Overview of the Female Hormone Profile Test
The Female Hormone Profile is a focused four-marker blood test assessing ovarian hormone activity and pituitary signalling involved in menstrual and reproductive function.
The profile measures Follicle Stimulating Hormone, Luteinising Hormone, Prolactin and Oestradiol.
FSH and LH are produced by the pituitary gland and regulate important stages of ovarian function.
Oestradiol is a principal circulating oestrogen produced predominantly by the ovaries before menopause.
Its concentration changes considerably during the menstrual cycle.
Prolactin is another pituitary hormone. Significantly raised Prolactin can influence ovulation, menstrual regularity and fertility.
Because these hormones change according to menstrual-cycle stage, age, menopause status, pregnancy, medication and hormonal contraception, timing and clinical context are essential when interpreting the profile.
The Female Hormone Profile costs £299.99 and results are generally expected within approximately one working day.
What Does the Female Hormone Profile Test Check?
The Female Hormone Profile measures 4 reproductive and pituitary hormones.
Follicle Stimulating Hormone
Measures FSH, a pituitary hormone involved in ovarian follicle development and reproductive function.
Luteinising Hormone
Measures LH, a pituitary hormone involved in ovulation and ovarian hormone production.
Prolactin
Measures a pituitary hormone that can influence ovulation, menstruation and fertility when significantly abnormal.
Oestradiol-17-Beta
Measures the principal biologically active form of circulating oestrogen and provides information about ovarian hormone activity.
Who May Benefit From the Female Hormone Profile Test?
The profile may be useful when reproductive hormone balance requires focused assessment.
Women with irregular menstrual cycles - FSH, LH, Oestradiol and Prolactin can provide useful endocrine information.
Women whose periods have stopped unexpectedly - Hormone testing may contribute to investigation.
Women undergoing fertility assessment - Pituitary and ovarian hormones form part of reproductive evaluation.
Women with suspected ovulatory problems - FSH, LH and Oestradiol provide information about reproductive signalling.
Women with possible raised Prolactin - Prolactin can affect ovulation and menstrual regularity.
Women with symptoms occurring around perimenopause or menopause - Hormonal measurements can sometimes provide additional information when interpreted clinically.
Women requiring a reproductive hormone baseline - Results can provide objective measurements for future comparison.
How to Prepare
Different clinical questions require testing at different points in the menstrual cycle.
Do not stop contraception, HRT or fertility medication unless advised by the clinician responsible for your care.
Symptoms and Reasons to Consider the Female Hormone Profile Test
Hormonal symptoms overlap substantially with other medical conditions and should be interpreted carefully.
Irregular periods - Changes in reproductive hormone signalling are one possible contributor.
Absent periods - Amenorrhoea can have several hormonal and non-hormonal causes.
Difficulty conceiving - Reproductive hormone assessment can form part of fertility investigation.
Unexpected breast milk production - Raised Prolactin is one possible cause.
Hot flushes or changing menstrual patterns - These may occur during perimenopause.
Reduced libido - Hormonal changes can contribute, although many other factors are possible.
Cycle-related symptoms requiring investigation - Testing can provide objective endocrine information.
Severe pelvic pain, unusually heavy bleeding, suspected pregnancy complications or acute illness requires appropriate clinical assessment.
This four-marker profile does not provide a complete fertility, PCOS or menopause assessment by itself.

When Will I Receive My Results?
Results are generally expected within approximately 1 working day after laboratory receipt.
Occasional repeat analysis may extend reporting.
Understanding Your Results
Female reproductive hormone results cannot be interpreted accurately without considering age and menstrual-cycle stage.
FSH and LH vary across the follicular phase, ovulation and luteal phase.
Oestradiol can change substantially over relatively short periods of time during the cycle.
FSH tends to rise after menopause as ovarian responsiveness declines.
Prolactin may rise temporarily because of stress, exercise, sleep, pregnancy, breast stimulation or certain medicines.
An isolated abnormal result therefore does not automatically establish a reproductive or pituitary disorder.
Further testing may include Progesterone, AMH, Testosterone, SHBG, thyroid hormones or other investigations depending on the clinical question.
