FSH-LH Profile – Blood Test in London
The FSH-LH Profile (HP3) is a specialised hormone blood test that measures Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing Hormone (LH), two key hormones involved in reproductive health and fertility. This profile helps assess ovulation, menstrual cycle regulation, fertility potential, and hormonal balance in women, while also supporting the investigation of reproductive and endocrine disorders in both men and women. Ideal for evaluating fertility concerns, irregular periods, menopause, and hormonal imbalances, this test is available at Medical Diagnosis Victoria (MDX Victoria) in London, with results typically available within 4 hours.
FSH-LH Profile
The FSH-LH Profile (HP3) is a targeted diagnostic blood test used to evaluate the levels of two key hormones: Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing Hormone (LH). These hormones play crucial roles in reproductive health and can provide valuable insights into fertility, menstrual irregularities, and hormonal imbalances.

Your Appointment Day
Fasting is not required for the FSH-LH Profile, so you can eat and drink normally before your test. Upon arrival at Medical Diagnosis Victoria, a qualified phlebotomist will take a small blood sample from your arm. The process is simple and usually takes only a few minutes.
For the most accurate assessment, it is best to have this sample taken on day 2 to 5 of your menstrual cycle, unless instructed otherwise by your doctor.
What Is Included?
This profile measures the absolute serum concentrations of two master hormones that govern the reproductive system in both men and women.
Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
FSH is produced by the pituitary gland. In women, it helps control the menstrual cycle and stimulates the growth of eggs in the ovaries. In men, FSH helps control the production of sperm.
Evaluating ovarian reserve in women and testicular function in men.
Luteinizing Hormone (LH)
LH is also secreted by the pituitary gland. In women, a sudden surge in LH levels triggers ovulation (the release of an egg). In men, LH stimulates the Leydig cells in the testes to produce testosterone.
Confirming ovulation cycles and diagnosing underlying testosterone production issues.
Systemic Hormonal Balance
Medical professionals do not just look at individual hormone numbers, they assess the ratio between FSH and LH. This relationship is often the key to diagnosing complex endocrine conditions.
Crucial for identifying conditions like Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) or primary ovarian insufficiency.
Why Assess These Hormones Together?
Because FSH and LH are so tightly linked in managing reproductive function, testing one without the other often leaves an incomplete picture. By reviewing the FSH-LH Profile, healthcare providers can pinpoint exactly where a hormonal communication breakdown is happening, whether it originates in the pituitary gland or the reproductive organs themselves.
How To Read Your Laboratory Results
Your results will list your values alongside standard reference ranges. If a result falls outside the range, it is noted for review. Important: A single out of range value does not automatically indicate a medical problem. Results must be assessed in conjunction with your medical history and clinical examination.
Results Timeline: Profile metrics are typically available within just 4 hours. Once your results are ready, they will be securely shared with you.
