A female fertility test provides information about ovarian reserve and reproductive potential. Our Ovarian Reserve test measures three key hormones responsible for egg production: anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and estradiol.

This test does not evaluate egg quality or predict the likelihood of pregnancy. However, it does provide easy-to-understand results and insights on your reproductive hormone levels so you can discuss options with your healthcare provider and make informed decisions.

Currently, there are no known ways of increasing ovarian reserve. However, adopting healthy habits, such as a balanced diet and regular exercise, can help improve your overall egg health and quality.⁶ It’s important to follow up with your healthcare provider to discuss any abnormal results and evaluate next steps.

If you are over the age of 35, taking an egg reserve test can help you better understand your chances of getting pregnant. It can also provide information to help you make important reproductive decisions, such as whether you should freeze your eggs or consider IVF. Finally, if you wonder whether you have polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), an ovarian reserve test may help detect PCOS in those who may not have obvious symptoms.

Once you’ve ordered an ovarian reserve test, the best time to collect a sample is on the third day of your menstrual period, when hormone levels are at their most stable.

Your testing will be performed in a CLIA-certified clinical laboratory. Labcorp provides leading-edge medical laboratory tests and services through a national network of primary clinical laboratories and specialty testing laboratories. Our labs perform regular quality assurance testing to ensure our results are accurate.

Your results will be provided to you through our secure online portal to view or print. Results are also provided to PWNHealth, which provides professional healthcare provider services for OnDemand tests. If you are accessing your results through your Labcorp Patient account, all users linked to the account will have access to all OnDemand test results. Results may also be provided to a local, state, or federal health authority, but only when legally required. For example, many states require the testing laboratory and healthcare provider to report test results for certain communicable diseases, such as sexually transmitted diseases or COVID-19, to local or state health departments.
