Female hormone assessment with AMH, LH, FSH, estradiol, progesterone, and TSH. At €128.23, includes AMH (anti-Müllerian hormone) for ovarian reserve assessment — a test that alone costs €50+ at most German labs.
This panel combines reproductive hormone assessment with ovarian reserve testing and thyroid screening. AMH (anti-Müllerian hormone) is the most reliable blood-based marker of ovarian reserve — reflecting the remaining pool of primordial follicles. AMH is increasingly requested by women considering future fertility, as it declines progressively with age and provides an objective measure of reproductive timeline. Unlike FSH and estradiol, AMH is relatively stable across the menstrual cycle, making it interpretable regardless of cycle day. FSH and LH are pituitary hormones that drive the menstrual cycle. Elevated FSH indicates diminished ovarian reserve or perimenopause. The LH:FSH ratio is diagnostically relevant in PCOS — a ratio above 2:1 supports the diagnosis alongside clinical and ultrasound criteria. Estradiol (the primary oestrogen) and progesterone provide information about ovarian function. Progesterone measured in the mid-luteal phase (day 21 of a 28-day cycle) confirms ovulation — progesterone above 10 nmol/L indicates a functional corpus luteum. TSH screens for thyroid dysfunction, which is 5–8 times more common in women and has significant reproductive consequences: hypothyroidism impairs ovulation, increases miscarriage risk, and affects foetal neurodevelopment. Thyroid screening is recommended before pregnancy and during early pregnancy. This panel provides the baseline data needed for fertility counselling, menstrual irregularity investigation, and perimenopause assessment.

Panel Categories
Biomarkers Tested
11Metabolite of estradiol.
5α-Dihydrotestosterone, a potent androgen.
A hormone secreted by cells in developing egg sacs (follicles), indicating ovarian reserve.
Precursor to other hormones
Metabolite of testosterone.
Measures only the unbound PSA in the blood.
The unbound, biologically active fraction of testosterone (typically 1–3% of total). Free testosterone is the form that can enter cells and exert effects. More clinically relevant than total testosterone for assessing hormonal status.
Normally 1:1; higher ratios (e.g., 2:1 or 3:1) may indicate PCOS.
A hormone essential for menstrual cycle regulation and pregnancy maintenance. Progesterone rises after ovulation, preparing the uterus for implantation. Low levels can cause irregular periods and difficulty maintaining pregnancy.
A hormone primarily known for stimulating breast milk production. Elevated prolactin in non-pregnant individuals can indicate pituitary tumors, medication side effects, or hypothyroidism. High levels can suppress reproductive hormones.
A protein that binds and transports sex hormones (testosterone, estrogen) in the blood. High SHBG reduces the amount of free, active hormones available. SHBG increases with age, thyroid hormones, and estrogen; decreases with obesity and insulin resistance.
