Male Fertility (Sex Hormones) Home Test Kit
Check male sex hormones and assess infertility risk
When you are trying for a baby, it is easy to end up guessing. Appointments can take time, semen testing can feel awkward, and symptoms like fatigue, lower libido, or mood changes can leave you unsure what is relevant.
This test measures key male reproductive hormones from a finger-prick blood sample: testosterone, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinising hormone (LH), and prolactin. These results cannot confirm or rule out fertility on their own, but abnormal levels can point to issues with sperm production or testicular function and help guide what to explore next.
If you want a clearer picture of your reproductive hormone status before taking further steps, this test is a straightforward place to start.

What the Male Fertility (Sex Hormones) test is for
Trying for a baby can quickly become a cycle of waiting, guessing, and wondering whether anything is off. Semen analysis remains the standard way to assess male fertility, but it is not always easy to access and the process can feel uncomfortable. A home blood test can add useful context by checking the hormones that regulate sperm production and testicular function, giving you a clearer starting point before deciding what to do next.
This home test kit measures key male reproductive hormones from a finger-prick sample, including testosterone, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinising hormone (LH), and prolactin. Together, these markers help build a picture of how your brain and testes are signalling to one another. For example, testosterone and FSH are closely linked to sperm production, while LH helps control testicular function and stimulates testosterone production. Prolactin is also included because changes in levels can be associated with sexual and psychological health.
Testing from home cannot confirm or rule out fertility on its own, and normal results do not exclude problems such as sperm quality issues. If results are outside the expected range, they can point towards areas that may need further investigation, such as possible disruption in hormone signalling or reduced testicular function. That clarity can make conversations with a clinician more focused, and help you decide whether semen analysis or further assessment is worth pursuing.

Follicle-stimulating hormone is a crucial sex hormone associated with fertility. It should be measured by both partners when there is difficulty in getting pregnant.
In women, it is involved in egg development and should be tested if you have irregular or no menstrual periods.
In men it plays a role in sperm production so should be checked if you have a lowered sperm count, low muscle mass or decreased sex drive.
