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.
5 biomarkers as listed by London Medical Laboratory.
This test measures follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinising hormone, oestradiol and testosterone, the hormones that shift as ovarian hormone production declines around menopause, plus thyroid-stimulating hormone, since thyroid problems can cause similar symptoms such as fatigue, mood changes and irregular periods. Testing all five together is intended to help distinguish menopause from other causes rather than assuming symptoms are hormonal by default.
At 5 markers, this matches the median depth across the 15 menopause tests we track, though some peers cover less, such as YorkTest's Menopause Test at 2 markers for £55, and others cover considerably more, such as Selph's Perimenopause and Menopause Blood Test at 12 markers for £99. At £79, this is below the group's £99 median, though Medichecks' own 5-marker Menopause Blood Test is cheaper still, at £69.
Clinical depth sits around the middle of the range, matching rather than beating the typical panel size. value for money scores well for coming in below the group median. Collection convenience is strong, with a finger-prick option and results back within a day, and trust signals and results and follow-up reflect the standard CQC registration and doctor-reviewed report.
This suits you if you are experiencing symptoms that could be menopause or perimenopause, such as hot flushes, irregular periods, mood changes or disturbed sleep, and want to check hormone levels alongside ruling out a thyroid cause.
Medichecks' Menopause Blood Test covers the same 5 markers for £69, £10 less than this test. If you want a more detailed panel, Selph's Perimenopause and Menopause Blood Test covers 12 markers for £99. Speak to a GP about menopause symptoms and treatment options such as HRT alongside any test results.
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.
This profile checks 5 hormones linked to menopause, including thyroid-stimulating hormone to help rule out thyroid problems that can mimic menopause symptoms. At £79 it costs less than the £99 median across the menopause tests we compare it with, though Medichecks' 5-marker Menopause Blood Test is cheaper still, at £69. Results are reviewed by a doctor and typically back within a day.

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.
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.
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
