Take the guesswork out of your health. Starting with a blood test

We use Tasso blood test kits to collect your sample- a modern, pain-free way to draw blood safely and comfortably at home. The Tasso device (called an autodraw) gently collects your sample from your upper arm at the press of a button -no finger-pricking, no needles, and no fuss.

Your kit will arrive directly to your door, inside, you’ll find clear, step-by-step instructions and access to a short video guide showing exactly how to use the device. Most women tell us the process feels simple, quick, and surprisingly easy- it takes just a few minutes from start to finish.

If you’d like extra reassurance, our patient care team is always available via WhatsApp or phone to guide you through the process in real time.

Hormonal blood tests can be a really helpful tool in understanding what’s happening in your body at different stages of life.

If you’re under 40 and experiencing symptoms, testing can help identify conditions such as premature ovarian insufficiency (POI).

For women aged 40–45, blood tests can give useful insight into how your ovaries are working and help rule out other possible causes of your symptoms. Hormone levels naturally rise and fall, so there’s no single “perfect” day for testing. Instead, results are combined with your symptoms and medical history to guide the best next steps for you.

If you’re over 45, these tests are most useful for checking for common alternative causes of symptoms like tiredness or low mood, such as thyroid imbalance, low iron, vitamin D, or B vitamin deficiencies.

For women over 50 and post-menopause, testing remains valuable as a general health check, helping to identify nutritional deficiencies or thyroid issues that become more common with age, and measuring testosterone levels, which can affect energy and sex drive.

It’s important to remember that there’s no single ‘yes or no’ test for menopause, particularly after 40, but these blood tests can help bring clarity, rule out other causes, and guide a personalised care plan tailored to your needs. Your results will always be interpreted by an expert clinician, in the context of your health history and symptoms, to give you the confidence and reassurance you deserve on your menopause journey

Oestradiol: This hormone is the main form of oestrogen your body produces before menopause. If your levels of oestradiol are falling, it can cause symptoms like hot flushes, poor sleep, low mood and vaginal dryness.

FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone): This is a hormone that rises as the ovaries slow down. When tested, and considered alongside your symptoms, it can help indicate to doctors if you are in perimenopause or menopause. (there is no test that can diagnose perimenopause or menopause, but a baseline test can helprule out other issues causing your symptoms)

Testosterone: This is a hormone that is important for energy, mood and sexual wellbeing. Levels of testosterone can drop in midlife, and testing your testosterone helps your doctor to understand if your levels are where they should be.

SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin): This is a protein that carries hormones in the blood. It helps doctors see how much of your sex hormones, like testosterone, are actually available for your body to use. This can help explain symptoms such as low energy or reduced sex drive.
FAI (Free Androgen Index): This combines testosterone and SHBG results to show the amount of active testosterone available for your body to use.

Vitamin D: Vitamin D supports bone, muscle and immune health. Low levels are common, and can contribute to fatigue, aches and low mood.

Ferritin: This is a protein that helps doctors check your iron stores. Low levels of iron can cause fatigue and hair loss, while high levels can also signal health issues.

Vitamin B12 (Active): This vitamin is important for energy, brain function and nervous system health. Low levels of B12 can cause tiredness and low mood.

Folate (Vitamin B9): Works with B12 to support red blood cell production and energy metabolism. Low folate can lead to fatigue and weakness.

TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone): This test helps show how well your thyroid is working.

Free Thyroxine (Free T4): This test measures the main hormone made by the thyroid. Together with TSH, this checks for underactive or overactive thyroid, which can mimic menopause symptoms like fatigue, weight changes and low mood.

If you’ve already had a blood test with similar markers done via your own GP, or another clinic/provider our doctors are more than happy to review and use those results during an appointment. Book your appointment with our next available doctor here, we can help you make sense of your results. Our specialists can talk you through them and then use to help create your personalised treatment plan.

You’ll receive your results within 2–3 days, followed by your complimentary doctor appointment. During your appointment, your doctor will take the time to look at your results in the context of you — your age, your symptoms, and your personal story. Together, you’ll explore what your results mean and build a personalised treatment plan based on real data. This could include HRT, testosterone, or lifestyle recommendations to help ease and improve your symptoms.
