Female Hormone Blood Test

A disrupted endocrine system can affect your energy, mood, cycle, and fertility. Our Female Hormone Blood Test and expert report help identify any imbalances.

Make sense of your hormones

If you're dealing with skin issues, fatigue, or unexpected weight changes, your hormones might be playing a part. Our at-home Female Hormone Blood Test checks whether your levels are in the expected range for your age, helping you understand if a hormone imbalance could be behind how you're feeling - all from the comfort of your own home.

How a Female Hormone Blood Test can help

• Hormone imbalance: Your hormones play a huge role in how you feel day to day, from your energy, mood, and skin to your menstrual cycle and sleep.1 If you've noticed changes like irregular periods or consistent fatigue, a hormone imbalance could be behind it.
• Mental health: If you're experiencing mood swings, anxiety, low mood, or brain fog, a Female Hormone Blood Test can help identify whether shifting hormone levels are part of the picture.2
• Conception and fertility: While not a fertility test, the Female Hormone Blood Test gives key insights into your hormonal health. Hormones like oestrogen, progesterone, LH, and FSH influence ovulation and cycle regularity, so small imbalances can affect conception.3
• Unexplained weight changes: Hormones play a huge role in regulating metabolism, appetite, energy, and fat storage.1If you're experiencing unexplained weight gain, bloating, or water retention, a hormone test may help you understand if your hormones are affecting your symptoms.
• Understanding your period: Painful, heavy, missing, or unpredictable periods can often be a signal of something deeper, such as PCOS or other hormonal conditions.1A Female Hormone Blood Test can help you get clarity and a clearer path forward.

When should you take the test?

• Day 2-5 of your cycle if you have regular periods: For the most accurate results, take the test on Day 2 to Day 5 of your menstrual cycle, ideally on Day 3. Day 1 is the first day of bleeding.
• Close to Day 3 of your cycle if you have irregular periods: We recommend that you wait until your next cycle to test as close to Day 3 as possible. This timing offers the clearest picture of your hormone levels, providing the best health insights.
• Any day if you have no periods: You can take this test on any day, but it might be harder for our doctors to interpret your results. If you haven't had a period in over 12 months, check out our Menopause Blood Test.

What is a female hormone test?

Female hormones play a key role in regulating and managing your reproductive health. The key ones are Oestradiol, Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH), luteinising hormone (LH), and progesterone. Testosterone is also an important female hormone - it's often tested if PCOS or other hormonal conditions are suspected. These hormones fluctuate naturally throughout your monthly menstrual cycle and change with age.

A female hormone test is a blood test used to check levels of essential female hormones that can affect anything from your mood to your weight.

What does the Female Hormone Blood Test check for?

A Female Hormone Blood Test checks for key hormones that affect your menstrual cycle, fertility, mood, energy levels, and overall wellbeing. These typically include:

Oestrogen: to assess ovary function and hormonal balance

FSH and LH: to understand your cycle stage or signs of menopause

Progesterone: to confirm if ovulation has occurred

Testosterone and FAI: to check for high androgen levels, which can affect skin, hair, and menstrual regularity

SHBG: to see how much hormone is freely available in your body

Prolactin: to identify issues that might affect your periods or fertility
