Understanding Your Hormones. Understanding Your Fertility.
At Sparsh IVF, we believe the answers to many fertility questions lie in your hormones. A precise and well-timed hormonal evaluation is one of the most critical steps in your fertility workup. Whether you’re trying to conceive naturally or preparing for IVF, your body’s hormonal balance can reveal important clues about your reproductive health, cycle regularity, ovulation, and potential obstacles to conception.
That’s why we approach hormonal testing with the same care, accuracy, and transparency we apply to every part of your treatment plan.
Hormonal evaluation refers to a set of targeted blood tests done at specific times in your menstrual cycle. These tests help assess how well your reproductive system — including ovaries, pituitary gland, and thyroid — is functioning.
For women, these hormone levels impact egg development, ovulation, uterine lining health, and cycle regularity. For men, hormones affect sperm production, libido, and testicular function.
This evaluation helps our fertility experts understand the biochemical environment of your body — so your treatment can be personalized with precision.
Infertility is often hormonal in origin. Imbalances in just one or two hormones can cause:
Without a clear picture of your hormonal profile, fertility treatments — even IVF — may be less effective. That’s why we consider this one of the most foundational tests at Sparsh IVF.
Here are the key hormones evaluated as part of your workup:
| Hormone | Purpose |
|---|---|
| FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) | Assesses ovarian function; high FSH may suggest low egg reserve |
| LH (Luteinizing Hormone) | Helps identify PCOS, ovulation timing issues |
| AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone) | Measures ovarian reserve; stable across the cycle |
| Estradiol (E2) | Indicates follicle development and estrogen balance |
| TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) | Affects metabolism and menstrual cycle regularity |
| Prolactin | Elevated levels can prevent ovulation |
| Insulin & Glucose | Useful in evaluating PCOS and metabolic impact on fertility |
| DHEA/Testosterone | May be tested if androgen excess is suspected |
| Hormone | Purpose |
|---|---|
| FSH & LH | Regulate sperm production in the testes |
| Testosterone | Low levels may affect libido and sperm quality |
| Prolactin & TSH | May reveal underlying causes of sexual or sperm dysfunction |
These tests are usually done via a simple blood sample, with results available within 24–48 hours.
At Sparsh IVF, your care team will coordinate timing and instructions based on your individual case.

In short, hormonal evaluation personalizes your care and improves your chances of conception.
We don’t just hand over a report — we help you understand what it means for your fertility.
We understand that undergoing fertility testing, especially hormone-based ones, can be stressful or emotional. At Sparsh IVF, we treat every report not as a verdict — but as a tool for healing and clarity.
If you’ve experienced irregular periods, unexplained infertility, PCOS, or previous failed treatments, it may be time for a detailed hormonal evaluation.
