About this test

This panel measures hormones involved in ovulation and fertility, including AMH (an indicator of ovarian reserve), FSH and LH (which drive egg development and ovulation), oestradiol, prolactin, testosterone and thyroid hormones. These are commonly used to assess possible causes of irregular cycles or difficulty conceiving, alongside proteins such as SHBG and albumin that affect how much hormone is available for the body to use.

Within the female hormone panel comparison group, this is the most detailed option: 12 markers against a median of 8 across the 15 tests we compare it with. That depth comes at a considerable price. At £185.00 it sits 89% above the group median of £98, well beyond peers such as Medichecks' Female Hormone Blood Test at £79 or Numan's equivalent at £98.

It scores well for collection convenience, since you can test at home or add a nurse visit with results in around two days, and for trust signals, reflecting Thriva's Trustpilot rating, lab accreditation, CQC registration and doctor review as standard. Price is by far its weakest area, given how far above the group median it sits.

Who is it for?

This suits you if you want a broad hormone picture in one test, for example if you have irregular cycles, are trying to conceive, or want your ovarian reserve, cycle hormones and thyroid function checked together rather than ordering separate tests.

If budget matters more than breadth, Medichecks' Female Hormone Blood Test covers 9 markers for £79, and Numan's Female Hormone Blood Test covers 8 markers for £98, both well below this test's £185.00. Choose Thriva's version if the extra markers here are worth the higher price to you.

How it works

This is a blood test. You can collect your own sample at home with a finger-prick kit, or pay an extra £60 for a nurse to take a venous sample. Once your sample reaches the lab, results are typically ready within 2 days, and a doctor reviews them before they are sent to you as part of your report.
