Luteinizing hormone (LH) is primarily a fertility hormone present in both men and women. In women, LH affects the ovaries, stimulating ovulation and the synthesis of progesterone. In males, it affects the testes.
LH has a role in puberty, menstruation, and fertility. This test measures LH levels in the blood.

This test requires a blood draw, which can be done at your local clinic. It will be analysed by an accredited lab, such as Karolinska, Aleris or Unilabs. The first results are usually available within 48h.
What happens next?
The lab sends the results to your personal dashboard, with comments from both a doctor and a nutritionist. If results are abnormal, we recommend seeing a doctor and, if appropriate, booking an appointment with a Nordic Wellth nutrition lifestyle specialist.
