Component Index

What Is Included?

This profile provides a comprehensive evaluation of reproductive hormones and thyroid activity to accurately map your menopausal transition.

Ovarian Hormone Production

Measures the primary female sex hormone produced by the ovaries to evaluate reproductive function and menopausal status.

Estradiol (E2)
Clinical focus:
Estradiol decreases significantly during menopause, leading to common symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness.

Pituitary Gonadotropins

Evaluates the hormones produced by the brain that stimulate ovarian function, serving as critical markers for the onset of menopause.

Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
Luteinizing Hormone (LH)
Clinical focus:
Both FSH and LH levels typically rise significantly in response to declining ovarian function and lower estradiol levels.

Thyroid Function

Assesses the thyroid gland’s activity to ensure metabolic health is not causing overlapping symptoms.

Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
Clinical focus:
Helps accurately identify or rule out underlying thyroid conditions (hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism) that can closely mimic menopause.

Understanding Menopause and Hormonal Shifts

During the menopausal transition, the ovaries gradually decrease their production of Estradiol (E2). In response, the brain releases higher levels of FSH and LH to try and stimulate the ovaries. Testing these specific hormones together provides a definitive view of menopausal status. Additionally, because symptoms like fatigue, weight changes, mood swings, and temperature dysregulation overlap heavily with thyroid issues, TSH is included to ensure a comprehensive and accurate evaluation.

How To Read Your Laboratory Results

Your results will list your values alongside standard reference ranges designed for different lifecycle stages. If a result indicates menopausal transition, it is noted for review. Important: A single out-of-range value does not automatically indicate a medical problem. Results must be assessed in conjunction with your specific symptoms and medical history.

Results Timeline: Profile metrics are typically available within just 4 hours. Once your results are ready, they will be securely shared with you.

Most Searched Online Questions About Menopause

What are the first signs of menopause?
Irregular periods, hot flashes, night sweats, and unexpected mood changes are typically the most common early indicators of hormonal shifting.
What is the difference between perimenopause and menopause?
Perimenopause is the transitional phase leading up to menopause characterized by fluctuating hormones, while menopause is officially reached after 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period.
Why is the thyroid tested during menopause?
Thyroid disorders, such as hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, can present symptoms (like fatigue and temperature sensitivity) that closely mimic menopause, making it important to test TSH alongside hormones.
What does a high FSH level mean?
A significantly elevated Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) level, particularly when combined with persistently low estradiol, is a strong indicator of declining ovarian function and menopause.
At what age does menopause usually start?
The average age for menopause in the UK is 51, though transition symptoms can naturally begin several years earlier during the perimenopausal phase.
