Ovulation and your cycle
LH, FSH & prolactinLH triggers ovulation, FSH controls how your eggs mature, and high prolactin can disrupt both. Together they show whether ovulation is working as it should.

Test 12 fertility hormones at home with a simple blood test. Analysed in an accredited lab, with no referral and no year-long wait for public care.
“I know getting pregnant can take time. But I don't want to stress myself out for nothing. And I don't want to lose valuable time either.”
Mikaela, Maybe Baby Complete user

LH triggers ovulation, FSH controls how your eggs mature, and high prolactin can disrupt both. Together they show whether ovulation is working as it should.

Hormonal imbalance can show up as low energy or a change in libido, and can be a sign of PMOS. DHEA-S, SHBG and testosterone show where you stand.

AMH reflects your ovarian reserve, an indication of how many eggs you have. A high value can also be a sign of PMOS, so we look at it together with your other hormones.

Tiredness, weight changes and a feeling of running at half speed can come from your thyroid. The test shows whether your thyroid could be behind it.

Low energy is often put down to stress or sleep, but low iron and ferritin can be behind it too, and can even go as far as affecting ovulation.

“I think MaybeBaby is an amazing way to test your hormones when regular healthcare says no. It’s about being able, as a woman, to get answers and peace of mind, or a helping hand EARLY. Not waiting a year. I’m glad there’s an alternative to otherwise inadequate women’s healthcare.”
“I highly recommend doing this if you’re curious about your fertility. It’s about so much more than just checking your egg reserve. The whole picture is so important, and this test gives you everything you need to know where you stand if you want to have children. For me personally it has been extremely positive for my health, because thanks to the test I found out that I need to sort out my thyroid to feel better and to be able to have a healthy pregnancy in the future.”
You can pay a private clinic, wait a year for public care, or test at home with Maybe Baby. Not only does the price differ, so does what actually gets tested:
* Private clinic: a first visit with hormone tests and a follow-up call, based on published price lists in October 2026.
** Public care: after 12 months of trying, with regional requirements on age and BMI.
Yes, very. Our sampling method is validated by an independent hospital lab, where capillary blood (the small finger prick) was compared with traditional venous blood tests (taken from the arm) on 60-125 people per hormone.
The results show a correlation of 0.85-0.98 for the most important fertility and sex hormones, which in practice means the sample you take at home gives results comparable to blood tests taken in healthcare.
Your samples are analysed by ISO 15189-accredited laboratories (accredited via COFRAC) used by doctors and fertility specialists, following the same quality standards healthcare uses for clinical assessment.
Maybe Baby's test is for anyone who wants to understand their fertility better, whether you are curious, planning for the future or just want a better handle on your hormones and your health.
No test can answer with full certainty. But it can help explain common reasons why it is taking time to get pregnant. By analysing fertility-related hormones, the test can highlight things like ovulation problems, PMOS or thyroid imbalance, and give you clarity and a way forward.
Maybe Baby Egg Check (AMH test) analyses just one hormone, AMH, and gives you an indication of your egg quantity.
Maybe Baby Complete (fertility test) analyses 12 markers and gives you a complete picture of your hormone profile, including thyroid health, signs of PMOS and more.
In short:
Maybe Baby Egg Check = a quick check of your egg reserve
Maybe Baby Complete = full hormonal insight
Yes, absolutely. You can take the test even if you use a hormonal IUD, the pill or other hormonal contraception.
Once you have ordered your test you answer a number of questions about your health and any contraception. That information helps us adapt the analysis so you get as relevant and accurate a report as possible.
AMH test (Maybe Baby Egg Check): AMH can be tested reliably even if you are on hormonal contraception.
Fertility test (Maybe Baby Complete): Hormonal contraception affects the body's own hormone production, so we exclude three specific hormones that could otherwise give misleading results (FSH, LH and prolactin). But you still get answers on 9 of 12 biomarkers that are important for understanding your body and fertility better.
The best time to take your home test is on day 3 of your cycle (day 1 is the first day you bleed). Then your hormones are at their baseline and the results are most reliable. Days 2-5 also work, but day 3 is optimal.
If you have irregular periods
We recommend waiting until your period arrives to get the most out of the test. If your cycle is longer than 45 days you can test any time. The answers can then help identify what is causing the irregularity, so you get the information sooner.
If you don't have periods or are on hormonal contraception
You can take the test any time. With hormonal contraception we don't test LH, FSH and prolactin, since they are affected by the contraceptive and would give misleading results. AMH and the other markers can still be analysed.
When you are trying to conceive it is common to start wondering whether everything is working as it should. Testing your hormones can give more clarity around ovulation, hormone balance and other common factors that can affect fertility, and help you understand whether there is anything worth following up earlier.
It doesn't automatically mean something is wrong, or that you will have trouble getting pregnant. Some values can sit outside the reference range without affecting fertility, while others may be worth following up. Hormone levels also shift with everyday things like stress and sleep, so a single value is a starting point rather than a verdict.
That is why you don't just get numbers, but a personal report that helps you understand what the results mean for you. If you want to go further, you can also book a digital consultation with a fertility doctor as an add-on.
If something stands out, it can give you answers earlier in the process so you avoid going more cycles wondering.
With Maybe Baby Egg Check we analyse AMH, a biomarker that reflects your egg reserve.
With Maybe Baby Complete you get a broader picture with 12 markers covering egg reserve, ovulation, androgens and hormone balance, thyroid and energy.
A clinical fertility investigation can include several parts, such as blood tests, sperm tests and ultrasound, so our test doesn't replace one. The Maybe Baby home test measures the hormones that are usually the first step in such an investigation.
You get a handle on your hormones at home, at your own pace. And if you want to go further the option is there, both digitally and in person. Via our selected partner clinics you can add, for example, an ultrasound for a complete medical assessment.
Your results are yours. They are encrypted, stored within the EU, and never sold or shared. You decide whether to show your report to a doctor.
