About this test

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.

Who is it for?

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.

How it works

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.
