Checks oestradiol (E2), the main oestrogen hormone, relevant to fertility, menopause and general hormone health. Sample is taken by venous draw at a clinic or during a nurse visit.
1 biomarker as listed by Better2Know.
Oestradiol (E2) is the main form of oestrogen circulating in the blood. It is commonly checked when investigating fertility, monitoring the approach to menopause, or looking into symptoms linked to low or high oestrogen, such as hot flushes or irregular cycles. This is a single-marker test, so related hormones such as FSH and LH are not included.
Compared with the other single oestradiol tests we track, £175 sits well above Forth's £40, Medichecks' £49 and Blue Horizon Medicals' £64.25, though it undercuts Better2Know's own nurse home-visit version at £195. That gap between this test and its external competitors is the main driver of its weak value for money score. It scores strongly for clarity, since the listing states the biomarker, sample type, turnaround and collection options clearly, and for clinical depth, because it measures exactly the single hormone it sets out to.
The collection convenience score reflects that you need a venous draw, whether at a clinic or during a nurse visit, with results back quickly. Trust signals draw on Better2Know's 4.2 Trustpilot rating from 775 reviews, its CQC registration, and 18 years of trading. Results and follow-up scores lower because the result is not reviewed by a doctor as standard.
This is a reasonable choice if you want to test oestradiol specifically and are happy to attend a clinic or arrange a nurse visit, and you would rather avoid the extra £20 that Better2Know charges for its home nurse-kit version. If price is the main concern, Forth, Medichecks and Blue Horizon Medicals all offer the same single oestradiol test for a fraction of the cost. Because there is no doctor review as standard, this suits monitoring a level you already understand rather than a first look into new symptoms, for which a GP is a sensible first step.
A venous blood sample is taken at a clinic or during a nurse visit, then sent to the lab for analysis; a home nurse-kit version is also available for £195. Results are typically ready within a day of the sample reaching the lab and are provided through Better2Know's online patient area. The fact sheet does not state that a doctor reviews results as standard.
Priced at £175, this clinic-based oestradiol test is £20 cheaper than Better2Know's own nurse home-visit version but still well above Forth (£40), Medichecks (£49) and Blue Horizon Medicals (£64.25), all of which test the same single hormone. You attend a clinic or arrange a nurse visit rather than collecting a sample yourself. Results are not doctor-reviewed as standard.
The listing publishes a detailed description, the full biomarker list, a stated turnaround, clear collection options, the sample type; it does not state what the report looks like.
A single-marker test measuring exactly what it sets out to; depth is not the point of this comparison group.
A blood sample taken at home by a visiting nurse or phlebotomist; with a venous or clinic option as well; a home nurse visit is offered; results in around 1 days, well ahead of the womens hormones norm of 2.
Results are not doctor-reviewed and no consultation is included; the provider does not describe the report format.

Cheaper than most oestradiol tests, and home-collectable
Measures oestradiol, the main form of oestrogen, relevant to fertility, menstrual cycle changes, hormone therapy monitoring and symptoms such as hot flushes or low libido. A single-marker test suited to targeted hormone checks.
Cheapest oestradiol test we compare
A single-marker blood test measuring oestradiol, one of the three main oestrogen hormones, for tracking levels linked to your cycle, fertility or menopause.
Mid-priced oestradiol test against its comparison group
This blood test measures oestradiol (E2), a hormone commonly used to assess ovarian function in women and hormone levels linked to gynaecomastia in men. It suits anyone who needs a single, focused oestradiol reading rather than a wider hormone panel.
The most expensive way to test oestradiol here
Measures oestradiol (E2), the main oestrogen hormone, useful for checking ovarian function, fertility concerns or menopause symptoms. A nurse visits you to take the blood sample rather than a self-collected finger-prick.
