Menopause Hormone Blood Test

Are symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, or hot flushes affecting your daily life? Distinguishing between perimenopause and thyroid issues can be difficult. This profile measures key female hormones (FSH, LH, Oestradiol) alongside thyroid function to clarify what's happening inside your body so you can take the right next steps.

Common questions

Everything you need to know before ordering your Menopause Hormone Blood Test.

What does this test measure?

This profile checks 5 key markers: FSH (follicle stimulating hormone), LH (luteinising hormone), oestradiol, TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) and free T4. It covers both reproductive hormones and thyroid function because the two are commonly confused.

Why does this test include thyroid markers?

Thyroid dysfunction causes symptoms that closely mimic perimenopause: fatigue, weight changes, mood shifts, brain fog and irregular periods. Including TSH and FT4 helps distinguish between the two, avoiding months of guesswork.

When should I take this test?

If you are still having periods, test on day 2 to 5 of your menstrual cycle for the most informative hormone readings. If your periods are irregular or have stopped, you can test at any time.

Do I need to fast?

No fasting is required. Morning testing (before 10 AM) is preferred for the most stable thyroid readings. Avoid biotin supplements for 48 hours before testing.

How will I receive my results?

Secure online results with a GP-written explanation from Brooksby Medical in 2 to 3 working days.

More about Brooksby

How accurate are the results?

All samples are processed in UKAS-accredited UK laboratories — the same accreditation standard used by NHS hospitals. Your results are then personally reviewed by a qualified GP before your report is issued.

Who writes the reports?

Every report is written by Dr James Coleman, an experienced, GMC-registered GP — not generated by AI or written by non-medical staff.

How long do results take?

Most reports are ready within 2–3 working days of your sample arriving at the lab. You will receive an email when your report is ready in your secure portal.

Do I need a GP referral?

No. You can order directly without a referral. Brooksby Medical is a CQC-registered service, and every result is reviewed by a practising GP.

Can I share my results with my NHS GP?

Absolutely. Your report is designed to be shared with any healthcare professional. Many of our patients bring their Brooksby report to their NHS GP appointment for further discussion.

What happens if something is abnormal?

Your doctor-written report will flag any abnormal results with clear explanations and recommended next steps. For significantly abnormal results, we'll contact you directly.

What is the difference between venous and fingerprick?

Fingerprick tests use a small lancet to collect drops of blood at home. Venous tests are drawn from a vein by a nurse or phlebotomist. Each test page specifies which is required.

Is my data kept private?

Yes. All data is handled in accordance with UK GDPR. Packaging is plain with no indication of contents. Results are sent securely to you only, not shared or sold.
