TEST PREPARATION
Take this test before 11 AM. Take this test two to five days after the start of your period, ideally on day three. It can be taken at any time if you do not have periods. Do not take biotin supplements for two days before this test, discuss this with your doctor if it is prescribed. Hormonal contraception can affect the results of this test. Taking a break from this and waiting for your periods to restart before your blood test will give more accurate results.
LIMITATIONS
Hormone levels can fluctuate significantly during the lead-up to menopause. Therefore, a menopause home test might show your levels within normal pre-menopausal ranges one month and indicate menopausal levels the next. Because of this variability, we recommend repeating the test the following month to obtain a clearer picture of your menopausal status. It’s important to note that contraceptives containing estrogen and progesterone, or high-dose progesterone, will impact your natural FSH and LH levels.
What parameters are tested?
Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
Measure FSH levels, a hormone that plays a crucial role in regulating the menstrual cycle. Elevated FSH levels are indicative of decreased ovarian function, a common occurrence during menopause.
Luteinizing Hormone (LH)
Assess LH levels, another hormone involved in the regulation of the menstrual cycle. LH levels, when elevated, can also signal changes in ovarian function associated with menopause.
Oestradiol
Measure oestradiol levels, a form of oestrogen that decreases during menopause. Monitoring oestradiol helps assess the decline in ovarian function and hormonal changes characteristic of menopause.
Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
Evaluate TSH levels to assess thyroid function. Fluctuations in thyroid hormones can influence menopausal symptoms, and testing TSH provides insights into thyroid health during this transitional phase.
Free Thyroxine (FT4)
Assess ketone levels in the urine, which may indicate the breakdown of fats for energy. Elevated ketones can be associated with conditions such as diabetes or fasting.

A Menopause Blood Test assesses hormonal levels to help determine if a woman is transitioning into menopause. It evaluates key hormones like FSH, LH, Oestradiol, TSH, and Free Thyroxine.
Menopause symptoms vary, but commonly include hot flashes, mood swings, night sweats, irregular periods, vaginal dryness, and difficulty sleeping.
LH levels surge during menopause, indicating the body's increased effort to stimulate ovulation. Monitoring LH helps understand hormonal changes.
FSH levels rise during menopause, indicating the ovaries are producing less oestrogen.
Oestradiol, a form of estrogen, decreases during menopause. Its measurement helps gauge the decline in ovarian function and estrogen production.
Thyroid hormones influence overall health. TSH and Free Thyroxine are measured to rule out thyroid-related factors affecting menopausal symptoms.
Typically, between 45-55, but individual experiences may vary.
Perimenopause is the transitional phase leading up to menopause, during which a woman's body undergoes hormonal changes.
Menopause marks the end of the reproductive years, defined by the absence of menstrual periods for 12 consecutive months.
