- Used to assess ovarian function, fertility and menopause status
- Also present at lower levels in men
- A pituitary hormone that regulates egg/sperm production
- Used to assess fertility and menopause status in women
- Also checked in men to help assess sperm production
- Measures red cells, white cells and platelets
- A foundational test for overall health, anaemia and infection
- The 'Differential' breaks white cells down by specific type
- A pituitary hormone that triggers ovulation in women
- Also plays a role in testosterone production in men
- Checked alongside FSH for fertility and hormonal assessment
- A hormone that rises after ovulation to support early pregnancy
- Used to confirm whether ovulation has occurred
- Also monitored in early pregnancy
- A pituitary hormone best known for its role in breastfeeding
- Raised levels outside pregnancy can disrupt periods and fertility
- Checked when investigating irregular cycles or low libido
- The primary male sex hormone, also present in women
- Affects energy, muscle mass, libido and mood
- Low levels in men can cause fatigue and reduced sex drive
- The pituitary hormone that signals the thyroid to produce T3/T4

- Raised or low levels suggest an underactive or overactive thyroid
About this profile
The Women’s Hormones Profile is a comprehensive blood test designed to assess key hormones that regulate female reproductive health, energy, mood, and metabolism. Hormonal imbalances can lead to symptoms such as irregular periods, mood changes, fertility issues, and fatigue. Regular testing helps identify disruptions early, allowing for tailored treatment and lifestyle adjustments to restore balance and support overall well-being.
Who is this test for?
This profile is ideal for women who:
– Experience irregular, absent, or heavy menstrual cycles.
– Have fertility concerns or are planning for pregnancy.
– Suffer from mood swings, low libido, or persistent fatigue.
– Are managing conditions like PCOS, perimenopause, or thyroid disorders.
– Want to monitor hormonal health as part of a preventive or wellness check.
What can be detected?
Reproductive Hormones:
– Luteinising Hormone (LH): Regulates ovulation and reproductive function; abnormal levels may indicate PCOS or ovulatory issues.
– Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH): Stimulates egg production and assesses ovarian reserve.
– Estradiol (E2): The main form of estrogen, essential for menstrual regulation and fertility.
– Progesterone: Confirms ovulation and supports early pregnancy; low levels may indicate luteal phase defects.
– Prolactin: Elevated levels can interfere with ovulation and menstrual cycles.
– Testosterone: Present in smaller amounts in women; high levels may cause acne, hair growth, or irregular periods.
Thyroid Function:
– Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH): Measures thyroid activity; imbalances can contribute to fatigue, weight changes, and cycle irregularities.
Blood Health:
– Full Blood Count (FBC): Evaluates red and white blood cells and platelets to detect anemia, inflammation, or infection that may impact hormone health.
Fasting requirements
Fasting is not required for this test. However, timing of sample collection (e.g., specific day of the menstrual cycle) may be advised for accurate hormone interpretation.
