Feb 5, 2026
Female Hormone Blood Test
A female hormone blood test measures oestrogen, progesterone, FSH, LH, testosterone, and other key hormones—essential for investigating irregular periods, fertility problems, PCOS symptoms, and perimenopause. Hormone imbalances affect millions of women but are easily diagnosed with comprehensive testing.
At Blood Test London, female hormone testing costs from £245 with results in 2-3 days.
