About this test

The panel covers reproductive hormones (oestradiol, FSH, LH, progesterone), androgen markers (SHBG, FAI, total testosterone) and thyroid function (TSH, free T4). Oestradiol, FSH and LH are commonly used to assess where you are in the menopause transition, while TSH and free T4 are included because thyroid problems can produce symptoms similar to menopause, such as fatigue and low mood.

At £98, this sits near the top of the price range among the menopause and perimenopause tests we compare it with, but it also tests more markers than most: YorkTest, MyHealthChecked, Bluecrest Wellness and Medichecks all test between one and five markers for less. The exception is Selph's Perimenopause and Menopause Blood Test, which covers 12 markers for £99, slightly more depth for about the same price.

It scores well for clinical depth and for clarity, since the biomarker list, sample type, collection options and turnaround are all clearly stated. Trust signals score highly too. The main weak point is results and follow-up, because this test is not reviewed by a doctor as standard.

Who is it for?

This suits you if you are noticing possible menopause or perimenopause symptoms, such as hot flushes, mood changes or irregular cycles, and want a broader hormone and thyroid picture than the cheaper one- or two-marker screens offer.

If you want more markers for a similar price, Selph's Perimenopause and Menopause Blood Test covers 12 for £99. If cost matters more than depth, Medichecks' Menopause Blood Test tests five markers for £69.

How it works

You take a finger-prick sample at home, or add £10 for a Tasso+ upper-arm device, ideally in the morning before 11am. Results are typically ready within 3 to 5 days, and this test is not reviewed by a doctor as standard.

Pros & cons

Pros

  • Tests nine markers, adding thyroid function to the core reproductive hormones.
  • More markers than most other tests in this comparison group.
  • 3 to 5 day turnaround from an at-home finger-prick sample.
  • Clear published biomarker list, collection options and turnaround.

Cons

  • Not reviewed by a doctor as standard.
  • Selph tests 12 markers, three more, for close to the same price.
  • Among the pricier tests in this comparison group despite the extra depth.
