Menopause Hormone Test
Navigating the transition into menopause is a natural part of aging, yet the physical and hormonal changes that accompany it can significantly impact daily well-being. As levels of key hormones decline, many women experience symptoms such as hot flushes, mood changes, disrupted sleep, weight fluctuations, and reduced energy. More serious health concerns – including increased cardiovascular risk, declining bone density, and changes in metabolic function – may also emerge gradually and without clear early warning signs.Â
Hormonal balance during menopause is closely connected to multiple body systems, including the thyroid, adrenal glands, and metabolic pathways that regulate mood, temperature control, and overall vitality.Â
Our Menopause Health Test Profile offers a comprehensive evaluation of the key hormones and biological markers involved in the menopausal transition. This simple blood test provides clear, actionable insights into your hormonal status, helping your healthcare provider identify imbalances, understand the root causes of symptoms, and guide personalised strategies to support comfort, resilience, and long-term health throughout menopause.
Why a Menopause Hormone Test matters
Perimenopause and menopause bring shifting hormone levels that can affect your periods, sleep, mood, energy, temperature and much more. Measuring the key reproductive hormones — alongside thyroid function, which can cause very similar symptoms — helps clarify what's really behind how you're feeling. This test also includes a urinalysis screen.
Because hormone levels fluctuate, timing can matter — and every result is reviewed and explained by a GP, with clear guidance on what it means and your options, including HRT.

When to test
Hormone levels fluctuate, so testing is most consistent in the early follicular phase (around day 2–3). However, if your cycles are irregular or you are already perimenopausal, timing is less important, and the test can be arranged at any point that's convenient to you.
Fasting required (8–12 hours)
Fasting for 8–12 hours prior to your test is recommended, as non-fasting can affect heart health, cardiovascular risk score, diabetes health, iron status and testosterone levels (only consume water during this fasting period). Fasting for extended periods can affect your results or cause adverse reactions during sample collection.
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.
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.
