A perimenopause test that maps four reproductive hormones across your cycle using two timed finger-prick samples on day 14 and day 21.
4 biomarkers as listed by Forth.
This test is built around how hormones change across your cycle rather than a single snapshot: you take two finger-prick samples, one on day 14 and one on day 21 of the same cycle, and the lab measures oestradiol, luteinising hormone, progesterone and follicle stimulating hormone at each point. The provider also generates a FORM Score, described as a supplementary indicator of ovarian function, alongside personalised hormone graphs.
Against the eight menopause and perimenopause tests we track, this sits close to the group median on marker count (4 against a median of 5) but is the most expensive by some margin, at £139 versus a group median of £99. Medichecks' Menopause Blood Test (£69, 5 markers) and Blue Horizon's Menopause Matters (£70.25, 5 markers) cover a similar number of markers from a single sample for around half the price, though neither maps hormones across two points in the cycle the way this test does.
value for money is the weakest part of the score here, 40% above the group median. Collection convenience also scores lower than other Forth tests, because only a finger-prick kit is offered, with no nurse visit or clinic option, and the provider does not state a turnaround time. Clarity is solid, with the full biomarker list published, and results are reviewed by a doctor.
This suits you if you specifically want cycle-mapped hormone tracking across two time points rather than a single reading, for example if you are investigating perimenopause symptoms tied to your cycle. If you want a simpler, cheaper single-sample hormone check, Medichecks' Menopause Blood Test (£69, 5 markers) or Blue Horizon's Menopause Matters (£70.25, 5 markers) cost around half as much.
You collect two finger-prick samples yourself, one on day 14 and one on day 21 of the same menstrual cycle, and post them to Forth's lab. The lab measures oestradiol, LH, progesterone and FSH at each timepoint and produces personalised hormone graphs and a FORM Score alongside a doctor-reviewed report. The provider does not state a turnaround time.
This test measures oestradiol, LH, progesterone and FSH using two timed samples taken 7 days apart, rather than a single blood draw. At £139 it is the most expensive of the eight menopause and perimenopause tests we compare, some 40% above the £99 median. It includes a doctor review, though the provider does not state a turnaround time.
The listing publishes a short description, the full biomarker list, clear collection options, the sample type; it does not state a turnaround time, what the report looks like.

This test belongs to our Menopause and perimenopause test comparison group. See how it stacks up against equivalent tests from other providers.
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.
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.
Broadest perimenopause and menopause panel in its group
