About this test

This test measures three hormones, oestradiol, progesterone and prolactin, that are commonly monitored alongside testosterone, particularly if you are on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). Shifts in these markers are associated with symptoms such as low libido, fatigue, mood changes or changes in body composition, which is why they are often checked together rather than in isolation.

With three biomarkers this sits toward the lower end of men's hormones tests we track for clinical depth, reflecting its focus on this specific hormone trio rather than a wider panel. At £69 it costs a little more than the £64 median for similarly sized tests in that category, a modest gap rather than a large one.

Collection is a strong point: you can do it at home with a finger-prick kit, or choose a venous draw at a clinic or a home nurse visit, with results typically back within 2 days. Trust signals are strong throughout, reflecting Medichecks' Trustpilot record, UKAS ISO 15189 partner labs and doctor review included with every result.

Who is it for?

This suits you if you are on testosterone replacement therapy and want to keep an eye on oestradiol, progesterone and prolactin alongside your testosterone monitoring, or if you have symptoms like low libido, fatigue or mood changes and want these three hormones checked together. The at-home finger-prick option and 2-day turnaround make it easy to repeat periodically.

It suits you less well if you want a broader men's hormone panel that also includes testosterone itself, since this test does not cover that marker. We do not have a directly comparable three-hormone test from another provider on file to weigh it against. If symptoms are significantly affecting you, it is worth raising them with a GP or the clinician managing your TRT.

How it works

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. Once it reaches the lab, it is analysed for oestradiol, progesterone and prolactin, with results typically ready within 2 days. Every result is reviewed by a doctor before you receive it.

Pros & cons

Pros

  • Checks three hormones relevant to TRT monitoring in a single test.
  • Checks prolactin alongside oestradiol and progesterone, a less common combination in men's hormone panels.
  • At-home finger-prick collection available, with results in around 2 days.
  • Doctor review included, same as Medichecks' other tests.

Cons

  • £69 is slightly above the £64 median for similar men's hormones tests we track.
  • Does not include testosterone itself, so you may need a separate test alongside it.
  • Only 3 biomarkers, so it will not catch broader hormonal issues outside this trio.
