This at-home finger-prick test measures nine hormones, including oestradiol, testosterone, FSH and LH, plus thyroid markers, to check whether hormone levels look linked to symptoms like acne, weight changes or fatigue. It suits women wanting a broad first look at hormone balance.
9 biomarkers as listed by Medichecks.
This test measures nine markers: free androgen index, FSH, LH, oestradiol, prolactin and testosterone, plus SHBG and two thyroid markers, free thyroxine and TSH. These hormones are commonly used to assess whether symptoms such as acne, unexpected weight changes, fatigue or fertility concerns could be linked to a hormone imbalance or a thyroid problem, rather than to look at any single hormone in isolation.
Medichecks places this in a comparison group of 15 similarly focused female hormone panels, where the median is 8 markers, so its 9 markers sit slightly above the middle for this type of test. Among the named peers, it beats the two Randox Health tests (£46 and £48, 8 markers each) and Medichecks' own £55 Day 3 Fertility Blood Test on depth, and undercuts the pricier £87.25 Blue Horizon Medicals Female Fertility test, the £89 London Medical Laboratory Fertility Hormones Profile, the £89 Forth Female Hormone Imbalance Home Test Kit, the £98 Numan Female Hormone Blood Test and Medichecks' own £99 Advanced Female Hormone Blood Test, though the Forth kit (11 markers) and the Advanced Medichecks test (12 markers) do go slightly deeper.
This mix of above-median depth, a below-median comparison-group price and an at-home collection option drives strong scores across the board. Collection convenience scores at the top of the scale because it can be done with a finger-prick at home as well as at a clinic or by nurse visit, with results in around 2 days. It also scores well for value for money and clinical depth given the group median, and for results and follow-up, since a doctor reviews every result.
This suits you if you have symptoms that could be hormone-related, such as acne, unexpected weight changes or fatigue, or you want to check whether your cycle changes might be linked to a hormone or thyroid imbalance, and you would rather test at home than book a clinic appointment. Against its comparison group it offers more markers than most of the cheaper options, such as the two Randox Health tests, while costing less than the Blue Horizon Medicals, London Medical Laboratory, Forth, Numan and Medichecks Advanced alternatives; if you specifically want the deepest panel available, the £99 Medichecks Advanced Female Hormone Blood Test (12 markers) or the £89 Forth kit (11 markers) go slightly further.
You can collect your sample yourself with an at-home finger-prick kit, or have it taken by venous draw at an in-store clinic or through a home nurse visit. Results are typically ready within 2 days, and every result is reviewed by a doctor before you receive it.
An at-home finger-prick sample is all this nine-marker hormone and thyroid panel needs, unlike several rivals that require a clinic visit. At £79 it undercuts the £87 to £99 tests from Blue Horizon Medicals, London Medical Laboratory, Forth, Numan and Medichecks' own Advanced version, while covering more markers than the £46-£55 Randox and Medichecks Day 3 options. Results are typically ready within 2 days.
