A blood test covering 19 biomarkers across hormones, cholesterol, thyroid function and blood proteins, for women investigating symptoms of PCOS or managing an existing diagnosis.
19 biomarkers as listed by Medichecks.
This test looks at reproductive hormones including testosterone, FSH, LH, oestradiol, prolactin and anti-Mullerian hormone, alongside cholesterol status, blood sugar control via HbA1c, thyroid function and proteins including SHBG. Together these markers help build a picture of the hormonal and metabolic changes linked to PCOS, including the raised cardiovascular and diabetes risk that often comes with it.
Within its comparison group of five PCOS tests, this is the largest by marker count, with 19 against a group median of 17. It's also the most expensive of the five, at £219 against a median of £135; Medichecks' own basic Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Blood Test covers 5 markers for £76, MyHealthChecked's version covers 4 for £79, Thriva's covers 18 for £135, and Forth's covers 17 for £165.
The clinical depth score is at the maximum for the marker count. Value for money scores poorly because of the price premium over the group median. Trust signals score highly, reflecting the provider's Trustpilot rating, UKAS ISO 15189 partner labs and included doctor review. Results and follow-up scores well because a doctor reviews every result, and collection convenience is middling since it needs a clinic visit or a booked nurse visit rather than a home kit.
This suits women investigating symptoms such as irregular periods, excess facial hair or oily skin, or those already diagnosed with PCOS who want a fuller check of hormones alongside cholesterol and diabetes risk. If budget matters more than the extra markers, Medichecks' own Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Blood Test covers the core hormones for £76, or Thriva's 18-marker PCOS test at £135 covers nearly as much for considerably less.
The sample is a venous blood draw, taken in-store at a clinic or via a home nurse visit; there's no at-home finger-prick option for this test. Once the sample reaches the lab, it's processed and the results are reviewed by a doctor, typically within 4 days.
At £219, this PCOS blood test covers 19 biomarkers spanning hormones, cholesterol and thyroid function, giving a fuller picture than Medichecks' own basic PCOS test. It costs more than all four peer tests we compare it with, including Thriva's 18-marker version at £135. The biggest catch is convenience: there's no at-home option, so you need a clinic visit or home nurse booking, with results in 4 days.

Near-deepest PCOS panel, cheaper than the other deep options
An 18-marker blood test covering testosterone, thyroid, blood sugar and cholesterol, for checking hormone and metabolic markers linked to PCOS.
Cheapest PCOS test we track, lighter than the Advanced kit
A 5-marker hormone panel used to help assess patterns linked to polycystic ovary syndrome, such as irregular periods or acne. Suits an affordable first check, done at home.
Priced above Thriva's deeper PCOS panel
A 17-marker panel measuring hormones commonly linked to PCOS, including AMH, testosterone, LH, FSH, oestradiol and prolactin.
Cheaper than most PCOS tests, but also the shallowest
Measures four hormones (FSH, LH, SHBG and testosterone) linked to Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), with GP-reviewed results. Suits women who suspect PCOS and want an initial indication before seeing a doctor.
