Menopause Blood Profile

Understanding Hormonal Changes During Menopause

Menopause is a natural life stage, typically occurring between ages 45 and 55, marked by a gradual decline in reproductive hormone levels. This transition can bring a range of physical and emotional changes, including irregular periods, hot flushes, mood shifts, and sleep disturbances.

Our Menopause Blood Profile checks key hormones involved in this transition and can help confirm whether symptoms are related to menopause or other causes.

What’s Included in This Test?

This profile measures the following hormones:

• FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) – Typically rises as the ovaries become less active.
• LH (Luteinising Hormone) – Often elevated during the menopausal transition.
• Oestradiol – A form of oestrogen that declines during menopause.
• TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) – Checks for thyroid imbalances, which can mimic or worsen menopausal symptoms.
• FT4 (Free Thyroxine) – Assesses your thyroid hormone levels.

Why Is This Test Useful?

Many menopause-related symptoms overlap with other hormonal or thyroid conditions. This blood test helps:

• Confirm or rule out perimenopause or menopause
• Differentiate between thyroid and reproductive hormone issues
• Guide decisions about hormone replacement therapy (HRT) or other treatments
• Support discussions with your GP or specialist about your symptoms

Who Should Consider a Menopause Blood Test?

You may benefit from this test if:

• You’re over 40 and experiencing irregular periods or menopausal symptoms
• You’re under 40 with early signs of menopause (possible premature ovarian insufficiency)
• You want clarity before starting HRT
• You’re seeking reassurance or direction on how to manage symptoms

When Should I Take This Test?

You don’t need to fast or prepare specially for this test. If you still have a menstrual cycle, it’s often helpful to test during the early days of your period (Day 2–5), but testing can be done at any time depending on your circumstances.
