A comprehensive womens hormone blood screening for £30 (was £227) including;
Progesterone
Progesterone is an endogenous steroid hormone that is commonly produced by the adrenal cortex as well as the gonads, which consist of the ovaries and the testes. Progesterone is also secreted by the ovarian corpus luteum during the first ten weeks of pregnancy, followed by the placenta in the later phase of pregnancy.
Prolactin
A prolactin test can be used to diagnose a prolactinoma, find the cause of irregular periods or infertility, or monitor a prolactinoma to see if treatment is working.
Free Androgen Index
A free androgen index (FAI) is a ratio that estimates the amount of biologically active testosterone in the blood and indicates whether androgen levels are abnormal
Sex Hormone Binding Globulin
SHBG controls the amount of testosterone that your body tissues can use. Too little testosterone in males and too much testosterone in females can cause problems. The level of SHBG in your blood changes because of factors such as sex and age. It can also change because of obesity, liver disease, and hyperthyroidism
Testosterone
Free testosterone, also called unbound testosterone, refers to the amount of testosterone available for your body to use. Testosterone plays a role in red blood cell production — which is important for energy. It also helps maintain your mood, muscle and bone strength, sex drive, and fertility.
Luteinising hormone
LH plays a key role in reproduction. Mid-cycle, your LH levels increase which triggers your ovaries to release an egg — ovulation. If your LH levels are imbalanced, you might have irregular periods and difficulty getting pregnant. Or high LH levels can be a sign that you’re menopausal.
Oestradiol
Oestradiol (E2) is a type of oestrogen and is the main ‘female’ sex hormone. E2 is essential for egg production, protects you against bone loss, and helps regulate your cholesterol levels.
Follicle-stimulating hormone
FSH helps to regulate your menstrual cycle and plays a key role in egg production and ovulation. If your FSH levels are imbalanced, it can affect your fertility. Or high FSH levels can be a sign that you’re menopausal.
Female hormones support many bodily functions including fertility, metabolism, mood and even sleep. A change to your period, weight gain, acne, hair loss, low energy levels, anxiety/depression or muscle weakness can all be signs of a hormone imbalance.
Our convenient at-home female hormone test will help you to identify if a hormone imbalance could be the cause of your symptoms.
It is important to note that the contraceptive pill 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.
This test should be taken two to five days after the start of your period, ideally on day three. If you want a general check or are post-menopausal it can be taken on any day.
It is important to note that hormones from HRT can affect your results. We recommend that you avoid taking the sample from the finger used to apply hormone gels / patches / pessaries in the past 28 days and that you use gloves to apply these.
