Fertility Labs Decoded: Know Your Numbers + What They Mean

Ever wonder what your fertility labs actually mean? In this episode, Dr. D breaks down every major hormone test you’re likely to see on your fertility journey—LH, Estradiol, AMH, Progesterone, TSH, and more. He explains what number ranges are ideal, what high or low levels might signal, and why the timing of your lab work matters. You’ll also get answers to common follow-up questions like:

Does low AMH mean I’m infertile?

Can I change my levels?

Are at-home tests reliable?

Plus, learn why your labs are only one piece of the puzzle when it comes to treatments like IVF and IUI. As always, we aim to empower you to ask better questions, understand your body, and make informed decisions on your fertility journey.
