No. Many women choose to test before symptoms begin, to establish a baseline. This makes it easier to track changes over time and see what's shifting before anything feels wrong.

Yes. Tell us what you take when you fill in your questionnaire, and we read your results with that in mind. HRT and hormonal contraception change some hormone levels, so your report shows which markers they affect.

No, we use a venous blood draw. A trained nurse or phlebotomist takes a small sample from your arm, which usually takes a few minutes. You can visit one of our partner clinics, or have a phlebotomist come to you at home or work for a small additional charge.

Yes. Your test includes markers that need a fasted sample, so please don't eat for eight hours before your blood draw. You can drink water as normal. Most women find a morning appointment easiest.

If you are still having periods, yes. We usually suggest testing between day two and day 12 of your cycle, counting from the first day of your period, for the most meaningful hormone reading. If your cycle is irregular or has stopped, you can test any time. We will guide you when you book.

Within three working days of your sample reaching the lab. We will email you as soon as they are ready.

A full, personalised report. For every marker, your measurement, the range it sits in, and a plain-language explanation of what it means for your health and how it relates to perimenopause and menopause.

Yes. Your report is built to support a more informed conversation, and many women find it helps their GP understand their symptoms and tailor their approach.

Anything outside the expected range is a prompt to speak to your GP, who can interpret it alongside your full history, rather than a diagnosis in itself. And if a result ever needs urgent attention, we will let you know directly so you can act on it quickly.

The plan includes a test every six months, which gives you a clear line to follow over time. If you buy one test at a time, many women look to retest after a change, such as starting HRT.

No. We give you clinical-grade testing and clear information so you understand your own body. We do not diagnose, prescribe or treat. Our reports support your conversations with a doctor, they do not replace them.

We keep your data in the UK and Europe, encrypted and protected under UK GDPR. We use your health data to give you your results. Your data also goes into our research unless you switch it off, which you can do at any time in your account settings. Research is separate from the service, and we take off your name and contact details before we use any of your data for it. We never sell your data. You can read more in our privacy policy.

Only with the companies that help us deliver your test, such as the lab that analyses your sample and our payment provider, and each works under a contract with us. We have no research partners yet, and we'll tell you before that changes. We never sell your data. You can read more in our privacy policy.
