The Pre-Pregnancy Panel is designed for women planning to get pregnant. It measures the key biomarkers that healthcare providers check before conception: CMP evaluates metabolic and organ health. CBC screens for anemia, which is common in women of childbearing age. TSH + Free T4 assesses thyroid function — thyroid imbalance can affect ovulation and early pregnancy. Vitamin D, B12, and Folate are critical for immune health, neural tube development, and red blood cell formation. Ferritin reveals iron stores that are essential for supporting increased blood volume during pregnancy. Iron + TIBC provides a complete picture of iron availability. Identifying and correcting deficiencies before conception gives you the best foundation for a healthy pregnancy.
Pre-pregnancy nutritional and wellness workup for women planning to conceive: CMP, CBC, TSH + Free T4, Vitamin D, B12, Folate, Ferritin, and Iron + TIBC. Finds and corrects the deficiencies and thyroid issues that affect ovulation and early pregnancy — before trying to conceive. (Infectious-disease and blood-type screening are covered by the Early Pregnancy Panel once you're pregnant.)
Women planning to conceive within 3-12 months, preconception counseling, anyone with prior miscarriage planning another pregnancy, women in their 30s+ wanting a comprehensive pre-pregnancy baseline.

What can throw off this result
Physician-reviewed “Before your test” pages — what each factor does, for how long, and what to do about it.
A Pre-Pregnancy Panel costs $224.99 at TestWell — $230.99 all-in when ordered alone, because the $6 lab processing fee is charged once per order, with no draw fee or physician fee added. With insurance, what you pay depends on your deductible and your plan's negotiated rate; TestWell's price is fixed before the draw and is HSA/FSA-eligible.

8 tests across nutrition, thyroid, and metabolic health: CMP (organ + metabolic), CBC (anemia screen), TSH + Free T4 (thyroid affects ovulation and early pregnancy), Vitamin D, B12, and Folate (critical for neural-tube development), Ferritin (iron stores), and Iron + TIBC. The goal is to find and correct deficiencies before conception.
Folate is critical in the first few weeks after conception — often before you know you're pregnant — to prevent neural-tube defects, so repleting low folate beforehand matters. Iron stores (Ferritin) need to be adequate going in, because pregnancy sharply increases blood volume and iron demand; starting depleted makes anemia far more likely.
Even mild hypothyroidism can disrupt ovulation and is linked to early miscarriage. TSH + Free T4 catches it so you can normalize thyroid levels before conception — early fetal brain development depends on adequate maternal thyroid hormone.
On TestWell, the Pre-Pregnancy Panel is $224.99. Ordering the same tests separately would be about $350. Quest Direct lists comparable bundles at $355, walk-in hospital labs typically bill $800-1500 without insurance.
3-12 months before trying to conceive — that gives time to correct deficiencies (Vitamin D, Iron, Folate) and optimize thyroid before conception, so you start pregnancy from a strong baseline.
Yes if you're 35+ or have irregular cycles. Pair with our Women's Complete Fertility & Wellness Panel for AMH, FSH, and ovarian reserve markers. The Pre-Pregnancy Panel focuses on pregnancy readiness; Fertility focuses on conception ability.
Pre-Pregnancy Panel results are typically ready in 1–3 business days after your draw at Quest or Labcorp. TestWell emails you the moment they post, and your results dashboard shows each marker against its reference range with a plain-English explanation.
Yes. Fasting for 10–12 hours is recommended. Water is okay.
Recent blood donation, recent illness and dehydration can change a Pre-Pregnancy Panel result without anything being wrong. Recent blood donation can lower RBC, Ferritin and Iron and can raise TIBC — wait 6–8 weeks after a whole-blood donation for an anemia baseline. Recent illness can raise Ferritin and can lower Iron — wait 2 weeks — illness can mask iron deficiency. Dehydration can raise BUN and Hemoglobin and 2 more markers on this test — hydrate normally; water is allowed during a fast. Each factor is covered on our physician-reviewed "Before your test" pages; when one applies, the fix is usually to remove it and retest.
