It plays an important role during pregnancy by helping to prepare the uterus to support a fertilized egg. Progesterone also helps prepare the breasts for milk production. Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH): The pituitary gland produces FSH. In women FSH helps manage the menstrual cycle and stimulates the ovaries to produce eggs. In men FSH stimulates the production of sperm. Luteinizing Hormone (LH): LH is produced in the pituitary gland and plays an important role in sexual development. In females LH helps regulate the menstrual cycle and triggers the release of an egg from the ovary, also known as ovulation. In males LH causes the testes to produce testosterone. Cortisol: Often referred to as the "Stress hormone", cortisol is produced by the adrenal glands. Cortisol helps fight infections, maintain blood pressure, and regulate blood sugar and metabolism.

TSH levels that are too high or low may be a sign of hyperthyroidism. Testosterone: Testosterone is mainly produced by the testes in males and in smaller amounts by ovaries in females. Testosterone is important in the production of sperm in males, body fat distribution, bone density, and libido.
