AWARD WINNING UK TESTING AS SEEN IN
The Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) Blood Test is an essential tool for individuals undergoing or considering hormone replacement therapy. It provides a comprehensive overview of your hormone levels, helping to inform the appropriate dosage of hormone medication and monitor its effectiveness.
HRT Blood Test typically assesses key hormones such as:
Oestradiol: This is a form of estrogen, a female sex hormone that is often prescribed in HRT for managing symptoms of menopause.
Progesterone: This hormone is also involved in female reproductive functions and is often prescribed alongside estrogen in HRT to protect the lining of the uterus.
Testosterone: Though typically seen as a male hormone, testosterone is also present in women and can play a role in sexual health and wellbeing.
FSH and LH: Follicle Stimulating Hormone and Luteinizing Hormone are important for managing reproductive health and are often measured to give a broader view of a person's hormonal profile.
Our HRT Blood Test kit comes with everything you need to collect a blood sample from the comfort of your own home. Detailed instructions guide you through the process for an easy and effective sample collection. Once you have collected your sample, send it to our accredited laboratory using the provided pre-paid envelope.
Upon analysis, you will receive a detailed report with your hormone levels and an interpretation of your results. This information can assist you and your healthcare provider in making informed decisions about your hormone replacement therapy.
By taking the HRT Blood Test, you are taking a proactive step towards understanding and managing your hormonal health.

Luteinising Hormone (LH)
Luteinising Hormone (LH) is made by your pituitary gland and plays a vital role in healthy sexual function. In women, LH helps to regulate the menstrual cycle and ovulation. It is also critical when triggering the release of the eggs from the ovaries, and Luteinising Hormone levels increase significantly before ovulation. LH is essential when checking female fertility levels, as imbalanced LH levels can cause fertility issues in the long run.
Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) is made in the pituitary glands and plays an essential role in sexual functioning. FSH is one of the gonadotropic hormones, the other being LH. FSH helps regulate the women's ovaries and stimulates the growth of ovarian follicles. FSH is also involved in oestradiol products. For this reason, FSH is part of Welzo's cutting edge female fertility home test due to its vital role in healthy female sexual function.
Oestradiol (Oestrogen)
Oestradiol is a steroid hormone belonging to the oestrogen family, being the strongest of the three oestrogen related hormones. Its primary purpose in women is to maintain and regulate the female reproductive chain. Therefore it is vital to measure oestradiol levels when evaluating female fertility levels.
Progesterone
Progesterone is a hormone that plays an important role in the menstrual cycle and pregnancy. It helps to thicken the uterus lining, which is necessary for the implantation of the fertilised egg. Progesterone also helps to maintain the pregnancy by preventing contractions of the uterine muscles. Therefore its analysis is essential when testing female fertility levels.
Additional Information
What is a female fertility test?
Female fertility testing is a way to measure the chance of a woman getting pregnant. There are multiple ways to test female fertility. The most common tests are: hormone testing, ovulation testing, and ultrasound.
Hormone testing can be done with a blood test or a saliva test. Blood tests measure the levels of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and oestradiol (E2). Saliva tests measure the levels of progesterone. Ovulation tests measure the levels of LH in urine. The most common ovulation tests are strips that are dipped in urine. Ovulation predictor kits (OPKs) are similar to pregnancy tests and measure the level of LH in urine. Ultrasound is a common fertility test for women. An ultrasound can be used to measure the thickness of the uterine lining, to look for blockages in the fallopian tubes, or to check the ovaries for cysts.
When trying to conceive, it is important to have regular fertility testing done. This will help to identify any potential fertility problems and to find the best treatment options.
Female Fertility Statistics
It is estimated that about 15% of couples in the United Kingdom have difficulty conceiving. The majority of these couples will eventually succeed in getting pregnant, often after trying for several months or years.
