Female Hormonal Health
Hormones play a vital role in regulating many of the body’s essential functions, including metabolism, energy levels, reproductive health, and emotional well-being. When hormone levels become imbalanced, they can affect multiple aspects of a woman’s health, often causing symptoms that are disruptive and sometimes distressing. Common signs of hormonal imbalance include unexplained weight changes, fluctuating energy, chronic fatigue, excessive hair growth (hirsutism), acne, hair thinning or loss, and mood changes.
For women who are trying to conceive (TTC) or experiencing fertility challenges, this test is particularly valuable. It can detect hormonal imbalances that may impact ovulation, menstrual regularity, or reproductive function. Additionally, our Female Hormonal Health Profile includes an egg reserve assessment through measurement of Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH). This provides critical insights into your ovarian reserve, allowing your healthcare provider to guide personalised fertility planning and next steps in your reproductive journey.
Why a Female Hormonal Health test matters
Your hormones influence far more than your menstrual cycle — they shape your energy, mood, skin, sleep and fertility. When they fall out of balance, the effects can be wide-ranging and hard to pin down. This test measures the key female reproductive hormones, alongside a urinalysis screen, to help make sense of what's going on.
Because hormone levels change across the menstrual cycle, timing matters — and every result is reviewed and explained by a GP so you understand what it means for you.

What to know before your appointment
Hormonal contraception
It is important to note that hormonal contraception may affect your results. If you stop taking the pill, we suggest waiting until your periods have resumed their normal cycle before taking this test. Make sure that you take an alternative form of contraception if you are not planning to become pregnant.
HRT gels or creams
Please continue to take your HRT as usual. However, if you are using a transdermal form of HRT (gel, spray or cream), it is important that you wear gloves and avoid applying it to the area where the blood will be collected from, as it could contaminate the sample.
When to test
This test should be taken two to five days after the start of your period, ideally on day three.
Biotin (Vitamin B7)
Biotin (Vitamin B7) is a common component of many multivitamins and is also available as a standalone supplement. Biotin is known to interfere with laboratory testing and can affect various blood results. Unless prescribed by your doctor, we recommend stopping supplementation at least 48 hours prior to testing. If the supplement has been prescribed, please speak with your doctor before stopping.
