A Women’s Hormone Blood Test is a medical assessment designed for women to evaluate women’s hormonal levels in the blood, including estrogen, progesterone, and other relevant hormones. This service helps monitor and assess hormonal balance, detect potential issues like hormonal imbalances, and provides valuable insights for managing women’s health, particularly related to reproductive and hormonal well-being. We give women access to our team of healthcare professionals who can interpret the results and offer personalised recommendations for hormone-related issues, empowering them to effectively manage their hormonal health (a separate consultation will be required).
Female hormone blood tests are very important for checking and managing women’s health, both for their reproductive system and overall health. When a woman is pregnant, blood tests during pregnancy, which include checking for infections and immunity, help keep track of both the mother’s and baby’s health by finding conditions like rubella, hepatitis, and other infections that could affect the pregnancy. Hormone blood tests are also very important for women who have certain reproductive health issues, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which is when there are problems with hormones and irregular periods. Women dealing with fertility issues might have specific blood tests for fertility, such as the Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) test. This test checks the ovarian reserve and is important for understanding a woman’s reproductive ability. As women get closer to menopause, blood tests for hormones like estrogen and progesterone help monitor these levels to better understand and manage menopausal symptoms. These tests together give important information about different stages of a woman’s health, allowing for personalised care and early action when needed.

Below are the key blood tests used in Women’s Hormone, each focusing on a specific hormone or indicator.
Please confirm the package you are looking for.
Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) measures ovarian reserve by indicating the number of remaining eggs. Testing AMH helps assess fertility, reproductive lifespan, and guide treatment planning for conditions like PCOS or assisted reproduction.
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands that helps form sex hormones. Measuring DHEA helps assess adrenal and hormonal function, detect androgen excess, and evaluate conditions like PCOS or metabolic imbalances.
Blood group testing identifies an individual’s ABO and Rh type. In a women’s hormone blood test, knowing the blood group is useful for overall health records, pregnancy planning, and understanding potential compatibility or immune-related factors.
A cholesterol profile measures total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, and triglycerides to assess heart health. It helps detect high cholesterol, evaluate cardiovascular risk, and guide lifestyle or treatment plans for better long-term health.
A clotting test evaluates how well your blood clots to prevent excessive bleeding. It helps detect clotting disorders, assess liver function, and monitor conditions or medications that may affect blood coagulation and circulation.
Fasting glucose measures blood sugar levels after fasting. It helps assess how the body manages glucose, detect diabetes or insulin resistance, and evaluate metabolic and liver health as part of overall wellness screening.
Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) regulates ovarian function and egg development. Measuring FSH in women helps assess hormonal balance, ovarian reserve, fertility potential, and menstrual cycle health.
The Free Androgen Index (FAI) estimates the level of active testosterone in the blood. In women, a high FAI can indicate androgen excess, helping evaluate hormonal imbalances, PCOS symptoms, and related reproductive or metabolic issues.
Free testosterone measures the active, unbound testosterone in the blood. Elevated levels in women can indicate androgen excess, helping assess symptoms like acne, hair growth, irregular periods, and guide diagnosis and treatment of hormonal imbalances.
A Full Blood Count (FBC) measures red and white blood cells, haemoglobin, and platelets. It provides a comprehensive overview of blood health, helping detect anaemia, infection, clotting issues, and monitor overall metabolic and liver function.
Haematinics are nutrients like iron, vitamin B12, and folate that support red blood cell production. Testing haematinic levels helps detect deficiencies, anaemia, and underlying metabolic or liver-related issues, supporting overall blood health.
Haemoglobin electrophoresis analyses different types of haemoglobin in the blood. It helps detect genetic disorders like sickle cell or thalassemia, assess anaemia causes, and monitor overall blood and metabolic health.
HbA1c measures average blood sugar levels over the past 2–3 months. It helps detect diabetes or prediabetes, monitor long-term glucose control, and assess metabolic and heart health risks.
Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg) indicates an active hepatitis B infection. Testing HBsAg helps detect current infection, assess liver health, monitor disease progression, and guide treatment or preventive measures.
HIV 1/2 testing detects antibodies or antigens for HIV types 1 and 2. It helps identify HIV infection early, assess immune health, and guide timely treatment or preventive care to protect overall health.
Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin (hCG) is a hormone produced during pregnancy. Testing hCG helps confirm pregnancy, monitor early fetal development, and assess reproductive or hormonal health in women.
Hepatitis C antibody (HCV Ab) testing detects antibodies against the hepatitis C virus. It helps identify past or current infection, assess liver health, and guide further diagnostic testing and treatment planning.
Liver Function Tests (LFTs) measure liver enzymes, proteins, and bilirubin to assess liver health. They help detect liver damage, inflammation, or disease, monitor treatment, and guide management of metabolic and overall health.
Liver Function Tests (LFTs) measure liver enzymes, proteins, and bilirubin to assess liver health. They help detect liver damage, inflammation, or disease, monitor treatment, and guide management of metabolic and overall health.

Our clinicians will carry out a full assessment to ensure an accurate diagnosis and appropriate care.
Are your periods irregular, missed, or unusually heavy?
Hormonal imbalance affecting oestrogen, progesterone, or pituitary regulation can disrupt menstrual cycles. Blood testing helps assess key reproductive hormones such as FSH, LH, and oestradiol to identify underlying causes.
Are you experiencing difficulty conceiving or changes in fertility?
Ovulation and reproductive hormone imbalance may affect fertility. Blood tests measure LH, FSH, oestradiol, and progesterone to assess ovarian function and support investigation of fertility concerns.
Do you have symptoms of PMS or worsening premenstrual changes?
Severe mood changes, bloating, and breast tenderness may be linked to hormonal fluctuations. Testing helps assess progesterone and oestrogen balance across the cycle.
Are you noticing symptoms of perimenopause such as hot flushes or sleep disruption?
Changing ovarian hormone levels can cause vasomotor symptoms and cycle irregularity. Blood testing helps assess baseline reproductive hormones to support clinical interpretation of symptoms.
Do you experience acne, hair thinning, or excess hair growth?
Androgen imbalance, including testosterone and SHBG changes, can affect skin and hair. Blood testing helps identify hormonal causes such as elevated androgens or conditions like PCOS.
Do you feel low in mood, fatigued, or emotionally unstable?
Fluctuations in reproductive hormones can influence neurotransmitter activity and energy levels. Blood testing helps identify hormonal patterns contributing to mood and energy changes.
