Blood Test Pricing & Requests

For most women over 40, a blood test is not necessary to diagnose menopause. Instead, a clinician will evaluate your symptoms and medical history to determine whether you are perimenopausal or menopausal.

There is no single, definitive blood test for menopause in women over 40. Hormone levels fluctuate daily, meaning that a single test result does not reliably indicate whether you are in menopause.

While blood tests are not typically used to diagnose menopause, they can be helpful in certain situations, including:

• Ruling out other conditions - Symptoms of menopause can overlap with other health issues such as low iron, thyroid disorders, and vitamin D deficiency. Blood tests can help identify these alternative causes.
• Screening overall health - In some cases, a doctor may recommend blood tests to assess your broader health and confirm there are no underlying medical issues contributing to your symptoms.

• Purchase your blood test.
• A member of our team will contact you to find the nearest clinic.
• We will book you into the most convenient clinic for you.

We partner with Randox and Goodbody, TDL and Medichecks.

We can arrange for a nurse to visit your home for an additional £70 fee. A member of our patient care team can assist in booking this service.

Our patient care team will ensure that any blood tests ordered through us are recorded in your patient file for your doctor to review before your follow-up appointment.

If you are interested in ordering a blood test with us, but you are not a patient, please email info@menopausecare.co.uk.

• You can request your GP takes your bloods for you but they are not under any obligation to do so, it is a favour rather than an expectation. In addition, they may not have access to all the bloods, particularly SHBG.
• You will need to take responsibility for having them done in good time for your appointment and for the results to be sent to us.
• We send all details of the bloods required in the clinic letter. Should your GP request this information please direct them to the clinic letter which you and they will have a copy of.

Most private clinics will not allow patients to have bloods done outside of their own clinic due to additional administrative work.

• We do allow this because we try to make our service accessible to as many women as possible but we cannot take responsibility for accessing results for bloods not generated by us.
