LAUNCHING SOON · Our menopause and HRT service opens later this year, UK-wide — no payment, no obligation.
PRIVATE MENOPAUSE CLINIC & HRT · UK-WIDE
Your symptoms decide this.
Not a blood test.
Hot flushes, broken sleep, brain fog, a mood you don't recognise. For most women over 45, menopause is diagnosed from how you feel — not a number. We listen properly, explain what's happening, and tell you honestly whether HRT is right for you.
No hormone tests you don't need. Nothing monthly until you're on treatment.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Over 45? You don't need a hormone test.
NICE guidance: perimenopause and menopause are diagnosed from your symptoms alone.

WHEN A BLOOD TEST HELPS
Do you need a blood test for menopause? It depends on your age.
During perimenopause hormone levels swing from day to day, so a single result can’t confirm or rule out the menopause. These age bands come from the NICE menopause guideline (NG23).
Under 40
Testing is needed
Two FSH blood tests, 4 to 6 weeks apart, to check for premature ovarian insufficiency.
40 to 45
A test may help
An FSH level can be considered alongside your symptoms, particularly if your periods have changed.
Over 45
No hormone test needed
With typical symptoms, perimenopause and menopause are diagnosed from your symptoms.
IN PLAIN ENGLISH
What is the menopause — and perimenopause?
“Menopause is a normal stage of life, not an illness. But the symptoms are real, they can last for years — and they are treatable.”
Menopause is when your periods stop for good, because the ovaries have stopped releasing eggs and making most of their oestrogen. The average age in the UK is 51. The main medical treatment for menopause symptoms is hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
No unnecessary hormone tests
If you’re over 45 with typical symptoms, NICE guidance says you don’t need a hormone test to be diagnosed. We’d rather spend that time listening to you.
Perimenopause is the run-up — often several years — when hormone levels rise and fall unpredictably. Symptoms usually start here, while you are still having periods.
Menopause before 45 is called early menopause, and before 40 premature ovarian insufficiency. Both are assessed differently, and treatment is usually recommended at least until the natural age of menopause, to protect your bones and heart.
WHO THIS IS FOR
01
Hot flushes and night sweats
02
Poor sleep, and waking up exhausted
Common menopause symptoms
Easy to put down to stress, a busy life or getting older. These are the ones that most often turn out to be hormonal.
03
Brain fog, forgetfulness, losing words
04
Low mood, anxiety or irritability
You don't need all of these. One or two that are affecting your life is reason enough to talk to a clinician.
05
Periods changing — heavier, lighter or irregular
06
Joint and muscle aches
07
Vaginal dryness or needing to pass urine more often
08
Reduced sex drive
BEING STRAIGHT WITH YOU
When HRT isn't the right treatment
For most women, the benefits of HRT outweigh the risks. Not for everyone — and we'll tell you when. If that's what we find, you get a clear explanation and a route forward: a non-hormonal option, a referral, or a letter to your GP.
We won't start HRT if:
You have unexplained vaginal bleeding — that needs investigating first, and we'll make sure it is.
You have, or have had, breast cancer or another hormone-sensitive cancer — that decision belongs with your specialist team.
You have a current blood clot, active liver disease, or could be pregnant. Some women with past clots or migraine can still have HRT in a form that suits them, with the right advice.
Something else explains it — thyroid problems, iron deficiency, diabetes, depression and some medicines cause many of the same symptoms.
A REAL CLINIC, A REAL PERSON
Online menopause care, with a real clinic behind it
We’re a diagnostics clinic first — when you do need a test, it’s taken properly, by a professional, and every result is reviewed by a clinician.
Every patient gets WhatsApp access to our clinic team during opening hours — for results, appointments, or something you noticed. If it needs the clinician, we pass it on and come back to you.
It isn't an emergency line. Anything urgent goes to NHS 111 or 999.

Morning — my 3 month review is on the 14th. Do I need a blood test before it?
09:12 ✓✓
Not usually for HRT — just the short symptom update we'll send beforehand. I'll note it on your appointment.
09:20
Thanks. I've also had some spotting this month, four months in. Is that normal?
09:22 ✓✓
Thank you for telling us — that's worth a proper look. I'll pass it to the clinician today and we'll call you back.

THE PATHWAY
How our menopause and HRT service works
Each one is a decision point. You can stop at any of them, and many women have the answer they need before step four.
1
Symptom and health review
A structured online questionnaire about your symptoms, your periods and your health, plus your history of clots, breast cancer, heart disease and stroke — which decides which treatments are safe for you.
ANYWHERE IN THE UK · NO KIT, NO POST · 15 MINUTES AT HOME
2
Blood tests — only where they help
Under 45, FSH supports the diagnosis. For anyone, thyroid, full blood count, ferritin, HbA1c, liver, kidney and cholesterol can rule other causes in or out. Taken from a vein at a clinic near you — and not repeated if you’ve had them recently.
CLINIC NEAR YOU · ONLY IF CLINICALLY USEFUL
3
Consultation with the clinician
Your symptoms, history and any results, gone through properly — in the room at Crewe, or by video wherever you are. It may or may not lead to a prescription; that decision is made together.
IN PERSON OR BY VIDEO · 45 MINUTES · CLINIC LETTER FOR YOU AND YOUR GP

Treatment, if it’s appropriate
If HRT is clinically appropriate, your clinician explains the options and the benefits and risks for you, including protecting the womb if you have one. Dispensed and posted by our partner pharmacy, and charged by us when your prescription is issued. HRT is not contraception, so we’ll make sure that’s covered too.
ONLY IF CLINICALLY INDICATED · PRESCRIBED, NOT SOLD
5
Reviews at 3 months, then every year
We look at your symptoms, bleeding pattern, blood pressure and side effects, and adjust the dose, type or route on the evidence. Most HRT doesn’t need routine blood tests — we test when there’s a reason.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Written in line with NICE guideline NG23: Menopause · Last updated October 2026
This page describes a medical service. It isn’t advice about any specific medicine and doesn’t recommend one. Any treatment decision is made by the prescribing clinician together with you, based on your symptoms, history and results.
Over 45, perimenopause and menopause are diagnosed from your symptoms; under 45, blood tests may form part of the assessment. WhatsApp is for non-urgent questions during clinic hours only. We are not an emergency service — for chest pain, severe breathlessness or thoughts of harming yourself, contact 999 or NHS 111 immediately.
The monthly plan covers clinical care. Medication is dispensed against a private prescription by our registered partner pharmacy, and we charge you for it at the time of prescription. Details left in the interest form are used only to contact you about this service.
