A focused 3-marker reproductive hormone panel measuring FSH, LH, and progesterone — the core markers for assessing ovulation, cycle regularity, and menopausal status. More affordable than a comprehensive hormone screen, this panel answers the specific question of whether ovulation is occurring and where you sit in your reproductive timeline. Useful as a first step before committing to broader hormonal investigation.
This focused 3-marker panel measures the core reproductive hormones — FSH, LH, and progesterone — that govern ovulation, menstrual cycle regularity, and menopausal transition. It is designed as an affordable first step for women investigating cycle irregularity, fertility concerns, or perimenopausal symptoms before committing to a comprehensive hormone screen. FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) drives follicle development in the ovaries and rises as ovarian reserve declines with age. Elevated FSH on day 2-5 of the cycle suggests diminished ovarian reserve or approaching menopause. LH (luteinising hormone) triggers ovulation — a mid-cycle LH surge confirms that the hormonal signal for egg release is functioning. The FSH-to-LH ratio is also diagnostically useful: a reversed ratio (LH higher than FSH) is characteristic of polycystic ovary syndrome. Progesterone is best measured on day 21 of the cycle (7 days before the expected period) to confirm whether ovulation has actually occurred. Adequate progesterone after ovulation is essential for endometrial preparation and early pregnancy maintenance. Low progesterone despite ovulation may indicate a luteal phase defect — a common and correctable cause of difficulty conceiving or early pregnancy loss. ClearLabs delivers results within 2-3 business days, with timing guidance provided at booking to ensure the blood draw occurs at the appropriate point in the menstrual cycle. No fasting is required, and no GP referral is needed. The results are displayed on a digital dashboard with both standard and optimal reference ranges.
