About this test

This kit measures follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) from an at-home finger-prick blood sample. FSH is commonly used to assess ovarian reserve and menstrual cycle regularity in women, and low or high levels can be linked to menstrual irregularities or the timing of puberty and menopause.

Within its comparison group of FSH tests, this kit's £69.95 price sits close to the £60.25 median, roughly 16% above it. Medichecks offers a comparable FSH test for £52, and Check My Body Health sells an at-home FSH self-test for £11.99, though that is a simpler self-read format rather than a lab-analysed blood sample. This home kit is also £105.05 cheaper than Better2Know's own clinic-based version of the same test.

Collection convenience scores highly because the sample can be taken entirely at home with results back within a day. Clinical depth reflects that this is a single-marker test where depth is not the main consideration. 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 a straightforward at-home FSH check, for example when looking into menstrual irregularities or possible menopause symptoms, without the cost of Better2Know's £175 clinic version. If price is the priority, Medichecks offers a comparable lab-analysed FSH test for £52, or Check My Body Health's £11.99 self-test if a simpler format suits you. Speak to a GP to interpret abnormal results.

How it works

You collect a finger-prick blood sample at home and post it to Better2Know's laboratory. Results are typically available within one working day of the sample arriving, accessed through the online patient area; the provider does not state that a doctor reviews them as standard.
