Description:
Estradiol Blood Test (Labcorp)
This test measures Estradiol levels in the blood. Estradiol is one of the primary components of estrogens. Estradiol concentrations are typically highest in non-pregnant, pre-menopausal women. During menopause, as ovarian function decreases, Estradiol levels drop significantly. Estradiol testing can help to monitor ovarian function in women with fertility issues. It may also be useful for women undergoing hormone therapy during menopause or girls experiencing signs of early puberty.
Estradiol testing is typically ordered for women who are experiencing infertility, abnormal menstruation or symptoms of menopause. Testing may be ordered for boys who are experiencing delayed puberty or men with symptoms of testosterone deficiency.
Estradiol is often ordered with an Estrone Test.
Turnaround time for the Estradiol test is typically 1 business day.

It is recommended that someone taking Biotin (also known as vitamin B7 or B8, vitamin H, or coenzyme R) stop consumption at least 72 hours prior to the collection of a sample.
