- Uses of This Test
The Menopause Hormones Profile is a targeted blood test designed to assess key hormonal changes associated with perimenopause and menopause. It measures hormones involved in ovarian function, cycle regulation, and thyroid balance to help provide clarity during a time when symptoms can be confusing or overlap with other health conditions.
This profile is suitable for women experiencing hormonal changes, menstrual irregularities, or menopause-related symptoms, and for those who want a clearer understanding of where they are in the menopausal transition.
Hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause can affect many areas of health, including energy levels, mood, sleep, weight, and menstrual patterns. Because symptoms vary widely between individuals, blood testing provides objective insight into hormonal status.
This profile focuses on four key hormones:
FSH and LH
As ovarian function declines, FSH and LH levels typically rise. Measuring these hormones helps assess whether symptoms may be related to perimenopause or menopause.
Oestradiol (E2)
Oestradiol is the primary form of oestrogen and plays an important role in menstrual regulation, bone health, mood, and temperature control. Levels often fluctuate or decline during the menopausal transition.
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
Thyroid imbalance can cause symptoms that closely mimic menopause, including fatigue, weight changes, low mood, and temperature sensitivity. Including TSH helps rule out thyroid-related causes of symptoms.
Together, these markers help build a clearer picture of hormonal balance and guide further discussion around symptom management or treatment options.
- Assess menopausal or perimenopausal status
- Investigate menstrual cycle changes
- Investigate menopause-related symptoms
- Differentiate menopause from thyroid issues

How accurate are home finger-prick tests compared to clinic tests?
Our home finger-prick tests use the same accredited laboratories as our clinic tests. While clinic tests allow for more comprehensive panels, home tests are highly accurate for the parameters they measure.
Do I need a GP referral for a blood test?
No, you don’t need a GP referral. You can book directly with us for any blood test. We are a private clinic offering direct access to comprehensive blood testing.
How old do I have to be to have a blood test?
We will only draw blood from those aged 16 and above due to legal requirements.
How long does it take for the blood test results to come?
If you have used our clinic to complete a blood test, we send off all samples the same day to the lab to be processed. If you have used a home test kit, then once your sample has been sent off the lab will analyse your sample. Results are usually received within 72 hours.
How do I perform the home finger-prick test?
Your home blood test kit will contain easy-to-follow instructions on how to take your own finger blood sample. If you have any concerns or questions prior to using the kit, please contact our phlebotomists who will be happy to assist.
How do I prepare for a blood test?
There is no preparation required prior to taking any of the blood tests. Please simply remember to stay hydrated prior to your appointment. This is to help your veins dilate better to enable a quick and efficient blood sample to be taken and reduce the risks of feeling faint following your blood test.
Please inform the phlebotomist before your test if you are currently taking any blood thinning medication.
Should I fast before my blood test?
Fasting is not required for most blood tests. However, if your profile includes cholesterol tests and you’ve previously had high levels, consider fasting for 8 hours beforehand. While not essential, fasting can provide more accurate results.
Note: Fasting means abstaining from any food and drink, except for water.
