What is hormone testing?

Hormone tests are blood tests that measure the concentrations of specific hormones and determine whether they are correct (within the reference or normal ranges).

 

By determining sex hormones and hormones that regulate ovarian function such as: FSH, LH, estradiol, progesterone and prolactin, it is possible to check whether ovulation is proceeding correctly and to exclude infertility resulting from hormonal disorders.

 

The endocrine system is very complex, so it is worth extending the diagnosis to include the determination of thyroid hormones: TSH, FT4, and the so-called anti-thyroid antibodies: anti-TPO and anti-TG.

 

In order to determine the ovarian reserve, which corresponds approximately to a woman’s reproductive potential, it is important to determine the concentration of the AMH hormone. AMH assessment is a very useful test in the differential diagnosis of disorders such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or premature ovarian insufficiency (POI).

We collect a venous blood sample. Collection is quick and painless, and only a small sample of blood is usually required for testing.

Preparation

for testing

Image

Tests are done according to the doctor’s recommendations.

It is recommended that you hydrate before a blood sample is taken. Most often, tests are done in the morning. Please avoid excessive physical exertion and stress and refrain from sexual activity one day before the test.

Course of testing

Stage 1

Collection

The midwife gently collects and then appropriately labels a blood sample.

Stage 2

We send the sample to an external genetic laboratory

Dedicated couriers collect the blood samples from our site and transport them to a specialised laboratory, delivering a fast and reliable result.

Stage 3

Test results

The results of most hormone tests are available the same or next day.

How patients see us

I would like to wholeheartedly thank the ARTVIMED staff for making our dream of becoming parents come true. Our beloved baby son was born on 15 May this year.

Thanks to the physicians at the clinic, the whole IVF procedure was successful on the first try 🙂 We received the best care at each step. I had the opportunity to meet several doctors at the clinic during my appointments, and each one proved to be an outstanding professional.

Thanks to the Doctor, we welcomed our son into the world 2 weeks ago.

We found this doctor after several years of struggling to conceive a child and being treated by specialists who knew nothing about infertility. The doctor immediately outlined a definite plan of action, ordered the right diagnostic tests, and referred us to the hospital for testing. As a result, the treatment progressed in the right direction.[…]

The best doctor we could have come across; she managed our pregnancy with great commitment.

Patient and taking every moment to help or clear up doubts if necessary. Thanks to the Doctor, we are parents of a 5-month-old miracle baby. Highly recommended

Dr Baran is by far the gentlest, most thorough gynaecologist interested in the patient’s concerns that I have ever encountered.

Immense knowledge of endometriosis, the skills to provide complete ultrasound testing for it and the know how to guide a patient dealing with this unpleasant disease. […]

I highly recommend pregnancy management. My past experience with other doctors was that there was little to be gained from the appointments, the doctors were reluctant to tell me what they saw, unwilling to answer questions, and Ms Joanna answered every single one, demonstrating an enormous amount of patience. Highly recommended.

Although our little sunshine is already 6 years old, so far, when I look at her, I still have Dr Chrostowski and the Artvimed clinic in my mind… Dr Chrostowski has got that something about him that, when you are in his office, you know that you couldn’t have found a better place. I will always highly recommend ARTVIMED to everyone.

Ps. I still am in awe of how the embryologists work…how they ‘managed’ to create such a miracle… 😉 Thank you for being there

Very matter-of-fact doctor; she informs you thoroughly about everything and explains everything comprehensively. She informed me of the treatment plan and was very kind, gentle and understanding.

We would like to thank the entire ARTVIMED Team – our little miracle was born 2 weeks ago. Many thanks are due, in particular, to Dr Posadzka, through whom the right diagnostic work began, and to Dr Chrostowski, who guided further treatment, punctures, and transfer. I also had the pleasure of dealing with most of the doctors during the course of my diagnosis and each one showed a great deal of support and professionalism. We would also like to thank the Embryology Team – without you, our son would not be here. Thank you for the beautiful work of the whole clinic!
