Hormones influence everything from fertility and menstrual cycles to mood and metabolism, making prioritizing hormonal health important for women at every stage of life.

Here are common hormone questions — and how Labcorp OnDemand makes understanding your hormonal health easy.

What are common symptoms of a hormonal imbalance?

  • Irregular menstrual periods or difficulty conceiving
  • Mood swings
  • Fatigue or low energy
  • Dry skin or trouble concentrating

Why test my hormone levels?

  • Progesterone: Monitor + track ovulation to aid in family-planning or to understand your menstrual cycle.
  • Estradiol (E2): Test the most common type of estrogen to get insights into your reproductive health.
