Hormone changes are more common than most people think. Stress, poor sleep, a new diet, stopping the pill or simply age can shift them, and you might notice it in your cycle, your skin, your hair, your weight or your mood. Because these changes can start in more than one place, this test checks the hormones made by your ovaries, adrenal glands and thyroid together, along with the signals your brain sends them. In one blood test, you get a clear picture of your hormones right now, with every value next to its reference range.

- Progesterone: Made mainly by the ovaries after ovulation, and in smaller amounts by the adrenal glands and the testes, progesterone prepares the lining of the womb and also plays a part in sleep, mood and the production of other hormones. Its level changes a lot through the menstrual cycle, so the day of the sample matters when reading the result.
- Estradiol (17-beta): The main form of oestrogen, made mostly by the ovaries and in smaller amounts by the testes and body fat. It keeps bones strong and plays a part in the menstrual cycle, skin, libido and sperm production, so both low and high levels can matter.
- Prolactin: Made by the pituitary gland at the base of the brain, prolactin is known for milk production after childbirth, but it is present in everyone and can slow down the hormones that control ovulation and testosterone. A high level can affect periods, libido and fertility, and stress, poor sleep, intense exercise and some medicines can raise it too.
- Total testosterone: The main androgen, made by the testes, the ovaries and the adrenal glands in different amounts. It plays a part in libido, muscle, bone, energy and mood, and a level outside the reference range can be linked to changes in hair, skin, fertility or the menstrual cycle.
- Androstenedione: A building block made by the adrenal glands, the ovaries and the testes, which the body turns into testosterone and oestrogen. Read next to testosterone, it helps show whether androgen production is raised even when testosterone itself looks normal.
- FSH: Sent from the pituitary gland, FSH tells the ovaries to grow follicles and the testes to make sperm. Its level shows how hard the brain is working to get a response, and it rises when the ovaries or testes respond less, as happens with age.
- LH: A pituitary hormone that triggers ovulation and tells the testes to make testosterone. Read next to FSH, it helps show whether a hormone change starts in the brain's signals or in the ovaries or testes themselves.
- TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone): The pituitary's message to the thyroid, rising when the thyroid is underactive and falling when it is overactive. The thyroid sets the pace for metabolism, energy, weight and mood, and it also affects the menstrual cycle and fertility.
- DHEA-S: An androgen made almost entirely by the adrenal glands, the small glands sitting on top of the kidneys. Read next to testosterone, it helps tell whether extra androgens come mainly from the adrenals or from the ovaries or testes.
