Question 1

What's included in the Women's Complete Fertility & Wellness Panel?

Accepted Answer

23 markers across six areas. Ovarian reserve: [AMH](/tests/amh). Reproductive hormones: [Estradiol](/tests/estradiol), [Progesterone](/tests/progesterone), [LH](/tests/luteinizing-hormone), [FSH](/tests/fsh), [Prolactin](/tests/prolactin). Androgen balance (PCOS): [Total Testosterone](/tests/testosterone-total), [Free Testosterone](/tests/testosterone-free), [DHEA-S](/tests/dhea-sulfate), [SHBG](/tests/shbg-sex-hormone-binding-globulin). Full thyroid with autoimmune markers: [TSH](/tests/tsh), [Free T3](/tests/free-t3), [Free T4](/tests/free-t4-test), [Reverse T3](/tests/reverse-t3), [TPO Antibodies](/tests/tpo-antibodies). Metabolic health: [CMP](/tests/comprehensive-metabolic-panel), [Fasting Insulin](/tests/insulin-fasting), [HbA1c](/tests/hemoglobin-a1c). Nutrients tied to conception: [Vitamin D](/tests/vitamin-d), [B12](/tests/vitamin-b12), [Ferritin](/tests/ferritin), [Homocysteine](/tests/homocysteine), plus [MTHFR](/tests/mthfr-gene-mutation) genetic testing linked to recurrent pregnancy loss.

Question 2

What's the best age to test fertility hormones?

Accepted Answer

Earlier is better than later if you might want kids. ACOG recommends fertility workup after 6 months of trying if you're 35+, or after 12 months under 35. Many women test in their early 30s for awareness even without active TTC plans — [AMH](/tests/amh) gives a baseline reserve number that informs timing decisions for future planning.

Question 3

When in my cycle should I draw blood?

Accepted Answer

Cycle days 3-5 (early follicular) is standard for [FSH](/tests/fsh), [LH](/tests/luteinizing-hormone), [Estradiol](/tests/estradiol). [Progesterone](/tests/progesterone) is meaningful only on cycle day 21 (mid-luteal) when you'd expect a post-ovulation peak. [AMH](/tests/amh), [TSH](/tests/tsh), and [Prolactin](/tests/prolactin) can be drawn any day. If irregular cycles, draw any day with that limitation noted.

Question 4

What if my AMH is low?

Accepted Answer

Low [AMH](/tests/amh) suggests diminished ovarian reserve but doesn't mean you can't conceive — it means time-to-conceive matters more. Many women with low AMH conceive naturally; others benefit from earlier intervention (IUI/IVF). See a reproductive endocrinologist for personalized planning. Consider egg freezing if you're not ready to conceive.

Question 5

How much does the Women's Complete Fertility & Wellness Panel cost without insurance?

Accepted Answer

On TestWell, the Women's Complete Fertility & Wellness Panel is $399.99 (this comprehensive version). Quest Direct lists comparable bundles at $900, walk-in hospital labs and fertility clinics typically bill $1500-3000 for the same biomarkers without insurance. The [Women's Fertility Essentials](/tests/female-fertility-panel) at $119.99 is a smaller version with just the five core hormones.

Question 6

Should my partner test too?

Accepted Answer

Yes — 40-50% of infertility involves a male factor. Pair this with our [Men's Complete Fertility & Wellness Panel](/tests/mens-fertility-panel) (testosterone, FSH, LH, prolactin) for a complete couples' workup. Semen analysis is also required and isn't a blood test — get it at a fertility clinic or urology office.

Question 7

Do I need to fast?

Accepted Answer

No fasting required. But morning draw is preferred for [Prolactin](/tests/prolactin) (which peaks overnight) and [Testosterone](/tests/testosterone-total) if added.

Question 8

How often should I retest?

Accepted Answer

Once for baseline. Repeat [AMH](/tests/amh) every 1-2 years for women in their 30s tracking reserve. Re-test [Progesterone](/tests/progesterone) day-21 if cycles change. Re-test full panel before fertility treatment cycles per RE recommendation.
