Details about Menopause Hormones Profile
What is the Menopause Hormones Profile?
The Menopause Hormones Profile is a blood test designed to assess hormonal changes associated with perimenopause and menopause. It measures FSH, LH, oestradiol, and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH)—hormones that influence ovarian function, menstrual regulation, and overall metabolic balance.
As ovarian function declines, hormone levels shift in predictable patterns. Testing provides objective insight into whether symptoms are hormonally driven and helps differentiate menopausal changes from thyroid-related or other hormonal causes.
Why do I need a Menopause Hormones Profile?
Menopause-related symptoms can overlap with thyroid imbalance or other hormonal conditions. Blood testing helps clarify the underlying cause.
You may benefit from this profile if you experience:
- Irregular or missed periods
- Hot flushes or night sweats
- Mood changes or anxiety
- Sleep disturbance
- Brain fog or poor concentration
- Fatigue or low energy
- Reduced libido
- Weight changes
- Symptoms starting in your 40s or earlier
Testing helps determine whether symptoms align with perimenopause, menopause, or another hormonal imbalance.

Links symptoms to measurable hormone changes. - Differentiates thyroid-related symptoms
Includes TSH to rule out thyroid dysfunction. - Supports informed care decisions
Provides objective data for next steps. - Useful in irregular cycle assessment
Helps explain menstrual changes. - Simple blood-based testing
Requires only one blood sample. - Widely used in clinical practice
Standard hormones for menopause assessment. - Suitable for baseline and monitoring
Can be repeated to track hormonal changes over time.

Your results explained
Low levels
- Low oestradiol – common in menopause; linked to hot flushes, low mood, vaginal dryness
- Low or normal FSH/LH (in symptomatic women) – may suggest early perimenopause
- Low TSH – may indicate thyroid overactivity rather than menopause
Typical UK reference examples (vary by lab):
- Oestradiol (postmenopause): <110 pmol/L
- TSH: <0.4 mIU/L
Normal levels
- Hormones within expected reference ranges
- May indicate early perimenopause or non-hormonal cause of symptoms
- Thyroid function appears normal
Typical UK reference examples:
- TSH: 0.4–4.0 mIU/L
High levels
- High FSH – strong indicator of ovarian decline
- High LH – commonly rises alongside FSH in menopause
- High TSH – may suggest underactive thyroid contributing to symptoms
Typical UK reference examples:
- FSH (postmenopause): >30 IU/L
- LH (postmenopause): >15 IU/L
- TSH: >4.0 mIU/L
Results should always be interpreted with age, symptoms, and menstrual history.

Follow these guidelines for accurate results
Sample Timing
Where possible, attend your blood test between 7am and 12pm. Please wait until any short-term illness or infection has fully resolved before testing. Avoid intense exercise for 24–48 hours beforehand, as this can affect certain markers.
Fasting & Hydration
Fasting is not always required, but some tests may recommend it. If fasting is advised, avoid food for 8–12 hours before your appointment and drink water only. Stay well hydrated, as this helps with sample collection and accuracy.
Medications & Supplements
Continue prescribed medications unless advised otherwise by your clinician. Avoid vitamin, mineral, or biotin supplements for at least 24–48 hours before your test, as these can interfere with results. If you are unsure about any medication or supplement, please let us know before your appointment.
Hormones & Menstrual Cycle
For hormone-related tests, timing within your menstrual cycle may be important. If relevant, follow any specific guidance provided on your test page.
If you have any questions or special circumstances, our team is happy to advise before your appointment.
