By assessing key hormones such as FSH, LH, oestradiol, and prolactin, along with thyroid hormones (TSH) and vitamin D levels, this comprehensive test provides valuable insights into a woman\u2019s reproductive health. These biomarkers help identify any hormonal imbalances or deficiencies that could affect conception, pregnancy progression, and overall health. Monitoring these levels allows for timely interventions, optimising the chances of a healthy pregnancy and reducing potential risks for both the mother and the baby.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why have a Pregnancy Health Blood Test?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Assess Hormonal Levels<\/strong>: The test includes Hormones such as FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone), LH (Luteinizing Hormone), Oestradiol, and Prolactin, providing insights into reproductive health and monitoring hormonal changes crucial for conception and pregnancy.<br \/><strong><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Evaluate Thyroid Function<\/strong>: It measures Thyroid Hormones including TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone), aiding in the assessment of thyroid function and ensuring thyroid health during pregnancy, as thyroid disorders can impact fertility and pregnancy outcomes.<br \/><strong><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Monitor Vitamin Levels<\/strong>: The test assesses Vitamin D levels, ensuring adequate vitamin levels essential for maternal and fetal health during pregnancy. Vitamin D plays a crucial role in calcium absorption, bone health, immune function, and overall pregnancy well-being.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_toggle title=&#8221;What is tested? &#8211; 6 Biomarkers&#8221; closed_toggle_background_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; icon_color=&#8221;#EE75A0&#8243; open_icon_color=&#8221;#93D0D2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; title_font=&#8221;|700|||||||&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-20px||20px||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;-20px||20px||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_phone=&#8221;-20px||||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;17px||17px||false|false&#8221; title_font_size_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; title_font_size_phone=&#8221;14px&#8221; title_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; border_radii=&#8221;on|20px|20px|20px|20px&#8221; border_color_all=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; box_shadow_style=&#8221;preset1&#8243; box_shadow_vertical=&#8221;1px&#8221; box_shadow_blur=&#8221;3px&#8221; box_shadow_color=&#8221;rgba(0,0,0,0.15)&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Hormones<\/strong> \u2013 FSH, LH, Oestradiol and Prolactin<\/li>\n<li><strong>Thyroid Hormones<\/strong> \u2013 TSH<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vitamins<\/strong> &#8211; Vitamin D<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;2.2em&#8221; header_font=&#8221;|700|||||||&#8221; header_text_color=&#8221;#737373&#8243; header_2_font=&#8221;|700|||||||&#8221; header_2_text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; header_2_text_color=&#8221;#737373&#8243; header_2_font_size=&#8221;30px&#8221; header_3_font=&#8221;|700|||||||&#8221; header_3_text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; header_3_text_color=&#8221;#737373&#8243; header_3_font_size=&#8221;30px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;13px||0px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; header_font_size_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; header_font_size_phone=&#8221;0px&#8221; header_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; header_3_text_align_tablet=&#8221;center&#8221; header_3_text_align_phone=&#8221;center&#8221; header_3_text_align_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; text_orientation_tablet=&#8221;left&#8221; text_orientation_phone=&#8221;left&#8221; text_orientation_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Appointment duration:<\/strong> Approx. 10 minutes<\/p>\n<p><strong>Please note:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Results usually take 2-3 working days upon receipt at the laboratory.<\/li>\n<li>Your results will include a doctor&#8217;s overview which should give you all the information you require.
