About this test

The Female Hormone Screen measures follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), oestradiol, prolactin and luteinising hormone from a venous blood sample. These are hormones commonly used to look at ovulation, menstrual cycle regularity and fertility, and the provider notes the test is also relevant if you are planning a pregnancy or experiencing irregular periods, weight gain or fatigue.

Within its comparison group of 15 female hormone panels, this test's four biomarkers sit below the group median of eight, and its £225 price is well above the group median of £98; every listed peer, including panels from Randox Health, Medichecks and Forth, costs less, with some testing more markers for under £100. Better2Know also sells a nurse-kit version of the same four-hormone panel, collected at home, for £125.

The clarity and documentation score is high because the listing sets out a detailed description, the full biomarker list, turnaround and collection options, though it does not describe what the results report looks like. Trust signals reflect Better2Know's Trustpilot rating and CQC registration. Results and follow-up is marked down because the test is not doctor-reviewed as standard.

Who is it for?

This suits you if you want these four hormones checked at a clinic appointment or via a nurse home visit, for example when investigating irregular periods, fertility or possible menopause symptoms. If cost matters, Better2Know's own nurse-kit version of the same panel costs £100 less at £125, and competitors such as Randox Health (from £46) and Medichecks (from £79) test similar or more hormones for a lower price. Consider a broader panel, such as Forth's 11-marker kit at £89, if you want wider hormone coverage. Speak to a GP if you have ongoing symptoms that concern you.

How it works

You provide a venous blood sample, either at a Better2Know clinic or via a home nurse visit, which is sent to the laboratory for analysis. Results are typically available within one working day of the sample reaching the lab, and you access them through the online patient area; the provider does not state that a doctor reviews them as standard.
