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. **Clinical use:** 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.) ## Who should order it? 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. ## Tests included | Test | Biomarkers | Standalone price | CPT | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Comprehensive Metabolic Panel](https://www.test-well.com/tests/comprehensive-metabolic-panel) | 14 (Glucose, BUN, Creatinine, Sodium, Potassium, Chloride, …) | $22.99 | 80053 | | [CBC with Differential](https://www.test-well.com/tests/cbc-with-differential) | 14 (WBC, RBC, Hemoglobin, Hematocrit, MCV, MCH, …) | $21.99 | 85025 | | [TSH + Free T4](https://www.test-well.com/tests/tsh-with-free-t4) | 2 (TSH, Free T4) | $27.99 | 84443, 84439 | | [Vitamin D, 25-Hydroxy](https://www.test-well.com/tests/vitamin-d) | 1 (25-Hydroxy Vitamin D) | $41.99 | 82306 | | [Vitamin B12](https://www.test-well.com/tests/vitamin-b12) | 1 (Vitamin B12) | $25.99 | 82607 | | [Folate (Vitamin B9)](https://www.test-well.com/tests/folate) | 1 (Folate) | $32.99 | 82746 | | [Ferritin](https://www.test-well.com/tests/ferritin) | 1 (Ferritin) | $24.99 | 82728 | | [Iron & TIBC](https://www.test-well.com/tests/iron-and-tibc) | 3 (Iron, TIBC, Iron Saturation %) | $25.99 | 83540, 83550 | ## Price by lab | Lab | Panel price | All-in (with $6 fee) | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Quest Diagnostics | $224.99 | $230.99 | Choose at checkout | | Labcorp | $224.99 | $230.99 | Choose at checkout | ## How much does a Pre-Pregnancy Panel cost?

The goal is to find and correct deficiencies before conception. ### Why check folate and iron before pregnancy? 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](https://www.test-well.com/tests/ferritin)) need to be adequate going in, because pregnancy sharply increases blood volume and iron demand; starting depleted makes anemia far more likely. ### Why check thyroid before trying to conceive? Even mild hypothyroidism can disrupt ovulation and is linked to early miscarriage. [TSH + Free T4](https://www.test-well.com/tests/tsh-with-free-t4) catches it so you can normalize thyroid levels before conception — early fetal brain development depends on adequate maternal thyroid hormone. ### How much does the Pre-Pregnancy Panel cost without insurance? 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. ### When should I get this panel? 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. ### Do I need to fast? Yes — 8-12 hours of fasting (water only) for accurate [CMP](https://www.test-well.com/tests/comprehensive-metabolic-panel) and [Ferritin](https://www.test-well.com/tests/ferritin) results. ### Should I add fertility hormones? Yes if you're 35+ or have irregular cycles.
