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.
14 biomarkers as listed by Thriva.
This test measures 14 biomarkers across four areas: cholesterol and apolipoproteins (a marker set linked to heart disease risk), a thyroid profile (TSH and free thyroxine), HbA1c for blood sugar control, and vitamin D. These are all relevant during perimenopause and menopause, when falling oestrogen is linked to weaker bones, and when an underactive or overactive thyroid can produce symptoms similar to menopause itself, such as fatigue and brain fog.
Within its comparison group of 15 menopause and perimenopause tests, this is the most detailed option: 14 markers against a group median of 5. Most peers focus narrowly on one or two hormones, so this panel gives a broader read on cardiovascular, thyroid and metabolic health alongside menopause-specific markers.
The scores reflect that trade-off. It scores well for clinical depth because of its biomarker count, and for collection convenience because it offers an at-home finger-prick option with a nurse visit alternative and results in 2 days. It scores less well on value for money, sitting well above the £99 group median at £131.
This suits someone in perimenopause or menopause who wants a wider check on cardiovascular, thyroid, blood sugar and vitamin D status alongside their symptoms, rather than a narrow hormone snapshot. If you want fewer markers for less, Selph's Perimenopause and Menopause Blood Test covers 12 markers for £99, and Medichecks' Menopause Blood Test covers 5 for £69.
You can take this test at home with a finger-prick sample, or pay £60 extra for a nurse-taken venous blood draw. The sample is sent to the lab for analysis, and results are reviewed by a doctor before being returned to you, typically within 2 days.
At £131, this is the most detailed of the menopause tests we compare, covering 14 markers against a group median of 5. That depth comes at a cost: it sits well above the £99 group median, and Selph's 12-marker panel at £99 covers similar ground for less.

This test belongs to our Menopause and perimenopause test comparison group. See how it stacks up against equivalent tests from other providers.
Broadest perimenopause and menopause panel in its group
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.
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.
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.
Broadest perimenopause and menopause panel in its group
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.
