Luteinizing Hormone (LH) Test

Luteinizing hormone (LH) plays an important role in regulating the menstrual cycle. Low LH can cause problems with fertility, while significantly elevated LH levels are common during and after menopause. Use this home hormone test to gain insight into your fertility or understand whether you might be in menopause.

Test mode:
Finger Prick test

When to test: It is important to collect the blood sample on Day 3 of your menstrual cycle to ensure accurate results. The third day of your menstrual cycle refers to the third day of blood flow during your period. This means you consume no food or drinks other than water. This test should not be used by women on hormonal birth control.

About the Luteinizing Hormone (LH) Test

What is a Luteinizing Hormone Test?

This blood test measures the level of luteinizing hormone (LH) in your blood. LH plays a vital role in controlling the menstrual cycle and ovulation by triggering the release of an egg from the ovary. Abnormal LH levels can indicate issues with ovulation, hormonal imbalances, or underlying health conditions.

The test requires a finger prick blood sample that you can easily take from home. Your sample will then be examined by a certified laboratory and you will receive the results within a matter of days. It couldn’t be easier!

What is Luteinizing Hormone?

Luteinizing Hormone (LH) is a hormone produced in the pituitary gland of men and women. In women, LH is responsible for stimulating the ovaries to release an egg around the middle of the menstrual cycle, also known as ovulation. If fertilization occurs, LH also stimulates the production of other hormones to sustain the pregnancy.

Both too high and low levels of LH can stop ovulation, causing irregular periods or a lack of period altogether. High LH is also linked to polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and may be tested along with other hormones in the process of making a PCOS diagnosis.

I am on hormonal birth control (pill/ IUD/ Patch), can I still do this test?

This test is not suitable for women using hormonal birth control. As hormonal contraception suppresses ovulation, test results will not be accurate for women using birth control. If you are on hormonal birth control and interested in checking fertility hormones, try Homed-IQ’s Ovarian Reserve Test. This test measures Anti-Mullerian hormone, a hormone that can give an indication of ovarian reserve and can be used by women on birth control. If you stop using hormonal contraception, it is recommended to wait until your third period after stopping birth control to perform a hormone test.

How long do I have to wait after I have stopped taking hormonal birth control to test my hormones?

It is possible to perform this test from the third period after you've stopped taking birth control. In order to get the most accurate results, it is important to wait until your hormones have rebalanced and your period has returned.

How can I test my fertility at home?

This home hormone test involves collecting a small blood sample via a finger prick before sending it off to our ISO 15189 certified lab for testing.

Can I just ask my doctor for this test?

It depends. In some situations there are specific requirements for hormone testing, such as needing to have tried (unsuccessfully) to get pregnant for a year. A home test for fertility hormones allows you to check your hormones when you want, even if you are not trying to conceive yet.Homed-IQ tests are processed by the same labs used by hospitals and clinics, and all are validated for home use.

How accurate are the results from Homed-IQ?

Homed-IQ works only with ISO 15189 certified partner laboratories, which is the highest possible medical certification in Europe. It guarantees clinical correctness of your sample's analysis.
