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.
5 biomarkers as listed by Bluecrest Wellness.
Five hormones commonly used to help understand hormonal changes around perimenopause and menopause are covered here: follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), oestradiol, testosterone, sex-hormone binding globulin (SHBG) and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). Current guidance suggests a blood test is not required to confirm menopause itself, but these markers can support monitoring of symptoms or of hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and results are reviewed in a GP consultation included with the test.
Within its comparison group, this is the most expensive option by some margin. YorkTest offers a 2-marker menopause test for £55, MyHealthChecked a 3-marker version for £57, and Bluecrest's own Menopause Hormone Profile covers a single marker for £65. Even Selph's 12-marker Perimenopause and Menopause Blood Test, the broadest test in the group, costs only £99. So the extra cost here buys the doctor consultation rather than a larger panel, since the marker count of 5 is around the group median.
The score reflects this balance. It scores well on clinical depth, matching the group's median of 5 markers, and on results and follow-up, since a doctor reviews the results, and well on clarity and trust, given the detailed description and Bluecrest's Trustpilot rating, own lab and CQC registration. value for money is weak, as £169 is 71% above the comparison group's median, and it loses marks on collection convenience, needing a venous draw at a clinic with results in around eight days.
This suits women who want a hormone panel alongside a GP consultation to discuss symptoms, HRT planning or monitoring, particularly if you are between 40 and 60 and experiencing symptoms such as hot flushes, mood changes or sleep disturbance. If your symptoms are significant or you are unsure what they mean, it is also worth speaking to your GP.
If you mainly want the blood markers without the consultation, every other test in this comparison group is cheaper, including Medichecks' 5-marker Menopause Blood Test at £69 and Selph's 12-marker Perimenopause and Menopause Blood Test at £99.
You attend a local Bluecrest venue for a venous blood draw, ideally before 11am and, if you are still menstruating, on day three of your cycle. The sample is sent to Bluecrest's own laboratory, with results typically ready in three to eight days, and a GP consultation is included to discuss the results.
Five hormone markers and a GP consultation make up the Advanced Menopause Profile, priced at £169. Every other test in its comparison group costs less, from YorkTest's £55, 2-marker test to Selph's £99, 12-marker test. The GP consultation is the main thing the extra cost buys, since the marker count itself is close to the group median.

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.
Same 5-hormone depth as top rivals, cheaper than most of them
Checks FSH, LH, oestradiol, progesterone and testosterone, the main hormones used to help assess menopause and perimenopause symptoms.
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.
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.
