Menopause Blood Test
Feb 9, 2026
Menopause Blood Test
A menopause blood test measures FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) and oestradiol to help assess menopausal status—though in women over 45 with typical symptoms, diagnosis is usually clinical without requiring blood tests. Testing is most useful for women under 45 experiencing symptoms, or when the diagnosis is unclear.
At Blood Test London, menopause hormone testing costs from £245 with results in 2-3 days.
What Does a Menopause Test Measure?
Hormone | What Happens in Menopause |
|---|---|
FSH | Rises (>30 IU/L typically indicates menopause) |
Oestradiol | Falls (below 100 pmol/L) |
LH | Rises |
AMH | Very low or undetectable |
Important Notes
Hormone levels fluctuate during perimenopause, so single tests may be misleading
Age + symptoms are often more reliable than blood tests
Testing is most useful when diagnosis is uncertain
