Luteinising hormone (LH) Testing

How to check your Luteinising hormone levels with a home fingerprick blood test kit

What Is A Luteinising hormone Test For?

A Luteinising hormone test is also known as a Lutropin, lutrophin or Interstitial cell stimulating hormone test.

Luteinising hormone is a hormone present in the blood which helps regulate the reproductive system, especially that of women (their ovaries) and in men (their testes).

It is made in your pituitary gland, sometimes referred to as the 'master gland' due to its importance in hormonal control.

Luteinising hormone helps regulate the menstrual cycle and help determine fertility when pregnancy is planned or are used to gauge the onset of the menopause.

What If Luteinising hormone Test Levels Are High?

Luteinising hormone controls the rate of testosterone production in men. So high LH and FSH levels can be due to testicular failure.

In women, increased levels of LH and FSH are often seen with primary ovarian failure. This can occur for many reasons, including when a woman enters the menopause and her ovaries stop working.

Further hormone blood tests and a clinical investigation is required.

What If Luteinising hormone Test Levels Are Low?

Low LH levels in men can lead to low testosterone levels, which in turn can lead to a low sex drive and general fatigue.

In women, when both FSH and LH are low, this can indicate secondary ovarian failure.

Further investigation is required to determine the cause.

Why Take The Luteinising Hormone Test?

Our Female Hormone home blood test kit allows you to measure essential female sex hormones.

It is recommended for all women over 35 to assess your risk from the menopause.

If you do have the menopause, we also recommend monitoring your Bone Health as lowered oestrogen levels put you at an increased risk of developing osteoporosis (weak bones).

Note: If you are still having periods then as female hormones fluctuate over time in a natural rhythm it is important this test is taken on day three of your menstrual cycle (where day one is the first day of your period). We recommend your periods have returned to a regular cycle before testing, if you have recently stopped hormone replacement or contraception.
