The secretion of hormones differs in different stages of a menstrual cycle, which would affect the chance of ovulation and fertilization. It also affects the length and volume of a cycle. Therefore, by testing the secretion pattern of hormones, the reason for infertility and irregular cycle could be found.
Hormonal Causes of Infertility
Low Progesterone/ Luteal Phase Defect
belly fat, increased appetite, sugar cravings, impaired thyroid and metabolism
PCOS
It affects 6-15% of women. Once PCOS is recognized, many women are able to become pregnant and lose weight more effectively
Thyroid Disorders
Low level of thyroid hormone may stop ovulation, leads to absent or irregular cycles. Autoimmune thyroid issues can increase the risk of miscarriage.
Low Egg Reserve
It could be caused by premature ovarian failure.
Stress
High cortisol level that brought by stress can inhibit ovulation, while low cortisol hinder the immune changes necessary for implantation. Stress could also lead to endometriosis, which is found in more than 50% of women with unexplained infertility.

HK BioTek Technology Competence
• Sample will be sent to ZRT Laboratory in the United States for analysis, which is the only specialty hormone laboratory to have qualified for the CDC’s Hormone Standardization Program (HoSt).
• All hormone test are analysed with reference ranges for individual patient ages, menstrual status, and hormone supplementation.
• ZRT is the only laboratory to perform an extraction process for saliva testing, which separates hormones from background contamination. This ensures accurate test results for low-concentration hormones
