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.
12 biomarkers as listed by Selph.
The Perimenopause and Menopause Blood Test measures 12 markers across four areas: thyroid function (TSH, free T3 and free T4), cholesterol status (HDL, LDL, non-HDL and total cholesterol, triglycerides and the cholesterol-to-HDL ratio), blood sugar control via HbA1c, and vitamin D. These reflect risk factors that can shift as oestrogen levels fall, such as changes to cholesterol, blood sugar handling and thyroid function, rather than measuring reproductive hormones directly; the panel does not include FSH or oestradiol.
Among the 15 tests in Selph's menopause and perimenopause comparison group, this is the deepest, with 12 markers against a median of 5; the next closest by marker count is Numan's Menopause Blood Test with 9 markers for £98. On price, £99 sits exactly at the group median, so the extra markers come at no premium over the typical price in this group, though cheaper options exist, such as YorkTest's Menopause Test at £55 for 2 markers.
The high clinical depth score reflects that marker count advantage, while collection convenience and trust signals both score well thanks to multiple collection routes, a doctor-reviewed report and results within two days. The value for money score is middling because, despite the extra markers, the price itself is no cheaper than the group's typical price.
This suits women who want a wide check on the metabolic and thyroid changes associated with perimenopause and menopause, rather than just a hormone snapshot. It's a reasonable choice if you want more markers for the same price as the group's typical test. If you specifically want to measure reproductive hormones such as FSH, or want to spend less, YorkTest's Menopause Test covers 2 markers for £55.
You collect a finger-prick blood sample at home using the included kit, or choose Tasso EasyDraw, a clinic visit, a home nurse visit or your own venous draw at extra cost. Once your sample reaches Selph's lab, results are typically ready in one to two days and are reviewed by a Selph doctor before you receive your report.
At £99, this is Selph's most wide-ranging menopause test, checking 12 markers against a group median of 5, though it costs the same as the group's typical price. It covers thyroid function, cholesterol, blood sugar and vitamin D rather than reproductive hormones such as FSH or oestradiol. Results are reviewed by a doctor within one to two days.

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.
Priced well under its group median, modest on markers
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.
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.
