Not usually. NICE guidance says perimenopause and menopause can be recognised from symptoms in otherwise healthy women aged 45 or over, without blood tests. An FSH test may be considered from 40 to 45 if you have symptoms, including a change in your cycle, or under 40 if early menopause is suspected. Some contraception affects FSH results. Testing can still help rule out other causes, such as thyroid problems.

No single blood test diagnoses PCOS. The NHS explains that diagnosis usually involves blood tests to check hormone levels and insulin resistance, and sometimes an ultrasound scan, alongside your symptoms. Testosterone, SHBG and the free androgen index show whether androgen levels are raised, which helps your practitioner or GP rule out other causes and decide on next steps.

AMH is a hormone made by the small follicles in the ovaries, so it gives an estimate of your remaining egg reserve. It is most useful when planning fertility treatment or thinking about egg freezing. It does not, on its own, tell you whether you can conceive naturally, so your practitioner will always discuss the result in context. Our AMH test costs £99.

It depends on the hormone and the question you want answered. Some hormones, such as progesterone, are most useful at a particular point in the cycle, and the right day depends on how regular your periods are. Hormonal contraception can also change results. Tell us about your cycle and any medicines when you book, and we will advise the best day for your test.

You do not need a GP referral. You book directly with us, and a practitioner explains your results with you once they are back, usually within a few working days. If you would like your GP to see them, we can provide a GP feedback report on request. If anything needs medical follow-up, we will tell you clearly and recommend that you see your GP.
