Checks FSH, LH, oestradiol, progesterone and testosterone, the main hormones used to help assess menopause and perimenopause symptoms.
5 biomarkers as listed by Blue Horizon Medicals.
This panel measures FSH, LH, oestradiol and progesterone, the main hormones used to help assess where someone is in the menopause transition, plus testosterone, which is increasingly recognised as relevant to wellbeing around this time. Interpreting the pattern of these hormones together, alongside your GP's assessment of your symptoms, is generally more useful than looking at any one marker alone.
With 5 markers this test matches the median exactly across the 15 comparable menopause and perimenopause tests we track. On price it performs well, costing £70.25 against a group median of £99, around 29% less. Medichecks and London Medical Laboratory also offer 5-marker panels, at £69 and £79; this test costs slightly more than Medichecks but less than London Medical Laboratory for the same depth. YorkTest and MyHealthChecked are cheaper still but test fewer markers, while Numan and Selph test more markers for more money.
Collection convenience scores a perfect 10: you can use an at-home finger-prick kit or opt for a clinic or nurse home visit, with results back in around a day. The listing is thoroughly documented, results are reviewed by a doctor, and Blue Horizon uses UKAS ISO 15189 partner labs, with a Trustpilot score of 4.2 from 395 reviews.
This suits women noticing possible perimenopause or menopause symptoms who want a hormone panel to discuss with their GP, or who want to track hormone levels over time as part of managing the transition. If price is the priority and fewer markers are acceptable, YorkTest's 2-marker test at £55 or MyHealthChecked's 3-marker test at £57 cost less; if you want more markers than the five here, Numan (9 markers, £98) and Selph (12 markers, £99) go deeper for more money. Medichecks offers the identical 5 markers for slightly less at £69.
You can collect a sample at home using a finger-prick kit, or choose a venous draw at a clinic or a nurse home visit. Results are typically available within around a day and are reviewed by a doctor before you receive them.
A five-hormone menopause panel covering FSH, LH, oestradiol, progesterone and testosterone, priced at £70.25, around 29% below the £99 median for comparable menopause tests. It matches the depth of Medichecks' and London Medical Laboratory's 5-marker tests, costing a little more than Medichecks but less than London Medical Laboratory, and can be done entirely at home.

Broadest perimenopause and menopause panel in its group
Checks thyroid function, cholesterol, blood sugar and vitamin D, markers linked to health risks around perimenopause and menopause. Suited to women wanting a wider risk check, though it doesn't test reproductive hormones such as FSH or oestradiol.
Cheapest 5-marker menopause panel in this group
Checks five hormone markers, including FSH, LH and oestradiol alongside thyroid hormones, to help assess menopause or perimenopause. Suited to women with symptoms like hot flushes, irregular periods or mood changes.
Deepest panel among the shown peers, priciest too
Checks 14 markers covering cholesterol, thyroid, blood sugar and vitamin D, aimed at women wanting a wider picture of heart, bone and metabolic health around menopause.
5-hormone menopause panel priced below the group median
A blood test measuring FSH, LH, oestradiol, testosterone and thyroid-stimulating hormone, used together to help assess whether symptoms are linked to menopause or a thyroid problem instead. Suits women investigating perimenopause or menopause symptoms.
More markers than most menopause tests, no doctor review
This blood test measures nine hormones and thyroid markers linked to the menopause transition, including oestradiol, FSH and LH. It suits women approaching or in menopause who want a broader hormone and thyroid check than a basic screen.
Cheapest named menopause test here, but fewest markers
An at-home finger-prick test measuring FSH and LH, two hormones commonly used to assess menopause and perimenopause status. Suited to women approaching menopausal age.
Priced well under its group median, modest on markers
Measures three key hormones (oestradiol, progesterone and FSH) to help indicate whether you are entering or in perimenopause or menopause. Suits women noticing menstrual cycle changes or menopause-type symptoms who want an initial hormone check.
Cheaper nurse-kit version of Better2Know's menopause panel
The same five-marker hormone panel as Better2Know's clinic Menopause Screen (LH, FSH, oestradiol, TSH, FT4), collected via a nurse-administered venous draw that you send to the lab by post, rather than attending a clinic.
Same marker count as Selph, but £69 more
This blood test measures 12 hormone, thyroid and fertility-related markers, including AMH, linked to perimenopause symptoms. It suits women wanting a detailed hormone picture alongside symptoms like hot flushes or cycle changes.
Cheaper than most peers, but tests only one marker
A single FSH blood test used alongside your symptoms to help indicate whether you are approaching or experiencing menopause.
Standard depth, priced above comparable menopause tests
A five-marker hormone panel covering LH, FSH, oestradiol and thyroid function (TSH, FT4), used to help assess menopausal or perimenopausal status in women experiencing symptoms such as hot flushes or irregular periods.
Priciest menopause panel in its group, but doctor-reviewed
A 5-marker blood test covering FSH, oestradiol, testosterone, SHBG and TSH, used to assess hormonal changes around perimenopause and menopause, with a GP consultation included. Suited to women exploring symptoms or planning HRT.
Maps hormones across your cycle, but priciest peer
A perimenopause test that maps four reproductive hormones across your cycle using two timed finger-prick samples on day 14 and day 21.
