A single FSH blood test used alongside your symptoms to help indicate whether you are approaching or experiencing menopause.
1 biomarker as listed by Bluecrest Wellness.
This test measures Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH), a hormone produced by the pituitary gland that typically rises as ovarian function declines with age. A raised FSH level is commonly used, alongside your symptoms, to help indicate menopause, and can also support wider investigation into ovarian or pituitary function.
With just one biomarker, this test sits well below the median of 5 markers across the 15 tests in its comparison group, one of the least clinically deep options we track for menopause and perimenopause. On price it does better: at £65, it is 34% below the £99 comparison-group median. But two named peers beat it on both counts: YorkTest's Menopause Test covers 2 markers for £55, and MyHealthChecked's Menopause Profile Blood Test covers 3 markers for £57, both cheaper than Bluecrest and both broader.
Clarity scores well, with a detailed description, the marker clearly named, sample type and turnaround stated. Results and follow-up score lower because there is no doctor review included as standard, and Bluecrest itself notes that symptoms and results should be reviewed together rather than relying on FSH alone.
This may suit you if you specifically want an FSH reading, for example to support wider menopause or fertility investigations already under way, and would rather test at a local Bluecrest venue than use a home kit. If you want a broader hormone picture for a similar or lower price, YorkTest's 2-marker test at £55 or MyHealthChecked's 3-marker test at £57 both test more for less. Because Bluecrest itself notes that FSH should be interpreted alongside your symptoms, discuss any result, and your symptoms, with your GP rather than relying on this test in isolation.
This is a blood test collected by venous draw at a local Bluecrest venue. Once processed, results are typically returned in around 3 to 8 days. There is no doctor review included as standard, so you interpret the FSH result yourself, alongside your symptoms, as Bluecrest itself advises.
This £65 test measures a single marker, FSH, and is priced 34% below the £99 comparison-group median. However, it's also the shallowest of eight menopause and perimenopause tests we track: YorkTest tests two markers for £55 and MyHealthChecked tests three for £57, both cheaper and broader than Bluecrest's single-marker version.

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.
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.
Broadest perimenopause and menopause panel in its group
