Custom Preconception Test

This preconception test checks key health markers to support your wellness before pregnancy.

Customize Your Test

Preparing for pregnancy begins with understanding your overall health. The Preconception Test measures key biomarkers, including a metabolic panel, blood counts, thyroid hormones, and levels of vitamin B12, folate and vitamin D, to help you understand important aspects of your nutrition, thyroid function, and general wellness before trying to conceive.


These markers relate to areas of health that are important before and during early pregnancy. Identifying potential deficiencies or imbalances early gives you the opportunity to discuss next steps with your healthcare provider. This preconception lab panel is ideal for women who are planning to get pregnant soon, actively trying to conceive, or simply want to ensure their health is in a strong place before beginning their pregnancy journey.


Note: This test does not diagnose infertility or any medical condition. Always discuss abnormal results or pregnancy planning questions with a healthcare provider.

About This Test

What's Tested

Why Consider This Test

pregnancy icon

Planning a pregnancy soon?

Understanding your overall health before pregnancy can help you and your healthcare provider identify areas to address early, such as nutrient deficiencies or thyroid concerns. This pre-pregnancy test offers insights that may support healthy conception and early pregnancy.

nutritional status icon

Nutritional readiness matters

Conditions like low iron, folate, B12, or vitamin D levels are common and often correctable before pregnancy. Many medical guidelines emphasize the importance of good nutrition before pregnancy, including adequate folate, vitamin D, B12, and iron levels. These nutrients help support maternal health and early fetal development.

thyroid health icon

Assess thyroid health

This pre-pregnancy test includes thyroid-stimulating hormone and free T4 which helps assess thyroid function. Thyroid imbalance may affect menstrual cycles, ovulation, or early pregnancy. This test offers helpful information to support discussions with your healthcare provider as you plan or prepare for pregnancy.

FAQ

  • Before pregnancy, your healthcare provider may recommend routine bloodwork to check key aspects of your overall health. This helps identify any nutritional gaps, hormone imbalances, or underlying conditions that may affect fertility or a healthy pregnancy. Common health tests include:
     

    • Complete Blood Count (CBC): Checks red and white blood cells and platelets to screen for anemia, infection, or other blood-related conditions.
    • Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP): Evaluates kidney and liver function, electrolytes, and blood sugar levels to assess general wellness before conception.
    • Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) and Free T4: Measures thyroid function, which plays an important role in ovulation, energy levels, and early fetal development.
    • Vitamin D: Supports bone health, immune function, and healthy pregnancy outcomes.
    • Vitamin B12: Essential for red blood cell production, energy metabolism, and early fetal development.
    • Folate (Vitamin B9): Critical for cell growth and helps support healthy neural tube development in early pregnancy.


    Your healthcare provider may recommend additional tests based on your medical history or risk factors.

  • You can take this test any time before trying to get pregnant. You may choose to take this test before conception and allow time to optimize nutrient levels and address any health concerns.

  • This test does not assess fertility alone. Instead, it provides insights into key health factors, such as thyroid levels, vitamin status, and metabolic health, that support a healthy pregnancy. If you are interested in fertility testing, consider adding our hormone panel that provides insights into your ovarian reserve, Women’s Fertility Ovarian Reserve Test.

  • No. Low nutrient levels or out of range markers do not diagnose infertility. Many imbalances, such as low folate, vitamin D deficiency, or anemia, can be corrected with supplements or lifestyle changes. Discuss your results with a healthcare provider for guidance.

  • Yes, through Ovia Health by Labcorp. Ovia’s cycle tools help you understand your body’s patterns and what you're experiencing. With Ovia, you can predict ovulation with a personalized fertility forecast, get daily fertility scores, track regular or irregular cycles, and log everything from moods to nutrition, helping you to better understand your reproductive health.
