Thinking about freezing your eggs? Planning for IVF? Or just wondering if your hormones are normal?
You’ve probably come across the term “fertility hormone testing”—and felt overwhelmed trying to figure out where to start.
The good news? In Singapore, you have several options for testing your hormones—whether you want a basic AMH check or a full female hormone panel.
In this article, we’ll explain:
- What fertility hormone tests check for
- Where to get tested in Singapore
- How much it costs and what to expect at your appointment
Let’s take the guesswork out of it.
What Are Fertility Hormone Tests?
Fertility hormone tests measure the levels of specific hormones that control your ovulation, cycle, and ovarian reserve.
They’re used to:
- Assess your egg quantity and quality
- Diagnose conditions like PCOS or thyroid issues
- Inform decisions around egg freezing, IVF, or IUI
- Understand cycle irregularities or missed periods
Most tests are done via a simple blood draw, and timing is key—some hormones are best tested at specific points in your menstrual cycle.
P.S: You don’t need to be trying to get pregnant to benefit from this information. Many women use it to plan ahead.
Which Hormones Are Tested?
Here’s what’s typically included in a fertility hormone panel in Singapore:
| Hormone | What It Shows | When to Test |
| AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone) | Ovarian reserve—how many eggs you likely have left | Any time in cycle |
| FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone) | How hard your body is working to grow eggs | Day 2–3 of cycle |
| LH (Luteinizing Hormone) | Helps trigger ovulation, linked to PCOS | Day 2–3 of cycle |
| Estradiol (E2) | Estrogen level; affects egg growth and cycle | Day 2–3 of cycle |
| TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone) | Thyroid health, which impacts fertility | Anytime |
| Prolactin | High levels can suppress ovulation | Morning, fasting |
Some clinics may also offer DHEA, testosterone, or insulin if PCOS is suspected.
Where to Get Fertility Hormone Tests in Singapore
You have 3 main options:
1. Private Fertility Clinics
Best if you’re planning to freeze your eggs or start treatment. Most offer bundled testing + consultation packages. Expect more personalised interpretation.
Price: $250–$500 for full panel. AMH alone ~$100–$160.
2. Private Women’s Health Clinics
Ideal for screening or symptom investigation. Great for women unsure if they need treatment yet. These clinics often refer to fertility specialists if needed.
Price: $150–$350 depending on hormones tested.
3. Public Hospitals (Referral-Based)
You’ll need a referral for testing at NUH, SGH, or KKH unless you’re already under fertility care. Wait times can be longer, but costs may be subsidised for citizens and PRs.
Price: Subsidised rates, often lower than private clinics.
