Common Women's Hormone Panel - Bioref

This panel answers practical questions about menstrual regularity, fertility timing, perimenopause transition, and symptoms like fatigue, irregular cycles, or changes in energy and body composition. The reproductive hormones work as a system, so measuring estradiol, FSH, and LH together gives context that any single value can't — for example, an elevated FSH alongside low estradiol points toward reduced ovarian reserve, while an LH-to-FSH imbalance is a recognized feature of PCOS. Adding total and free testosterone, DHEA-S, and SHBG clarifies whether androgen-related symptoms reflect true excess or shifts in hormone-binding capacity, and the thyroid markers (TSH, FT4, T4, FT3) rule in or out a thyroid contribution to the same overlapping symptoms. The included CBC, comprehensive metabolic panel, lipid screen, fasting insulin, and IGF-1 place your hormones against a backdrop of metabolic and general health, since insulin resistance and lipid changes often travel with hormonal shifts. Because cycle phase strongly affects estradiol, FSH, and LH, interpreting these results alongside your cycle day makes them far more useful. Bundling all 15 markers into one blood draw is more convenient and typically more economical than ordering reproductive, thyroid, and metabolic panels separately.
