What This Test Measures
The test detects qualitative markers related to reproductive hormones and physiological readiness for pregnancy. It does not measure specific hormone levels but evaluates a composite of factors that may influence fertility timing or health risks.

Why It Might Be Ordered
Your healthcare provider may recommend this test if you are considering pregnancy in the near future, have concerns about fertility, or want to assess overall reproductive health before conception.
What to Expect Before the Test
No special preparation is needed. You may eat and drink normally before the test, but inform your provider of any medications or conditions that could affect results.
Reference range
