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.
2 biomarkers as listed by YorkTest.
The Menopause Test measures FSH and LH, two hormones commonly used together as markers of menopause and perimenopause status. YorkTest positions it for women approaching menopausal age who are experiencing symptoms such as hot flushes, anxiety, night sweats or low energy, and it is not suitable for anyone taking hormonal contraception or hormone replacement therapy.
Within its menopause and perimenopause comparison group, its £55 price is the cheapest of the eight named peers we track, £2 below MyHealthChecked's Menopause Profile Blood Test at £57 and considerably below Better2Know's Menopause Screen Nurse Kit at £119. However, its two markers are fewer than the group median of five; peers such as Medichecks' Menopause Blood Test (5 markers, £69) or Selph's Perimenopause and Menopause Blood Test (12 markers, £99) test more hormones for a higher price.
It scores very well for Value for money given how far below the group median its price sits, and well for Trust signals, reflecting YorkTest's Trustpilot rating of 4.8 from 3,257 reviews, its UKAS-accredited lab, and 44 years of trading. Its Clinical depth score is lower than most other YorkTest tests because its two markers sit below the group median of five. It scores lower for Results and follow-up because results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard, though the listing does say it gives clear information on whether results indicate peri-menopause or menopause.
This suits women approaching menopausal age who want the cheapest option in our comparison group for a first check on FSH and LH, and who are not taking hormonal contraception or HRT. If you want more hormone markers and don't mind paying more, Medichecks' Menopause Blood Test covers 5 markers for £69, or Selph's Perimenopause and Menopause Blood Test covers 12 markers for £99. It is not the right choice if you want a doctor to review your results as standard, or if you are on hormonal contraception.
You take an at-home finger-prick blood sample and return it to YorkTest's laboratory. FSH and LH are analysed together, and results are provided with clear information on whether they suggest perimenopause or menopause, along with lifestyle advice, delivered within a stated 7 days. Results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard.
The Menopause Test measures FSH and LH for £55, the cheapest of eight named peers in its comparison group, undercutting MyHealthChecked's £57 test by £2. It tests fewer markers than most peers, though, with a group median of 5 against its 2. Results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard.

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.
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.
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.
