Perimenopause & Menopause Blood Test in Crewe
Perimenopause and menopause are natural but significant transitions in a woman's life — and the hormonal changes that drive them can affect energy, mood, sleep, weight, and overall wellbeing in ways that are often difficult to pinpoint without testing.
At Easy Medical Centre in Crewe, our Perimenopause & Menopause Blood Test is a comprehensive private blood and urine test specifically designed for women experiencing or approaching menopause, covering 80+ datapoints across 14 key health categories — including female hormone levels (FSH, LH, oestradiol, progesterone, prolactin), thyroid function, cholesterol, diabetes markers, iron status, vitamin D, and full urinalysis.
Elevated FSH and low oestradiol levels are the primary indicators of perimenopause and menopause. Our test not only measures these markers but gives you a complete picture of how your hormonal changes are affecting your wider health — from bone density risk and cardiovascular health to thyroid function and nutritional status.
On the day of your appointment, our team will also measure your blood pressure, weight, height, and waist/hip circumference. You will receive a comprehensive, colour-coded Health Report — results are clearly flagged as optimal or abnormal — so you can understand your results and share them with a private consultant or your GP to discuss HRT or other treatment options.
Our partner laboratory is RCLS, UKAS Accredited Lab 9329. Results are available within 3–5 working days.

Who Is This Test For?
The Perimenopause & Menopause Blood Test is recommended for women who:
-
Are aged 40+ and experiencing irregular periods, hot flushes, night sweats, or mood changes
-
Want to confirm whether their symptoms are related to perimenopause or menopause
-
Are considering HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) and need a baseline hormone assessment
-
Have already been diagnosed with menopause and want to monitor their hormone levels over time
-
Are experiencing unexplained fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, or loss of libido
-
Want a more affordable alternative to the Advanced Well Woman Profile focused on menopausal markers
Perimenopause Test vs Advanced Well Woman Profile — What's the Difference?
Both tests cover female hormones, thyroid, cholesterol, and key health markers — but they serve different purposes.
The Perimenopause & Menopause Test (£199, 60 biomarkers) is specifically focused on the hormonal changes associated with perimenopause and menopause. It is the right choice if you are experiencing menopausal symptoms and want targeted insight into your hormone levels and their impact on your health.
The Advanced Well Woman Profile (£230, 66 biomarkers) is a broader full-body women's health check that includes additional markers — CA-125 ovarian cancer screening, extended hormone panel including Free Androgen Index, and a more detailed nutritional assessment. It is better suited for a comprehensive annual health check regardless of menopausal status.

Perimenopause & Menopause Test in Crewe — Your Questions Answered
What is the difference between perimenopause and menopause?
Perimenopause is the transitional phase leading up to menopause, typically beginning in a woman's 40s, during which hormone levels fluctuate and periods become irregular. Menopause is confirmed when a woman has not had a period for 12 consecutive months. Our blood test can help identify where you are in this transition through FSH, LH, and oestradiol levels.
Which hormone levels indicate perimenopause or menopause?
The key markers are elevated FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) and reduced oestradiol (oestrogen). In perimenopause, FSH begins to rise and oestradiol fluctuates. In menopause, FSH is consistently high and oestradiol is consistently low. Our test measures both, alongside LH, progesterone, prolactin, testosterone, and SHBG for a complete hormonal picture.
Can this test help me decide whether to take HRT?
Yes. Our Perimenopause & Menopause Blood Test provides the hormonal baseline data that private consultants and GPs commonly use when assessing suitability for HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy). We recommend sharing your results with your GP or a private menopause specialist for a personalised treatment discussion.
Do I need to fast before the perimenopause blood test?
Yes, fasting for up to 12 hours before your appointment is recommended for accurate glucose, cholesterol, and insulin readings. You can drink water normally. Some hormone markers may also be affected by food intake.
Does the timing of my cycle affect the results?
Yes. If you are still having periods, hormone levels vary significantly throughout your cycle. For the most accurate FSH and oestradiol readings, book your appointment on day 2–5 of your cycle. If your periods are irregular or have stopped, you can book at any time. Contact our team for guidance before booking.
How is the Perimenopause Test different from the Advanced Well Woman Profile?
The Perimenopause Test (£199, 60 biomarkers) is focused specifically on menopausal hormonal markers and their impact on wider health. The Advanced Well Woman Profile (£230, 66 biomarkers) is a broader full-body women's health check that additionally includes CA-125 ovarian cancer screening, the Free Androgen Index, and a more detailed nutritional panel.
