What is a menopause blood test?

A menopause test is a simple-to-use finger-prick blood test which can measure up to 9 markers related to menopause and hormone health.

Which blood test should I choose: perimenopause or menopause?

Here's a simple guide to help you choose the right test: Perimenopause blood test Recommended for: Women over 45 experiencing symptoms like irregular periods, mood swings, or hot flushes. Key biomarkers: Oestradiol & FSH: Measure hormonal fluctuations typical in early perimenopause. Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH): Assesses ovarian reserve and potential proximity to menopause. Progesterone & LH: Indicates irregular ovulation and hormone balance. Other markers: Includes thyroid function (Free T4 and TSH), testosterone levels, and Vitamin D, all crucial in understanding perimenopausal changes. Menopause blood test Recommended for: Women who have ceased menstruating for 12 consecutive months and experience menopause symptoms. Key biomarkers: Oestradiol & FSH: High FSH alongside low oestradiol can signal menopause. Progesterone & LH: Help to confirm reduced ovarian function. Other factors: Total testosterone, SHBG, Free T4, and TSH for comprehensive hormonal health understanding. Which to choose? Perimenopause test: Ideal if you're noticing early changes and want to get a better understanding of your hormone health that could be linked to symptoms. Menopause test: Best if your menstrual cycles have stopped for 12 consecutive months, and you're seeking validation and guidance for menopause.

What is a perimenopause blood test?

A Perimenopause Blood Test involves measuring specific hormone levels in your blood to assess whether you might be in the transitional phase leading up to menopause, known as perimenopause. Key hormones typically assessed include follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and oestradiol, among others. These hormone levels can fluctuate during perimenopause, providing insights into changes that may be occurring in your body.

How do I carry out the perimenopause blood test?"

Assessing hormonal changes associated with perimenopause can be conveniently done at home using our finger-prick blood test kit. Once you collect the sample, it is sent to our laboratory for analysis. The results will provide insights into your current hormone levels.

When will I receive my results?

You’ll get your results in 3-5 days via your account.

Does a clinician review the report?

Yes, one of our clinicians will review your sample and provide a clear breakdown of what your results mean, plus personalised advice and next steps if any treatment or follow-up is needed.

Does taking a blood sample with a home blood test hurt?

Each test is a finger prick test, so you may feel a small scratch when you use the lancet provided with it to take a blood sample. This is only temporary, and any discomfort should subside swiftly afterwards. For some of our tests, we offer Tasso+. This device lets you easily collect blood without pricking your finger. Attach the device to your upper arm and press—it's as simple as that.

What happens if something abnormal is found?

All results are reviewed by a registered clinician. If anything is outside of the expected range, we’ll flag it clearly and provide guidance on next steps — whether that’s a lifestyle change, repeat testing, follow-up with your GP, or a medical specialist.

Will I be able to discuss my results with someone?

Yes. We offer optional GP consultations if you'd like to go through your results in more detail. Your report also includes context, explanations, and where necessary, a letter you can share with your own healthcare provider.

Are my results and data confidential?

Absolutely. We follow strict data privacy protocols and all your personal information and health data are kept secure and confidential.
