About this test

This test measures three hormones: FSH, oestradiol and progesterone. These markers are commonly used to build a picture of hormone levels in women taking hormone replacement therapy. The provider is clear that HRT dosing is usually adjusted according to your symptoms rather than blood test results alone, so this is best seen as background information rather than something that dictates treatment changes on its own.

At three biomarkers, this test sits in the middle of the pack for clinical depth compared with the women's hormone tests we track, in the 52nd percentile. On price, £89 is above the £69.95 median for the 19 similarly sized women's hormone tests in our data, which is reflected in a below-average value-for-money score. Collection is flexible, with home finger-prick, clinic, home nurse and venous draw options all available, and results come back within 2 days.

The overall score benefits most from collection convenience and trust signals, including Medichecks' Trustpilot rating and its doctor review included with every test. It loses some ground on value, since similarly sized women's hormone tests are available for less on average in our data, even though this specific test has no directly comparable named peer we track.

Who is it for?

This suits women already on HRT who want a baseline hormone reading, a way to track changes over time, or supporting information to discuss with their prescriber if symptoms persist despite treatment.

Because we do not track a directly equivalent test from another provider for this exact panel, we cannot say whether a specific cheaper like-for-like option exists; based on the wider category data, similarly sized women's hormone tests are available for less on average.

How it works

You can collect your sample at home with a finger-prick kit, at an in-store clinic, via a home nurse visit, or with a venous draw at a clinic. The lab measures FSH, oestradiol and progesterone from the sample, and a doctor reviews the results as standard. Turnaround is 2 days.

Pros & cons

Pros

  • Fast turnaround of 2 days from sample to reviewed result.
  • Four collection methods, including an at-home finger-prick option.

Cons

  • Priced 27% above the £69.95 median for similarly sized women's hormone tests we track.
  • No directly comparable competitor test in our data to check the price against.
  • Does not on its own indicate whether an HRT dose needs adjusting; that is based on your symptoms.
