Hormone Profile (Female)
Checks the hormones behind mood swings, low libido, irregular periods and unexplained symptoms — all the key players in one draw.
Is the Hormone Profile (Female) right for you?
- Have irregular, very long or absent periods.
- Have symptoms that may point to PCOS, such as acne, excess hair growth or irregular cycles.
- Are having difficulty conceiving and want an early look at the hormonal factors involved.
- Have symptoms that could suggest reduced ovarian function or early menopause.
- Have unexplained changes in mood, weight or energy that may be hormonal.
8 markers, explained in plain English
The Hormone Profile measures 8 reproductive and adrenal hormones: FSH and LH (which regulate the menstrual cycle), oestradiol and progesterone (ovarian hormones), prolactin, and testosterone together with SHBG and the free androgen index (androgen markers relevant to PCOS). Together these can help a clinician identify or rule out hormonal causes of irregular periods, PCOS, raised prolactin and reduced ovarian function.
Markers you can also test on their own
Every marker in the Hormone Profile (Female) can also be booked individually. Tap a marker to learn what it measures and why it's tested.

Your questions about the Hormone Profile (Female)
What does a hormone profile blood test show? +
It measures FSH, LH, oestradiol, progesterone, prolactin, testosterone, SHBG and the free androgen index. Together these can help a clinician identify or rule out hormonal causes of irregular periods, PCOS, raised prolactin and reduced ovarian function. Every result is reviewed by a clinician who explains what it means.
Does it matter when in my cycle I take this test? +
Yes — several of these hormones change across the menstrual cycle, so the timing of your test affects how results are interpreted. Our team will advise on the best timing when you book.
What happens if a result comes back abnormal? +
A clinician reviews every panel before it's released. If something is outside the normal range, we explain what it means in plain English and recommend sensible next steps — which may include a GP appointment, a repeat test, or onward referral. This test is a screening investigation and isn't a substitute for a clinical diagnosis.
