Menopause Test
GetTested's Menopause Test measures key reproductive and thyroid hormones associated with perimenopause and menopause. The panel includes FSH, LH, oestradiol, TSH and FT4, providing insight into hormonal changes that commonly occur during the menopausal transition. As hormone levels change, symptoms such as hot flushes, irregular periods, sleep disturbances and mood changes may become more common. This test helps assess hormonal patterns associated with menopause while also evaluating thyroid function, as thyroid-related symptoms can sometimes overlap with those experienced during this stage of life.

Why Choose This Menopause Test?
This panel combines key reproductive and thyroid hormone markers to provide insight into hormonal changes associated with perimenopause and menopause. The inclusion of thyroid markers is particularly valuable, as some symptoms commonly experienced during this stage of life may overlap with those associated with thyroid dysfunction.
Samples are analysed by a UKAS-accredited laboratory operating to ISO 15189 standards, ensuring high-quality testing and reliable results. Results are securely delivered online, typically within 1–3 working days following analysis.

Biomarkers included – Menopause Test
- FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone): Menopause and Reproductive Hormones — Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is produced by the pituitary gland and plays an important role in reproductive function in both women and men. In women, FSH helps stimulate the growth and maturation of ovarian follicles and varies across the menstrual cycle. In men, FSH supports sperm production through its action on Sertoli cells in the testes. Measuring FSH can help assess fertility and ovari
- Luteinising Hormone: Menopause and Reproductive Hormones — Luteinising Hormone (LH) is a gonadotropin produced by the pituitary gland that plays a critical role in regulating the reproductive system. In women, a surge in LH triggers ovulation and the development of the corpus luteum, while in men, it stimulates the Leydig cells in the testes to produce testosterone.
- Oestradiol: Menopause and Reproductive Hormones — Oestradiol is the most potent form of estrogen and plays a central role in regulating the female reproductive system and bone density. It is essential for monitoring ovarian function, fertility, and the progression of menopause, while also supporting cardiovascular health in both men and women.
- Thyroid Stimulating Hormone: Thyroid Function — Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) is produced by the pituitary gland to regulate the production of hormones by the thyroid gland. It is a critical indicator of thyroid health, used to screen for conditions like hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) or hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid).
- Free Thyroxine (fT4): Thyroid Function — Free Thyroxine (fT4) is the unbound, active form of the thyroid hormone thyroxine in the bloodstream. It's crucial for assessing thyroid function because it directly reflects the amount of hormone available to regulate metabolism, growth, and energy levels. Measuring fT4 helps diagnose and monitor conditions like hyperthyroidism (too much) or hypothyroidism (too little) thyroid hormone.
Frequently asked questions – Menopause Test
Can hormone levels help show where I am in the menopause transition?
Yes. Follicle stimulating hormone, luteinising hormone and oestradiol can provide useful context around perimenopause, menopause related hormone changes and cycle transition patterns.
Can thyroid function affect symptoms that feel like menopause?
Yes. Thyroid function can influence energy, mood, temperature regulation, weight changes and cycle patterns, which may overlap with menopause related symptoms.
Can I reschedule my appointment?
Yes, appointments can be rearranged. Please provide sufficient notice before your scheduled appointment.
What happens if my sample cannot be analysed?
If a sample is unsuitable for analysis, our customer support team will contact you with information about the next steps.
Customer reviews – Menopause Test
4.7/5 (3)
- 5/5 — I was really confused about my symptoms, but this confirmed it was perimenopause and not my thyroid like I originally thought. Smooth process was a bonus.
- 5/5 — Results report was easy to understand.
- 4/5 — Good test overall and very informative, as expected. Useful to see both hormone and thyroid levels in one go.
