An 18-marker blood test covering testosterone, thyroid, blood sugar and cholesterol, for checking hormone and metabolic markers linked to PCOS.
18 biomarkers as listed by Thriva.
This test measures 18 biomarkers relevant to PCOS: testosterone and free androgen index (markers of excess androgen, a hallmark of PCOS), follicle-stimulating and luteinising hormone (used to look at the LH:FSH ratio), a thyroid profile, HbA1c for blood sugar control given the link between PCOS and insulin resistance, a cholesterol profile, and vitamin D.
Within its comparison group of 5 PCOS tests, this sits close to the top for depth, 18 markers against a median of 17, just one short of Medichecks' 19-marker Advanced PCOS test. On price it sits exactly at the £135 group median: cheaper than Forth's 17-marker test at £165 and Medichecks' Advanced test at £219, though pricier than Medichecks' basic 5-marker test at £76 and MyHealthChecked's 4-marker test at £79.
It scores highly for clinical depth given that marker count, and for collection convenience with an at-home finger-prick option and results in 2 days. Its value for money score sits in the middle, reflecting a price right at the group median rather than a clear bargain.
This suits someone who wants a broad hormone, thyroid and metabolic check for PCOS without paying for the very deepest panel. If you want the most markers available, Medichecks' Advanced PCOS test covers 19 for £219; if budget is the priority and you need fewer markers, Medichecks' basic PCOS test covers 5 for £76.
You can take this test at home with a finger-prick sample, or add a nurse-taken venous draw for £60. The lab analyses your sample and a doctor reviews the results before you see them, typically within 2 days.
At £135, this sits exactly at the median price for the PCOS tests we compare, and its 18 markers are close to the deepest in the group. Medichecks' Advanced PCOS test covers 19 markers but costs £219, while Forth's 17-marker test is £165, so this offers similar depth for less than either.

Cheapest PCOS test we track, lighter than the Advanced kit
A 5-marker hormone panel used to help assess patterns linked to polycystic ovary syndrome, such as irregular periods or acne. Suits an affordable first check, done at home.
Deep PCOS panel, but pricier than most peers
A blood test covering 19 biomarkers across hormones, cholesterol, thyroid function and blood proteins, for women investigating symptoms of PCOS or managing an existing diagnosis.
Priced above Thriva's deeper PCOS panel
A 17-marker panel measuring hormones commonly linked to PCOS, including AMH, testosterone, LH, FSH, oestradiol and prolactin.
Cheaper than most PCOS tests, but also the shallowest
Measures four hormones (FSH, LH, SHBG and testosterone) linked to Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), with GP-reviewed results. Suits women who suspect PCOS and want an initial indication before seeing a doctor.
