β-HCG, Progesterone (P4) & Oestrogen (E2)
Clarify your early pregnancy hormone status with confidence.
This panel measures three key reproductive hormones to help assess early pregnancy viability, confirm ovulation, and evaluate ovarian function. It is suitable for anyone investigating fertility concerns, monitoring early pregnancy, or seeking clarity on hormonal balance.
Hormones
- Progesterone (P4): A hormone produced mainly by the ovaries after ovulation. It prepares the womb lining for a possible pregnancy and helps maintain early pregnancy. Low levels may indicate problems with ovulation or an increased risk of early pregnancy loss.
- Oestrogen (E2): The primary form of oestrogen, produced by the ovaries. It plays a central role in the menstrual cycle, follicle development, and pregnancy support. Levels help assess ovarian reserve and response to fertility treatment.
- Beta human chorionic gonadotropin (β-HCG): A hormone produced by the developing placenta after implantation. It is the most reliable marker for confirming pregnancy and monitoring its early progress. Rising levels generally indicate a healthy pregnancy, while slow or falling levels may suggest an ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage.
Why it matters
Understanding these hormone levels can provide vital information about your reproductive health, help confirm a suspected pregnancy, and guide timely clinical decisions. Whether you are trying to conceive, undergoing fertility treatment, or experiencing early pregnancy symptoms, this panel offers clear, actionable insight to support your next steps with your doctor.
