Luteinizing hormone (LH) plays an important role in regulating the menstrual cycle. Low LH can cause problems with fertility, while significantly elevated LH levels are common during and after menopause. Use this home hormone test to gain insight into your fertility or understand whether you might be in menopause.
Test mode:
Finger Prick test
When to test: It is important to collect the blood sample on Day 3 of your menstrual cycle to ensure accurate results. The third day of your menstrual cycle refers to the third day of blood flow during your period. This means you consume no food or drinks other than water. This test should not be used by women on hormonal birth control.
