This is a single-marker blood test that measures progesterone, most often used around day 21 of the menstrual cycle to check whether ovulation has occurred. It suits people investigating fertility or irregular periods.
1 biomarker as listed by Better2Know.
This test measures progesterone, a hormone that rises after ovulation and helps prepare the body for pregnancy. Testing around day 21 of a typical cycle can indicate whether ovulation has taken place, which is useful if you are trying to conceive or investigating irregular, heavy or absent periods.
As a single-marker test it measures exactly what it sets out to, so clinical depth is not really in question here. What stands out is price: at £195 this is the most expensive of the six progesterone tests we track in this comparison group, well above the £45 median, and even above Better2Know's own clinic-based Progesterone Test at £175.
It scores well for clarity and documentation and for Collection Convenience, since you can test at home or at a clinic with a result within one working day. It scores poorly on value for money given how far above the group median it sits, and its Results and Follow-up score reflects that results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard.
This suits you if you specifically want a Better2Know home finger-prick kit and value not having to attend a clinic. If price matters more than the provider, Medichecks and London Medical Laboratory both offer the same single progesterone marker for £39, and Better2Know's own clinic-based version of this test is £20 cheaper at £175.
It is not a good fit if you need a doctor to interpret an abnormal result as part of the service, since that is not included as standard here.
You take a finger-prick blood sample at home and post it to the lab, or have a venous sample taken at a clinic for £175. Results are available within one working day of the sample reaching the laboratory, viewable in your secure online patient area, and Better2Know's Patient Services team contacts you once they are ready. Results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard, though Better2Know can arrange a private consultation if your result is abnormal.
This progesterone test costs £195 as a home finger-prick kit, more than any of the six comparable progesterone tests we track, including Better2Know's own clinic version at £175. It returns a result within a day and can be done at home or at a clinic, but a doctor does not review the result as standard. For the same marker at a fraction of the cost, Medichecks and London Medical Laboratory both charge £39.
