Blood samples should be drawn on the THIRD DAY of your cycle.

At the Malpani Infertility Clinic, we treat patients from all over the world. Many of our patients are very well-informed and understand their treatment options well but often find it difficult to get their medical tests done.

To remove these unnecessary barriers we have collaborated with MyMedLab to offer couples in the USA an easy way to get their blood tested for the five key reproductive hormones.

The Malpani Ovarian Reserve panel includes the following tests.

Estradiol (E2) Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) Luteinizing Hormone (LH) Prolactin (PRL) Thyroid (TSH)

This Profile, usually done on Day 3 of the cycle, provides an excellent idea of ovarian reserve and can be vital to formulating the right treatment plan.

This type of service is a great way of empowering women; and is also useful for 2 other groups of women.

Women who are worried about their biological clock and are interested in checking their Ovarian reserve. The baseline FSH level is a good index of the number of eggs left in the ovaries. A high FSH is typically a sign of poor ovarian function.

Usually, ovarian function goes hand in hand with age, and as you become older, your ovarian response starts declining. Every girl is born with a finite number of eggs, and their number progressively declines with age. A measure of the remaining number of eggs in the ovary is called the "ovarian reserve". The infertility specialist is really not concerned about your calendar (or chronological age), but rather your biological age - how many eggs are left in your ovaries.

Various tests have been described to measure ovarian reserve. The commonest test measures the level of FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) in the blood - the basal ( day 3) FSH level. A high level suggests poor ovarian reserve; and a very high level ( more than 20 mIU/ml, though this varies from lab to lab) is diagnostic of ovarian failure.

These tests, if purchased individually from MyMedLab, would cost $292.50 Purchasing them together as a panel provides an additional $94.50 saving off the regular price. This group of tests from your local doctor or hospital lab would typically cost between $500 - $700.
