Test Overview
What is the Menopause Blood Test?
Our Menopause Blood Test measures key hormones to help determine whether you may be experiencing menopause, perimenopause, or whether your symptoms may be linked to another condition.
This test is ideal if you are experiencing symptoms such as:
- Hot flushes or night sweats
- Mood changes or anxiety
- Fatigue or poor sleep
- Irregular or changing periods
- Brain fog or memory changes
It’s also suitable if you want clarity about hormonal changes or reassurance about your health.
Menopause is a natural stage of life where hormone levels change, typically occurring in your 40s or 50s. However, symptoms can begin earlier during the perimenopause (menopause transition).
This test measures key hormones involved in:
- Ovarian function
- Menstrual cycle regulation
- Hormonal balance
It also includes thyroid markers, as some menopause-like symptoms can actually be caused by thyroid dysfunction.
By assessing these markers together, this test helps provide a clearer understanding of what may be causing your symptoms.
This test measures 5 biomarkers across 2 categories:
- Thyroid (2 biomarkers)
- Free T4 (Thyroxine)
- Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
- Hormones (3 biomarkers)
- Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
- Luteinising Hormone (LH)
- Oestradiol
- You must be 18 years or over to take this test
- Take your sample in the morning for best accuracy
- Avoid biotin supplements for 48 hours before testing (unless advised by your doctor)
- Oestradiol is only included with in-clinic testing
What biomarkers do we test?
- FSH: Controls reproductive function in men and women.
- LH: Regulates reproductive hormone production.
- Oestradiol: Regulates reproductive health and hormone balance.
- TSH: Regulates thyroid hormone production.
- Free T4: Helps regulate metabolism and energy.
More Information
Hormone levels naturally fluctuate throughout the menstrual cycle and during the menopause transition, which means results can vary depending on when your test is taken.
Because of this:
- A single test may not always provide a complete picture
- If symptoms persist, repeat testing may be recommended
This test helps you:
- Understand whether your symptoms may be hormone-related
- Differentiate between menopause and other conditions such as thyroid issues
- Take informed steps towards managing your health and wellbeing
Results are typically available within 10 working days from when your sample reaches the laboratory.
