Jaanch Fertility Female Check

The Jaanch Fertility Female Check combines tests that help assess female reproductive health and overall health. It may be suitable for women planning pregnancy, experiencing difficulty conceiving, or being evaluated for health conditions that may affect fertility.

The package includes hormone tests that provide information about ovarian reserve, ovulation, and reproductive health, along with other tests such as CBC and TSH that assess blood health and thyroid function, respectively. Alongside symptoms, medical history, and other investigations, it can help evaluate hormone- or health-related factors that may contribute to difficulty conceiving.

However, the package cannot determine whether you can get pregnant or predict the likelihood of getting pregnant, as fertility depends on several factors, including age, ovarian factors, ovulation, the reproductive tract, partner’s fertility, medical history, and other individual factors.

You may consider taking this package if you want to undergo a fertility evaluation and want to check for any issues beforehand that may contribute to difficulty conceiving:

• Women planning pregnancy who want to discuss their reproductive health with a healthcare professional.
• Females experiencing signs or symptoms such as irregular periods or absence of periods.
• If you are having difficulty conceiving or have age-related fertility concerns.
• If you have known or suspected conditions that may affect fertility, such as PCOS or thyroid conditions.

The female fertility check can help support the evaluation of hormonal factors or conditions that may contribute to difficulty conceiving, such as:

• PCOS/PMOS
• Thyroid disorders
• Primary ovarian insufficiency
• Hyperprolactinaemia

The package includes 31 tests mentioned below that provide a brief assessment of female fertility and overall health:

What to Expect Before the Test

• Fasting is usually not required unless advised otherwise. You can eat or drink normally before the tests.
• Test timing matters because hormone levels change throughout the cycle, so your healthcare provider may recommend testing on a particular day or phase of your cycle.
• Inform your doctor about current medications and supplements, as certain medicines such as birth control pills, hormone treatments, antidepressants, and seizure medicines can alter test results. Do not stop any prescribed medication unless advised by your doctor.

What to Expect During the Sample Collection

A trained professional from PharmEasy Labs visits your location for sample collection. A blood sample is collected using a routine procedure that takes less than 5 minutes and is explained below in brief:

• A phlebotomist ties an elastic band around your upper arm to improve access to the veins.
• The skin is cleaned with an antiseptic, and a needle is inserted into the vein.
• Once the sample is collected, the needle is withdrawn, and a bandage is placed over the site to stop any minor bleeding.

What to Expect After the Test

• The test procedure is generally safe, with minimal to no risk.
• If you feel dizzy, sit and relax for a few minutes to recover.

Note: If you notice bruising, pain, swelling, redness, or a rash at the puncture site after the test, consult your healthcare provider.

Complete blood count

Complete blood count, or CBC, measures the number of different types of blood cells and helps evaluate conditions such as anaemia, infections, bleeding disorders, or abnormal cell counts. It helps evaluate overall health and can also be useful when planning pregnancy.

Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) test

It checks anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) levels, which provide information about your ovarian reserve. Its levels may decline with age. However, it does not indicate egg quality or predict your chances of getting pregnant.

Dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate (DHEA-S) test

It measures DHEA-S levels (an androgen), a hormone produced mainly by the adrenal glands. It helps evaluate androgen-related conditions that may cause irregular periods or excess facial or body hair. Its levels vary with age, being highest during puberty:

Progesterone test

It measures progesterone levels, a hormone that rises after ovulation, and helps prepare the uterine lining for pregnancy. Its levels can help assess whether ovulation has occurred when the test is performed at the appropriate time in the menstrual cycle.

Prolactin test

It measures prolactin levels, a hormone secreted by the pituitary gland that regulates breast tissue development and milk production. Its levels may change throughout the day and can be influenced by stress, pain, sleep, medications, or nipple stimulation. Elevated levels may cause menstrual irregularities and can contribute to difficulty conceiving.

Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) test

It measures FSH levels, a hormone secreted by the pituitary gland that regulates the menstrual cycle. It supports the growth and maturation of ovarian follicles, which release eggs. Its levels change throughout the cycle, and abnormal levels may indicate ovarian function and ovarian reserve when interpreted with other findings. 

Luteinising hormone (LH) test

It measures LH levels, a hormone secreted by the pituitary gland. The LH surge triggers ovulation, and progesterone is released after ovulation. Its levels may vary depending on the phase of the menstrual cycle.

Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) - ultrasensitive

It measures TSH, a hormone secreted by the pituitary gland that regulates thyroid function. Thyroid disorders can affect menstrual function and fertility and may need evaluation and treatment when present.

Important Note: Normal reference ranges for all parameters may vary from lab to lab. Hormone levels may vary depending on your menstrual phase and pregnancy status, and should be considered before recommending tests and when interpreting results. Abnormal results do not by themselves confirm a diagnosis and should be interpreted in the context of symptoms, medical history, and other investigations by a healthcare professional.
