twoplus Fertility Hormone Test Kit [1]

Cost: S$299.50

Availability: Singapore, United States

Who is it for: Women

 

What does it test for?

Made for women, our at-home Hormone Test Kit aims to provide a clear view of your reproductive health in the comfort of your own home. 

The test measures the levels of key fertility hormones, including:

  • Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH)
  • Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
  • Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
  • Free Thyroxine (T4)
  • Prolactin (PRL) 

With this test, you can glean information related to your egg health, ovarian function, thyroid function (which governs other lower-level hormones in the body), and menstrual irregularities.

 

How does it work?

This hormone test kit requires a blood sample to be taken. But don’t worry, you won’t have to make a trip to the doctor’s office. 

Instead, simply order your Hormone Test Kit online.

In Singapore

If you’re taking the test in Singapore, make an appointment to meet our phlebotomist. You can choose the time and location you prefer, including in the comfort of your own home or office. 

After the blood sample is taken — only a pinprick of the finger is needed — it will be sent to a reputable laboratory for testing on your behalf. Your results will be reviewed by a licensed general practitioner (note: this is not a doctor’s consultation).

You will then receive your test report within two weeks or less from the time you book the appointment to take your blood sample. 

In the United States

For those who reside in the U.S., the test gets even more convenient as a phlebotomist appointment isn’t necessary at all (note: there will be no doctor reviewing the hormone test). All you have to do is to follow the instructions in the kit and mail us your blood sample.

You’ll likely receive your test results in two weeks or less from the time you’ve mailed the sample back. 

 

What’s great about this hormone test

  • The twoplus Fertility Hormone Test Kit covers several important aspects of female fertility. This includes egg production capability, menstrual and ovulation issues, and ovarian health. It also measures thyroid function, which plays a crucial role in general well-being, fertility, and pregnancy.
  • You’ll receive a comprehensive and personalized report that clearly explains your hormone numbers and their significance. For hormone tests performed in Singapore, the test report is also vetted by a general practitioner. Do share your report with your primary care provider for a more in-depth diagnosis of your fertility health.
  • This hormone test is highly convenient, as you don’t have to visit a doctor’s office. For tests taken in Singapore, this would mean the phlebotomist comes to your home to ensure convenience and privacy. In the U.S., you only need to take your blood sample and mail it back. 

 

What’s not so great about this hormone test

  • The waiting time to receive your report is around 2 weeks.
