About this test

This test measures follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) in urine, a hormone that commonly rises during perimenopause, the period leading up to menopause. Because hormone levels fluctuate, a single reading is only part of the picture, and the provider suggests testing more than once, a few weeks apart, over several months.

Among the FSH tests we track, it is by far the cheapest: the next cheapest, from Medichecks, costs £52, more than four times the price, and Better2Know's home test kit costs £69.95. At £11.99 it sits 80% below the £60.25 group median.

It scores well for value for money and for collection convenience, since it is read at home in minutes without posting anything to a lab. It scores lower for results and follow-up because, like the rest of the range, it is not doctor-reviewed as standard, and the provider recommends seeing a doctor if you get a positive result or have menopause symptoms.

Who is it for?

This suits you if you want a low-cost, private first check of FSH levels alongside symptoms such as missed periods or hot flushes, before deciding whether to seek medical advice. If you would prefer a single blood test with a lab-processed result instead of a repeatable urine self-test, Medichecks offers an FSH blood test for £52.

How it works

You take a urine sample at home and read the test yourself, with the provider stating a result within minutes and no need to post anything to a lab. Results are not doctor-reviewed as standard; the provider recommends testing more than once over time and speaking to a doctor about a positive result or ongoing symptoms.

Pros & cons

Pros

  • Cheapest FSH test in the comparison group at £11.99
  • Result within minutes with no lab post-back needed
  • Urine sample, no blood draw required

Cons

  • Not doctor-reviewed, so a positive result needs a separate GP conversation
  • A single reading is not conclusive given natural hormone fluctuation
  • Checks one hormone only, not a broader menopause hormone panel

Our editorial score

Compare Health Test Score Cheapest FSH self-test in the comparison group
Editorial confidence: 10.0/10

This single-marker urine test checks FSH levels within minutes at home, and at £11.99 it is the cheapest FSH test we track, 80% below the £60.25 group median. It is not doctor-reviewed, and because hormone levels fluctuate, the provider suggests repeating the test over time rather than relying on a single result.
