This test helps you monitor key female hormone levels, including oestrogen and progesterone, as well as important biomarkers for bone strength and heart health – two areas of increased risk after menopause. It’s also an effective way to assess how well your HRT is working, helping you make informed decisions about your treatment and overall well-being.

WHEN TO TAKE THE TEST?
Collect your blood sample within 3 hours of waking. If you’re still having periods, collect your blood sample on the 3rd day of your period. If you no longer have periods, you can take the test at any time.
IMPORTANT: If you're using a hormone gel or cream, we would highly recommend the sample is collected via a phlebotomy draw (blood drawn via a vein) due to the risk of contamination.

Your detailed menopause health report helps you understand key hormonal changes, identify areas for improvement, and track progress over time.
Menopause brings major hormonal shifts that can have a lasting impact on your body. While some changes are easy to notice, like hot flushes and mood swings, others, such as declining bone density or increased heart disease risk, can develop silently over time.
Our data shows a sharp decline in oestrogen from 267 pmol/L in women aged 40-49, to just 50 pmol/L in women over 60. These drops can increase your risk of osteoporosis, heart disease, and skin aging. Testing hormone levels in menopause provides clarity, helping you to make informed choices, whether you’re considering HRT, adjusting nutrition, or optimising lifestyle habits for long-term health.
Our menopause health test is quick, easy and accurate, giving you complete control over your hormone health.

NEEDS ATTENTION
The pattern of your female hormones is indicative of reduced ovarian responsiveness. The pituitary increases the production of control hormones, particularly FSH, in order to stimulate the ovaries to release oestradiol. Ovarian responsiveness declines naturally as part of normal physiology from the age of 40, eventually culminating in menopause

What is menopause?
Menopause is the natural stage in a woman’s life when periods stop completely due to a decline in reproductive hormones, particularly oestrogen and progesterone. It’s officially diagnosed after 12 consecutive months without a period.
When does menopause start?
Most women reach menopause between the ages of 45 and 55, with the average age in the UK being 51. However, some may experience it earlier due to genetics, medical conditions, or surgery.
How long does menopause last?
Menopause itself is a single point in time (12 months after your last period), but symptoms can begin years before in perimenopause and last for several years after. On average, symptoms persist for 4-8 years, but every woman’s experience is different.
What are the first signs of menopause?
Early signs often include irregular periods, hot flushes, night sweats, mood changes, sleep disturbances, and brain fog. Some women also notice a drop in energy levels, anxiety, or changes in libido.
What are the worst menopause symptoms?
The most challenging symptoms vary for each woman but often include severe hot flushes, chronic fatigue, sleep disruption, anxiety, depression, joint pain, and memory issues.
What happens to my hormones during menopause?
Oestrogen and progesterone levels decline significantly, leading to symptoms like hot flushes, mood swings, and changes in bone and heart health. Testosterone levels may also decrease, affecting libido and energy levels.
What is the difference between perimenopause and menopause?
Perimenopause is the transitional phase leading up to menopause when hormone levels fluctuate and symptoms begin. Menopause is confirmed when you haven’t had a period for 12 months. Postmenopause refers to the years after menopause, when symptoms may continue but hormone levels have stabilised.
If you think you may be going through perimenopause, our at-home perimenopause test can help you check and track hormones, giving you the answers you need.
What’s the best menopause test?
Cheap supermarket menopause tests typically measure follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) using a urine sample, similar to a pregnancy test. While FSH can indicate menopause, these tests only provide a one-time snapshot and don’t account for the fact that hormone levels fluctuate daily. This makes them unreliable, especially during perimenopause when FSH levels can vary significantly.
In contrast, Forth’s menopause blood test provides a far more accurate and comprehensive assessment. It measures key hormones, including oestrogen, FSH, progesterone, and thyroid function, giving a clearer picture of your hormonal balance. Plus, your results are reviewed by experts and presented with actionable insights in the Forth app, helping you make informed decisions about managing menopause effectively.
Can I take this test if I'm on HRT?
Yes. This test is suitable for women who are on HRT. It is also useful for understanding if you are on the right dose of HRT as it measures your levels of oestrogen. Repeating the test over time will enable you to see if your oestrogen levels are declining further, requiring a possible change in your HRT dose.
When do I need to take the test?
If you’re still having periods, collect your blood sample on the 3rd day of your period. If you no longer have periods, you can take the test at any time.
How do I find out my results are ready?
We keep you updated throughout the process by email and text message.
