About this test

This test measures 10 biomarkers: oestradiol, free and total testosterone, free androgen index, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinising hormone (LH), a thyroid profile (TSH and free thyroxine), SHBG and albumin. Together these cover ovulation, cycle regulation and thyroid function, relevant to symptoms like irregular periods, mood changes, low sex drive or possible perimenopause.

Within its comparison group of 15 female hormone tests, this sits close to the top for depth, 10 markers against a median of 8, second only to Forth's 11-marker Female Hormone Imbalance Home Test Kit. That Forth test also costs less, £89 against this one's £99, making it both cheaper and deeper on the numbers in this data. This test's price of £99 is otherwise close to the group median of £98.

It scores highly for clinical depth given its marker count, and for collection convenience with an at-home finger-prick option and results in 2 days. Its value for money score is more middling, since although the price sits near the group median, a deeper and cheaper alternative exists in the same group.

Who is it for?

This suits someone wanting a broad reproductive and thyroid hormone check for cycle irregularities, fertility concerns or possible perimenopause. Based on the data here, Forth's Female Hormone Imbalance Home Test Kit is worth comparing directly, since it covers 11 markers for £89, more depth for less money than this test.

How it works

You 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.
