What is an HRT profile home test?
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) means the replacement of any hormone that is missing in the body. In this case, HRT refers specifically to the replacement of hormones in women, which are no longer produced during the perimenopausal (leading up to the menopause) period or after the menopause (last period) itself. If you are taking HRT medication, then the levels of these hormones will be restored and symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, sleep disturbance, low mood, irritability and low sex drive should be alleviated. This HRT profile will check that your hormones are optimally balanced whilst taking your HRT medication.
This test kit needs a professional to collect your blood sample for you.

If you are taking HRT and have any symptoms that indicate your hormones may not be optimal as listed above, then the Better2Know HRT profile home test will quickly give you an oversight.

What should I do with my results?
Your results will determine whether the levels of FSH, oestradiol 17-beta and progesterone in your body are in optimal balance to alleviate your menopausal symptoms. If your result shows an abnormal balance of hormones, then you should consult a doctor to discuss the results and maybe change the type of HRT you are taking.
