Targeted Hormone Panels

Targeted Hormone Panels at Mooney MD Center for Reproductive Care are carefully structured blood test profiles that focus on what truly matters for fertility, menstrual health, perimenopause, menopause, and low testosterone. Instead of ordering scattered tests, we group hormones and related markers in a way that answers specific clinical questions.

For reproductive-age women, panels may include pituitary and ovarian hormones (FSH, LH, estradiol, progesterone), androgens, prolactin, and thyroid function, often timed to particular cycle days. This helps us understand ovulation patterns, ovarian reserve, PCOS features, and luteal function. For men, we often assess total and free testosterone, LH, FSH, estradiol, SHBG, and sometimes prolactin and thyroid, to clarify the cause of low testosterone symptoms or semen abnormalities.

We also offer midlife-focused profiles that combine reproductive hormones with thyroid and key metabolic markers such as fasting glucose, insulin, and lipids. These panels allow us to tie symptoms-hot flashes, weight changes, mood shifts, fatigue, low libido-to underlying physiology instead of guessing.

Blood draws are performed on-site, with careful attention to timing and preparation instructions. Once results return, Dr. Stephen Mooney reviews them in context: your age, medications, medical history, and goals. We walk through each marker in plain language, explain how they fit together, and discuss what is truly concerning versus what is a normal variant.

From there, we can recommend appropriate next steps: hormone optimization strategies, further imaging or semen analysis, medication adjustments, or fertility treatments such as ovulation induction, IUI, or IVF. For patients already treated elsewhere, our panel interpretation can either confirm your current plan or suggest alternatives worth discussing.

When appropriate, follow-up consultations can be conducted via telemedicine for patients in our licensed states, with updated panels drawn periodically to track response. These targeted hormone profiles turn vague symptoms into actionable information and support informed, confident decisions about your reproductive and midlife health.
