Which hormones will I test?
We customize your test based on whether or not you’re using hormonal birth control. If you’re on hormonal birth control, you can get an accurate read of your AMH and TSH levels to learn more about ovarian reserve and thyroid health.
Anti-Mullerian Hormone
AMH is released by cells around your follicles and is the most important hormone for testing ovarian reserve (the eggs you have “waiting in the wings”).
You'll test AMH even on birth control.
Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone
Produced by your pituitary gland, TSH regulates thyroid health.
You can test TSH even on birth control.
Follicle-Stimulating Hormone
Responsible for growing follicles and starting ovulation. Too much FSH can mean your body needs extra oomph to get things moving.
You’ll test FSH if you’re not on hormonal birth control.
Estradiol
A sex hormone produced by the ovaries. Since high E2 can mask a high FSH, we test these hormones together.
You’ll test E2 if you’re not on hormonal birth control.
Free Thyroxine
fT4 plays a role in thyroid health, especially when tested with TSH. If you have certain TSH levels and are not on hormonal birth control, we’ll send you another kit to test your fT4.
Prolactin
Stimulates milk production and pauses ovulation after you give birth.
You’ll test PRL if you’re not on hormonal birth control.
Luteinizing Hormone
Produced by your pituitary gland, LH regulates the length of your cycle.
You’ll test LH if you’re not on hormonal birth control.
What will I learn?
01
All about your eggs, aka your “ovarian reserve”— if you have more or fewer eggs than average for your age.
02
Your thyroid levels. Thyroid can affect your mood, skin, weight, energy, and ovulation.
03
If you have any fertility red flags so you can have personalized conversations with your doctor.
04
About your AMH levels, which doctors can use to get signals about if you could hit menopause earlier or later than average.
05
If a doctor might expect to retrieve more or fewer eggs than average for egg freezing or IVF.
Answers to your hormone test questions
Are fertility hormone tests with at-home blood collection accurate?
The Modern Fertility Hormone Test is extremely accurate. Whether you collect your sample with our at-home collection kit or choose to go into a Quest lab, you’ll get accurate results from your fertility hormone test. We conducted a clinical study demonstrating that capillary blood collected with the Modern Fertility at home collection kit and a traditional blood draw can be used interchangeably to measure reproductive hormones.
This clinical study was published in the February 2019 edition of Obstetrics & Gynecology (the “Green Journal”), the Official Publication of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
How do you test hormone levels at home?
We’ll send you everything you need to test, along with instructions (and tips!) to support you throughout the process. After you collect your blood sample with a simple finger prick, you’ll just pop it in the mail and our lab will handle the rest.
How long does it take to get my Modern Fertility Results?
It typically takes about 7 days to get results after your sample arrives at our lab. In total, expect about 10 days from the time you drop your sample in the mail. We’ll send you an email when your results are ready to go so you can login to your personalized fertility dashboard!
Should I test my fertility hormones if I’m still on birth control?
Testing on birth control can help you get proactive with fertility insights even before you’re ready for kids. If you’re on hormonal birth control you’ll test two key fertility hormones: AMH, the most reliable hormonal marker for ovarian reserve, and TSH, the main indicator of thyroid health. Each Modern Fertility Hormone Test is customized for you based on your birth control and the regularity of your period (if you get one).
Does insurance cover hormone testing?
In general, fertility testing is not covered by most insurance plans unless you’ve been actively trying to conceive for a certain period of time. Modern Fertility was founded after our CEO, Afton Vechery, spent $1,500 getting the same panel of tests through her doctor. With Modern Fertility, you’re able to test the same fertility hormones that you would in a clinic, for a fraction of the price.
We’re not able to accept insurance for the Modern Fertility Hormone Test, but you can get reimbursed through your HSA or FSA benefits. Once you receive your kit at home, activate it, then download your HSA/FSA receipt to submit it for reimbursement.
In what states is the Modern Fertility Hormone Test available?
The Modern Fertility Hormone Test is available in all US states except New York and Rhode Island.
Will the test be shipped to me in discreet packaging?
Yes! Your test will arrive in discreet packaging from “Modern Health.”
