seven markers related to hormone levels in women. It includes estradiol, progesterone, and the pituitary hormones that regulate the menstrual cycle, along with prolactin, testosterone, and DHEA-Sulfate. The panel gives a broad look at hormone balance and is used when symptoms such as cycle changes, mood shifts, or other hormone-related concerns are being evaluated. Each marker is reported separately, and results are interpreted by a healthcare provider with your symptoms and history.

What this test measures

  • Estradiol Measures estradiol, the main form of estrogen during reproductive years.
  • Progesterone Measures progesterone, a hormone involved in the menstrual cycle.
  • Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) Measures a pituitary hormone that regulates ovarian function.
  • Luteinizing Hormone (LH) Measures a pituitary hormone involved in ovulation and cycle regulation.
  • Prolactin Measures a pituitary hormone that can influence reproductive function.
  • Total Testosterone Measures the overall level of testosterone, which is present in women too.
  • DHEA-Sulfate Measures an adrenal hormone that contributes to sex hormone production.

Who this test may be right for

  • Women with cycle changes, mood shifts, or other hormone-related symptoms being evaluated.
  • Individuals whose provider suspects a hormone imbalance.
  • Women wanting a baseline hormone assessment.
  • People being monitored for a known hormone condition.
  • Anyone whose provider has recommended a basic female hormone workup.

Before your visit

  • Your provider may recommend collecting the sample on a specific day of your cycle, because hormone levels change through the month.
  • No fasting is required unless your provider gives other instructions.
  • Tell your provider about any hormone medications, contraceptives, or supplements you take.
  • Follow any collection guidance provided with your kit.

Understanding your results

The report lists a separate value for each of the seven markers. Estradiol, progesterone, FSH, and LH help a provider assess ovarian and pituitary signaling, while prolactin, testosterone, and DHEA-Sulfate add context. Results depend strongly on your menstrual cycle, age, and any medications, so reference ranges vary. A single value is not diagnostic on its own. A healthcare provider will interpret the panel as a whole with your symptoms. Discuss any abnormal or unexpected result with a healthcare provider before making changes.
