About this test

This test measures follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinising hormone, oestradiol, testosterone and prolactin, the hormones most commonly used to assess fertility, irregular periods and hormonal imbalance, and to monitor hormone replacement therapy. Together they give a picture of ovarian function and where in a cycle or life stage those hormones sit.

At 5 markers, this is on the smaller side of the female hormone panels we track, where the median is 8 across 15 tests. Medichecks' Female Hormone Blood Test tests 9 markers for £79, less than this test's £89, while Medichecks' Advanced Female Hormone Blood Test covers 12 markers for £99. Against the group median of £98, this test's £89 price is still below average.

value for money scores reasonably given the below-median price, though clinical depth is held back by testing fewer markers than several peers of similar or lower cost. Collection convenience is strong, with a finger-prick option and results back within a day. Trust signals and results and follow-up reflect the standard CQC registration and doctor-reviewed report.

Who is it for?

This suits you if you want a straightforward check of the core reproductive hormones, for example to investigate irregular periods, possible fertility issues, or to monitor hormone treatment.

If you want more markers for a similar or lower price, Medichecks' Female Hormone Blood Test covers 9 markers for £79, £10 less than this test, or its Advanced Female Hormone Blood Test covers 12 markers for £99. Speak to a GP about timing hormone tests to your cycle, since results can depend heavily on when in the month the sample is taken.

How it works

Provide a sample via at-home finger-prick kit (plus £3.99 postage), venous draw at a partner clinic (plus £35), or a home visit from a phlebotomist. The lab measures the 5 hormones, and a doctor reviews the results before you receive your report, typically within a day.
