About the event

Join us as Buki Fatuga, Deputy Chair of RCN Fertility Nursing forum, explains the key hormones involved in conception including AMH, FSH, LH, oestrogen, progesterone, and thyroid hormones and what each test can reveal about your reproductive health.

Together, we’ll break down how and when these tests are performed, what the results mean, and how they guide fertility treatment decisions. We’ll also discuss common misconceptions about hormone levels and what’s considered ‘normal’ across different ages and circumstances.
