The Hormone Profile Blood Test measures eight markers: FSH, LH, the LH/FSH ratio, oestradiol, progesterone, prolactin, SHBG and total testosterone. It gives a picture of your reproductive hormones, whether you are looking into irregular periods, fertility or symptoms around the menopause.
Hormone levels change through the menstrual cycle and in perimenopause, so one result is a snapshot rather than a diagnosis. Your results are most useful when read alongside your symptoms and history.
What the Hormone Profile Blood Test measures
| Biomarker | What it shows |
|---|---|
| FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) | Helps regulate the menstrual cycle and egg development; levels can rise around the menopause |
| LH (luteinising hormone) | Triggers ovulation in women and testosterone production in men |
| LH/FSH ratio | A calculation sometimes looked at alongside other tests when assessing conditions such as PCOS; it is not diagnostic on its own |
| Oestradiol (oestrogen) | The main female sex hormone, involved in cycle regulation, bone health and mood |
| Progesterone | The hormone that balances oestrogen and is linked to ovulation |
| Prolactin | A pituitary hormone that can affect ovulation and periods when raised |
| SHBG | The protein that binds sex hormones and controls how much is active |
| Total testosterone | Involved in libido, energy and muscle health in both women and men |
Timing your test
If you still have periods, timing matters. FSH, LH and oestradiol are usually checked around Day 3 of your cycle (Day 1 is the first day of full bleeding), and progesterone is usually checked about a week before your next period. Tell us what you want to look at when you book and we will advise on timing. If Day 3 falls on a weekend, test on the following Monday. Post-menopausal women and men can test on any day.

Frequently asked questions
How long do results take?
Results are usually available within 72 hours.
Can a blood test confirm perimenopause or menopause?
Not on its own. Hormone levels, FSH in particular, can fluctuate in perimenopause, so a single result cannot confirm or rule it out. It can add useful information alongside your symptoms.
What day of my cycle should I test?
See the timing section above. We will confirm the best day when you book.
Does this test check thyroid or iron?
No. Thyroid problems and low iron can cause similar symptoms, so you may want our Thyroid Blood Test or Iron Studies Blood Test, or the Well Woman Blood Test, which covers more.
