When to collect your sample
Before you collect your sample:
It is important that no hormonal contraceptives are taken when you collect your sample, as the test results may be affected.
*Results may be affected if you have an irregular menstrual cycle or if you have been taking hormonal contraceptives within the last three months.
When to collect your sample:
Collect your sample using the collection kit provided* on Day 3 of your menstrual cycle to ensure accurate results. The third day of your menstrual cycle refers to the third day of blood flow during your period.
The sample must be collected in the morning on a Monday - Thursday and returned on the same day. It may be necessary to wait until Day 3 of your cycle falls on one of these days.

What's measured
Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
Follicle Stimulating Hormone is responsible for stimulating the growth of egg-bearing follicles in your ovaries.
Luteinizing Hormone (LH)
Luteinizing Hormone is responsible for ovulation. It works in conjunction with follicle-stimulating hormone to trigger the release of the egg.
Prolactin
Prolactin is a hormone made in your pituitary gland and plays many important roles in the body, including in breast tissue development and breast milk production.
Oestradiol
Oestradiol is the primary estrogen hormone, which plays a crucial role in your fertility, particularly in the menstrual cycle, where it aids in the maturation and release of eggs as well as the thickening of the uterus lining as it prepares for implantation.
