What is a Female Hormone Test?
Our Female Hormone Test will establish whether you have a hormone imbalance which could be affecting areas of your health including fertility, mood and menstrual cycle. This test needs a nurse to collect a blood sample.
Why consider a Female Hormone Test?
You may wish to consider this test if you want to check your level of important hormones or:
You are experiencing irregular or heavy periods
You are experiencing weight gain
You are experiencing signs of fatigue and are concerned it may be due to the menopause or a thyroid concern
You are planning to get pregnant and want to check that your hormone levels are normal.
How does this test work?
This test requires a blood sample. Once you have collected your blood sample, place it in the postage-paid envelope provided and post it to our accredited UK laboratory for analysis.
What tests will you run on my sample?
This test will review the following:
Luteinising Hormone (LH). This hormone helps to control the menstrual cycle.
Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH). This hormone is important for the production of eggs in the ovaries.
Prolactin. This hormone plays an important role in reproductive health.
17 beta-oestradiol. This test will measure the amount of the hormone oestradiol (a form of the hormone oestrogen).
