About this test

This test measures 8 hormones, including oestradiol, progesterone, testosterone and prolactin, which are commonly used to help understand cycle-related symptoms, fertility and general hormonal balance. The provider notes the contraceptive pill can affect results, and suggests waiting until your cycle has returned to normal after stopping it before testing.

With 8 biomarkers, it matches the median clinical depth for the 15 tests in its female hormone comparison group. Its price of £48 is well below that group's £98 median, undercutting Medichecks' Female Hormone Blood Test at £79, Numan's equivalent at £98, and Medichecks' Advanced Female Hormone Blood Test at £99, giving it a strong value-for-money score.

Its main weakness is results and follow-up, since results are not doctor-reviewed as standard. Collection convenience is around the middle, reflecting the venous draw balanced against a fast 24-hour turnaround, with same-day express results available at one clinic location.

Who is it for?

This suits anyone wanting a broad hormone panel at a clinic, whether managing symptoms like irregular periods or low energy, planning a pregnancy, or starting hormone therapy. If you would rather collect a sample at home, Randox's own Female Hormone QuickDraw measures the same 8 markers for £46. If you want to avoid the pill's effect on results, follow the provider's guidance on timing your test after stopping contraception.

How it works

A blood sample is taken by venous draw at a Randox clinic. Results are available within 24 hours of the sample reaching the lab, with same-day express results available up to 11:59pm at the Great Portland Street clinic. The provider does not state that a doctor reviews the results as standard.
