Before your visit
- Timing is critical. LH and FSH should be taken on day 2, 3, 4 or 5 of your cycle, counting the first day of proper bleeding as day 1. Taken at another point they are still a real measurement, but there is no reference range to read them against and the report becomes far harder to interpret. Book your sample for those days.
- If your periods have stopped altogether, do not wait for one in order to test. Say so when you book, give the sample whenever suits you, and your doctor will read the result knowing there was no cycle to time it to.
- Rule out pregnancy first. A missed period is far more often a pregnancy than a hormone problem. A home urine pregnancy test costs very little and should come before this package if there is any possibility at all.
- Fasting is not required. Eat and drink normally before the sample.
- Skip iron tablets and iron rich supplements for 24 hours before the sample. A dose taken that morning can lift the ferritin reading and hide a deficiency that is really there.
- Tell the doctor about every hormone tablet you take or have recently taken, including contraceptive pills and anything the pharmacy gave you to bring on or delay a period. They change LH, FSH and the whole shape of the report, and how recently you took them matters.
- Ferritin also rises during any infection or fever, so postpone the sample if you are unwell. A result taken during illness can look normal while your stores are actually low.
- Have your dates ready for the consultation: when the last period started, how long your cycles usually run, how many days you bleed and whether you pass clots. These matter as much as the numbers do.
- Not for under 18s. For a daughter under 18 with the same problem, book a consultation first rather than a panel, because the reference ranges and the likely reasons are different in teenagers.
- Bleeding that soaks a pad an hour, bleeding with severe pain or dizziness, or any bleeding after menopause is not something to test and wait on. Get seen the same day.
