Women's Hormone Panel
Core female hormone markers in one convenient panel — estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, and FSH.
About this test
A combination of hormone measurements whose interpretation depends on symptoms, cycle timing, and hormone medicines.
Common reasons for testing
- Selected assessment of menstrual or hormone concerns with a clinician.
These are examples of clinical uses. Your history and symptoms determine whether testing is appropriate.
What to expect
The collection depends on the tests listed in this panel. Blood tests can usually be collected in one visit; urine or other specimens have separate instructions. Confirm the current included tests before booking.
Appointment length
Your visit is expected to take about 15 minutes at our West Ashley location.
Categories
What's included
- Estradiol
- Progesterone
- Testosterone, Total — Female
- FSH
Preparation
- Confirm timing for each included test; separate visits may be needed for early-cycle FSH/estradiol and later-cycle progesterone.
- Tell the team about hormone treatment, contraception, supplements, pregnancy, and the first day of your last period, if applicable.
- Ask whether a particular collection time or menstrual-cycle day is needed for your clinical question.
- Bring a list of medicines and supplements, including biotin, vitamins, and hormones. Do not stop or change prescribed medicines unless your clinician tells you to.
Instructions for this appointment
- Hormone levels can vary throughout the day and across your cycle, so a morning appointment is recommended.
Follow the instructions confirmed for your order. If they differ from the general guidance, contact the team before changing food, fluids, or medicines.
Order requirement
No outside order needed
Understanding your results
- The best day for one hormone may not be the best day for another. A single panel does not establish fertility or diagnose every cause of irregular periods.
What happens next?
Review the report with your clinician alongside your symptoms, medical history, and earlier results. A value outside the reference range does not always mean disease, and a normal result does not explain every symptom. Confirm who will arrange any repeat or additional testing.
