Take a simple blood test to check your hormone levels and better understand what's happening in your body.
Track key hormone levels
Our Menopause Blood Test can help you identify whether your hormone levels are out of sync, and a clinician's overview of your results may be able to explain if these changes are causing your symptoms. Whether you're experiencing symptoms for the first time, monitoring hormone replacement therapy (HRT), or want clarity before consulting a professional, this test is a great starting point.
*This may not apply if you don't have periods due to contraception or a medical condition.
How a Menopause Blood Test can help
- Hormonal imbalances: Track changes in key reproductive hormones like oestradiol, FSH, LH, and progesterone to understand whether you're approaching, in, or past menopause, and how your hormone balance may be contributing to symptoms like hot flushes, mood changes, or irregular cycles.
- Vitamin D levels: Vitamin D is crucial for bone strength, immune support, and mood regulation, especially important during and after menopause, when the risk of osteoporosis increases. This test helps you identify if you're getting enough.
- Thyroid function: Thyroid disorders can mimic or mask menopause symptoms. By measuring TSH and Free T4, this test helps identify if fatigue, brain fog, or weight changes are linked to an underlying thyroid issue.
How to take your Menopause Blood Test
- When is the best time to test?: Blood tests are best taken in the morning, ideally before 11am which is when your hormone levels are most concentrated.
- Do I need to fast?: You will not be required to fast for the menopause blood test. Fasting may be required if you are carrying out any additional blood tests.
- How can I prepare for my blood test?: To help boost blood flow, you can take a hot shower beforehand, stand or sit with your arm straight and hand below waist level, and clench your fist. Then, gently milk your finger to collect the sample.
What is a menopause test?
A menopause test is a simple-to-use finger-prick blood test which can measure up to 9 markers related to menopause.
What is an FSH blood test?
An FSH blood test measures the level of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) in your blood. FSH is produced by your pituitary gland and plays a role in regulating the menstrual cycle and ovulation in women.
FSH levels can help show how well your ovaries are working. As you get to menopause, your ovaries produce fewer hormones, and your FSH levels rise in response. A high FSH level can be a sign that you're in perimenopause or have reached menopause.
