Measures oestradiol, the main form of oestrogen, relevant to fertility, menstrual cycle changes, hormone therapy monitoring and symptoms such as hot flushes or low libido. A single-marker test suited to targeted hormone checks.
1 biomarker as listed by Medichecks.
Oestradiol (E2) is the main form of oestrogen, relevant to fertility, menstrual cycle changes, hormone therapy monitoring and symptoms such as hot flushes, mood changes or low libido. This test measures a single biomarker, so its role is to check that one hormone clearly rather than build a wider picture.
Depth is not really the point of a single-marker comparison group like this one; what matters more is price and convenience. At £49 it undercuts three of the four comparable oestradiol tests we track, including Better2Know's two options at £175 and £195, and sits below the £64.25 group median, just above Forth's £40 test, currently the cheapest we track.
Collection is flexible, with at-home finger-prick, clinic and home nurse visit options and results typically back within 2 days, though Medichecks recommends a venous draw specifically to avoid contamination from testosterone gels, creams or contact with treated surfaces. Trust signals are strong throughout, reflecting Medichecks' Trustpilot record, UKAS ISO 15189 partner labs and doctor review included with every result.
This suits you if you want a straightforward, reasonably priced oestradiol check, for example to monitor hormone therapy, investigate cycle irregularities, or look into symptoms like hot flushes or low libido. At £49 it beats most of the alternatives we track on price while still including doctor review.
If price is your only priority, Forth's version at £40 is slightly cheaper. If you use topical testosterone products, take the provider's advice seriously and choose a venous draw rather than the finger-prick option to avoid a contaminated result. If symptoms such as hot flushes or mood changes are affecting your daily life, see a GP too.
You can collect the sample yourself at home with a finger-prick kit, or choose a venous draw at a Medichecks clinic or a home nurse visit; Medichecks specifically recommends the venous route to avoid contamination from testosterone gels, creams or contact with treated surfaces. Once the sample reaches the lab it is analysed for oestradiol, with results typically ready within 2 days and reviewed by a doctor before you receive them.
This single-marker oestradiol test costs £49, cheaper than three of the four comparable oestradiol tests we track and only just above Forth's £40 test. It can be collected at home with results back within 2 days, though Medichecks recommends a venous draw to avoid contamination from topical hormone products.

Cheapest oestradiol test we compare
A single-marker blood test measuring oestradiol, one of the three main oestrogen hormones, for tracking levels linked to your cycle, fertility or menopause.
Mid-priced oestradiol test against its comparison group
This blood test measures oestradiol (E2), a hormone commonly used to assess ovarian function in women and hormone levels linked to gynaecomastia in men. It suits anyone who needs a single, focused oestradiol reading rather than a wider hormone panel.
The most expensive way to test oestradiol here
Measures oestradiol (E2), the main oestrogen hormone, useful for checking ovarian function, fertility concerns or menopause symptoms. A nurse visits you to take the blood sample rather than a self-collected finger-prick.
Cheaper than the nurse kit, pricier than rivals
Checks oestradiol (E2), the main oestrogen hormone, relevant to fertility, menopause and general hormone health. Sample is taken by venous draw at a clinic or during a nurse visit.
