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.
4 biomarkers as listed by MyHealthChecked.
This test measures four hormones associated with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinising hormone (LH), sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) and testosterone. PCOS symptoms can include irregular or absent periods, unwanted hair growth and weight gain, and the provider notes the test should be taken in the morning, on day three of your cycle if you are still having periods.
Among the comparable PCOS tests we track, prices run from £76 to £219, with a median of 17 markers across the group. This £79 test tests only four markers, and Medichecks' equivalent test costs less, at £76, while testing five.
The value for money score is strong given this sits well below the £135 group median, but clinical depth scores low because the group typically tests far more markers, with a median of 17. Results and follow-up scores well because a GP reviews the results and provides recommendations.
This suits women who suspect they may have PCOS and want an initial, GP-reviewed hormone check before seeing a doctor, without paying for a much larger panel. Medichecks' Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Blood Test costs less, at £76, and tests one more marker; if you want a considerably deeper panel, Thriva's PCOS blood test covers 18 markers for £135. This test cannot diagnose PCOS on its own.
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 £79, this test measures four hormones (FSH, LH, SHBG and testosterone) associated with PCOS, with GP-reviewed results and recommendations. It costs 41% less than the £135 median of the four comparable PCOS tests we track, though Medichecks' equivalent test is cheaper still at £76 and tests five markers rather than four.
