Measures three key hormones (oestradiol, progesterone and FSH) to help indicate whether you are entering or in perimenopause or menopause. Suits women noticing menstrual cycle changes or menopause-type symptoms who want an initial hormone check.
3 biomarkers as listed by MyHealthChecked.
This test measures three hormones associated with the menstrual cycle and the menopause transition: follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), oestradiol and progesterone. The provider notes results are not advisable if you are on contraceptive pills or hormone therapy without a three-month gap, and recommends taking the sample in the morning, on day three of your cycle if you are still having periods.
Among the eight comparable menopause tests we track, priced from £55 to £119 with a median of five markers, this £57 test tests fewer markers than most, though YorkTest's cheaper £55 test tests only two. Peers testing considerably more hormones, such as Selph's 12-marker test, cost upwards of £99.
The value for money score is strong, reflecting a price 42% below the group median, but clinical depth is more modest given the group typically tests more hormones. Results and follow-up scores well because a GP reviews the results and provides recommendations.
This suits women noticing changes to their menstrual cycle or menopause-type symptoms who want an initial, GP-reviewed hormone check without paying for a wider panel. If you want more hormones covered, Medichecks' Menopause Blood Test tests five for £69, or Selph's Perimenopause and Menopause Blood Test tests 12 for £99. It is not advisable if you are taking contraceptives or hormone therapy, unless you have stopped for at least three months.
You take a finger-prick blood sample at home, timed for the morning and, if you are still having periods, day three of your cycle, then post it to MyHealthChecked's UK laboratory. Results are ready in 2 to 3 working days, and a GP reviews them and provides recommendations.
For £57, this test measures three hormones (oestradiol, progesterone and FSH) linked to the menstrual cycle and menopause transition, with GP-reviewed results and recommendations. It costs 42% less than the £99 median of the eight comparable menopause tests we track, though YorkTest's two-marker test is cheaper still at £55, and some peers test considerably more hormones.

Broadest perimenopause and menopause panel in its group
Checks thyroid function, cholesterol, blood sugar and vitamin D, markers linked to health risks around perimenopause and menopause. Suited to women wanting a wider risk check, though it doesn't test reproductive hormones such as FSH or oestradiol.
Cheapest 5-marker menopause panel in this group
Checks five hormone markers, including FSH, LH and oestradiol alongside thyroid hormones, to help assess menopause or perimenopause. Suited to women with symptoms like hot flushes, irregular periods or mood changes.
Same 5-hormone depth as top rivals, cheaper than most of them
Checks FSH, LH, oestradiol, progesterone and testosterone, the main hormones used to help assess menopause and perimenopause symptoms.
Deepest panel among the shown peers, priciest too
Checks 14 markers covering cholesterol, thyroid, blood sugar and vitamin D, aimed at women wanting a wider picture of heart, bone and metabolic health around menopause.
5-hormone menopause panel priced below the group median
A blood test measuring FSH, LH, oestradiol, testosterone and thyroid-stimulating hormone, used together to help assess whether symptoms are linked to menopause or a thyroid problem instead. Suits women investigating perimenopause or menopause symptoms.
More markers than most menopause tests, no doctor review
This blood test measures nine hormones and thyroid markers linked to the menopause transition, including oestradiol, FSH and LH. It suits women approaching or in menopause who want a broader hormone and thyroid check than a basic screen.
Cheapest named menopause test here, but fewest markers
An at-home finger-prick test measuring FSH and LH, two hormones commonly used to assess menopause and perimenopause status. Suited to women approaching menopausal age.
Cheaper nurse-kit version of Better2Know's menopause panel
The same five-marker hormone panel as Better2Know's clinic Menopause Screen (LH, FSH, oestradiol, TSH, FT4), collected via a nurse-administered venous draw that you send to the lab by post, rather than attending a clinic.
Same marker count as Selph, but £69 more
This blood test measures 12 hormone, thyroid and fertility-related markers, including AMH, linked to perimenopause symptoms. It suits women wanting a detailed hormone picture alongside symptoms like hot flushes or cycle changes.
Cheaper than most peers, but tests only one marker
A single FSH blood test used alongside your symptoms to help indicate whether you are approaching or experiencing menopause.
Standard depth, priced above comparable menopause tests
A five-marker hormone panel covering LH, FSH, oestradiol and thyroid function (TSH, FT4), used to help assess menopausal or perimenopausal status in women experiencing symptoms such as hot flushes or irregular periods.
Priciest menopause panel in its group, but doctor-reviewed
A 5-marker blood test covering FSH, oestradiol, testosterone, SHBG and TSH, used to assess hormonal changes around perimenopause and menopause, with a GP consultation included. Suited to women exploring symptoms or planning HRT.
Maps hormones across your cycle, but priciest peer
A perimenopause test that maps four reproductive hormones across your cycle using two timed finger-prick samples on day 14 and day 21.
