The Fertility Hormone Test

Unfortunately, Kin is unable to access any Medicare rebates at this point in time due to telehealth regulations (we’re working on changing this!).

Some private health insurers may cover you for Kin’s video consultations. As each insurer and insurance plan is different, please consult your insurance provider to find out whether you are able to get your rebates.

If you are wondering whether this test can tell you if you’re infertile, or your chances of falling pregnant, the answer is no. No test can tell you this.

Your hormones are just one important piece of the puzzle that can tell you a lot of other things.

The answers you get from this test will help you make decisions regarding hormonal imbalances that might affect your chances of conceiving, whether or not to freeze your eggs, when to start thinking about a family, and what to discuss with your doctor.

With the information you learn about your hormones, you are better positioned to make decisions about when (and if) you want to start a family, whether or not egg freezing might be for you, and take action if your proactive tests show any red flags.

Fertility testing is about arming ourselves with knowledge about our fertility earlier in life. Science can tell us a lot, but it can be confusing.

This fertility test has been designed to help you use science to inform your family planning decisions and do what’s extremely personal and right for you. And, if things interrupt your timeline, give you options.

With a simple hormone blood test, you don’t have to wonder, you can get answers.

You can expect your results to come back within 7-10 business days.

From here, you’ll be asked to schedule an appointment in with a Kin doctor online to have your results interpreted.

If your hormone panel contains E2, FSH or LH, it’s a good idea to test on Day 2-5 of your period.

To identify this, count Day 1 of your period as the first day of a full flow that begins before 5pm. If you’re unsure, just email [email protected] and the team will get right back to you with next steps.

It's important that you only present your pathology request form at one of our designated collection centres:

QML Pathology –  Queensland and Northern NSW

Laverty Pathology – New South Wales and Australian Capital Territory

Dorevitch Pathology – Victoria

TML Pathology – Tasmania

Abbott Pathology – South Australia

Western Diagnostics Pathology – Western Australia and Northern Territory

While a non-designated collection centre may accept your form, they will bill you again for the test.

Your Kin doctor will explain your results to you in your consult and give you clear next steps, personalised to you.

You will receive a dashboard of your results which you can always refer to and show your partner, GP or specialist.

The test is most accurate for women aged 25 to 45. As we want to make sure the Fertility Hormone Test will be most accurate for you and that the results are actionable and reflective of your situation, you unfortunately will not qualify for a Fertility Hormone Test via Kin if you are younger than 25 or older than 45.
