About this test

This panel checks oestradiol (the main oestrogen), luteinising hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), both involved in fertility and ovulation, testosterone-related markers (including free testosterone, SHBG and free androgen index), prolactin, and thyroid function (free T4 and TSH). These are commonly used to investigate symptoms such as irregular periods, low mood or reduced sex drive; the provider is explicit that the test is not intended to diagnose menopause.

Against the 15 tests we track in the female hormone panel group, its 10 biomarkers sit above the group median of 8, and at £99.99 it is priced only 2% above the £98 group median. Forth's Female Hormone Imbalance Home Test Kit covers more markers, 11, for less, £89, making it both deeper and cheaper than this test, while Randox Health's Female Hormone tests are considerably cheaper, from £46 to £48, but cover fewer markers, 8.

Clinical depth is the strongest driver of the score here, given the above-median biomarker count, alongside results and follow-up, since results are reviewed by a doctor. The service's CQC registration and Trustpilot score of 4.3 also support the trust signals element of the score. value for money is the weakest area, since the test is priced slightly above the group median rather than below it.

Who is it for?

This suits women wanting a broad hormone panel, including fertility-related hormones, testosterone and thyroid function, reviewed by a doctor, to help investigate symptoms such as irregular periods or low mood.

If price or depth matters most, Forth's Female Hormone Imbalance Home Test Kit covers more markers (11) for less (£89), and Randox Health's Female Hormone tests cost considerably less (from £46) if you are happy with fewer markers (8).
