So you found a video, looked up some stuff about PCOS and premature menopause on Google, and are now panicking about your biological clock? Ok let’s take it this slow and steady.


The data is concerning

We are obsessed with data at Arva, and unfortunately, the data doesn’t look good. Let’s focus on 2 points here:

  • 1 in 6 Indian couples face infertility.

  • 1 in 5 women is diagnosed with PCOS, a condition that impacts fertility

Women are having children later than ever — that, coupled with our sedentary lifestyles, stressful jobs and lack of information is making pregnancy harder as time goes by.

Fertility isn’t something we really think about until we have to. But until our bodies catch up to our mental timeline, we’re going to have to address it more proactively.


Enter — Hormone Testing

A Fertility Hormone Test is a blood test that determines the levels of certain hormones in your body and how they can impact your health. 

Our hormones and endocrine system are responsible for so many functions like regulating hunger, metabolism, sleep, hair, etc. that testing them can give you a deeper insight into their role in your body and how they’re causing certain symptoms.

Arva’s Fertility Test has been curated to not only give you information about your fertility health but can also get to the root cause of annoying hormonal symptoms like dark chin hairs, weight fluctuations and more.


What do we look at?

There are thousands of different hormones, neurotransmitters and chemicals running through our body. How do we know what to test?

Well, we've curated this test with some of the best endocrinologists, gynaecologists, and infertility specialists in the country to ensure we look for the right indicators, specifically for Indian women. You can read about it in detail here.


How does it work?

Arva’s Fertility Test is a 3-step process:

  1. Book an appointment
    A member of the Arva Care Team will call to schedule your appointment

  2. Track your cycle
    The blood sample must be collected on Day 3 of your period.

  3. Collect the sample
    A friendly phlebotomist from our diagnostic partners will collect a blood sample from your home.


Bing, bang, boom! You get a personalised report less than 48 hours later with your results in language you can actually understand. No jargon or Doctor-handwriting-interpretation necessary.

But if you still have questions or concerns about the next steps, our empathetic team of doctors, nutritionists and wellness experts are available over call and email.

Knowledge is power. You’re just a click away
