About this test

This test covers 12 biomarkers across ovarian hormones (FSH, LH, oestradiol, prolactin, testosterone and free androgen index), thyroid function (TSH, free T3 and free thyroxine), thyroid antibodies, and SHBG. Medichecks positions it for people experiencing symptoms such as irregular periods, weight changes, mood changes, or signs associated with menopause, where these hormone levels can offer useful context alongside how you are feeling.

Against the 15 tests in its comparison group, this test's 12 markers are well ahead of the group median of 8, and more than any of its eight listed peers, including Forth's 11-marker Female Hormone Imbalance Home Test Kit. That depth is reflected in the price: at £99 it is the most expensive test in its comparison group, just ahead of Numan's 8-marker Female Hormone Blood Test at £98, and well above Randox's two 8-marker tests at £46 and £48.

Collection is flexible: you can use an at-home finger-prick kit, or opt for a clinic visit, home nurse visit or venous draw, with results typically back within 2 days, among the fastest turnarounds in the range. Every result is reviewed by a doctor, and Medichecks holds a 4.5 Trustpilot score from 2,477 reviews, UKAS ISO 15189 partner labs, and more than 25 years trading.

Who is it for?

This suits anyone experiencing symptoms such as irregular periods, mood changes, weight changes or possible menopause symptoms who wants a broad hormone check with the option to do it at home. Its combination of depth (12 markers) and fast turnaround (2 days) makes it a thorough option within its comparison group. If symptoms are severe or ongoing, it is also worth discussing them with a GP.

If price matters more than breadth, Randox's Female Hormone tests cover 8 markers for £46 to £48, and Medichecks' own Female Hormone Blood Test covers 9 markers for £79, both considerably cheaper than this £99 test. If you specifically need fertility-focused markers rather than a general hormone check, Medichecks' Day 3 Fertility Blood Test is a narrower, cheaper option at £55.

How it works

You can collect your own sample at home with a finger-prick kit, or choose a clinic visit, home nurse visit or venous draw instead. The lab analyses the sample for ovarian hormones, thyroid function and thyroid antibodies, and androgen markers, and a doctor reviews the results before you receive them, typically within 2 days.
