As I am sure you are aware a woman's fertility starts to decline after she gets to 30 but what you probably did not know is that the hormone F.S.H. (follicle stimulating hormone) is intimately involved with a woman's fertility and rising levels tend to be associated with reduced fertility. F.S.H. is the hormone that maintains the regular function of your ovaries and sex hormones it is a useful aid to assessing your fertility.

This test is especially useful for women with irregular cycles and women aged 30 or over. 2 tests are included and if both test results are positive it is an indicator of reduced fertility.

How good are these tests?

These tests have been fully tested and approved for use for home use by both the FDA (USA) and the CE (European Community).

What does the test involve?

This test is suitable for you to do at home and measures the levels of F.S.H. in a sample of your urine (includes 2 tests).

Why do I need this test?

The hormone F.S.H. can be raised in women with irregular periods and will steadily rise as a woman gets older. As menopause approaches the levels get particularly high and act as an early warning system. With this test a negative result is going to be good news although its not proof of fertility. A positive test result suggests your fertility is reduced and we recommend that you see your doctor to discuss the results and perhaps have more tests done.

When do you use the Test ?

The first morning urine is recommended because it contains the highest levels of F.S.H. Testing at any other time of the day may give false negative test results.

How do you use the Test?

Read all instructions carefully before performing the test.

•  When ready to urinate remove the test stick from the foil pouch. Discard the foil packet.
•  Remove the protective cap from the test stick to expose the absorbent tip. Do not throw the cap away.
• Hold the test stick by the thumb grip with the exposed absorbent tip pointing downwards and place directly into the urine stream for at least 10 seconds, until it is thoroughly wet. If you prefer you may urinate into a clean cup then immerse the absorbent tip into the urine for 10-15 seconds.
• Remove the test from the urine stream and replace the protective cap over the wet absorbent tip.
• Lay the test stick on a clean, even surface with the viewing windows facing upwards, while you wait for the result. You may notice a pink colour moving across the windows as the test begins to work.
• Wait five minutes before reading the result.

If the test line is as dark or darker than the control line this is a positive result for raised FSH levels and is indicative of reduced fertility so you should book an appointment with your medical professional to discuss these results.
