What's tested?

This test analyzes the level of 3 specific hormones, including AMH (anti-mullerian hormone), TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone), and fT4 (free thyroxine). AMH levels help women understand whether the symptoms they experience are due to the onset of menopause and TSH or fT4 levels serve as an indicator of an underlying thyroid condition.

AMH (Anti-mullerian hormone)

Known to be a stable marker for the assessment of ovarian reserve, AMH is also an excellent predictor for the timing of your FMP. AMH levels start to decline with age and are either too low or undetectable as you near menopause. Therefore, low levels of AMH can be strongly associated with perimenopause.

TSH (Thyroid-stimulating hormone)

TSH produced by the pituitary gland keeps a check on thyroid function. It is extremely useful in diagnosing various disorders related to the thyroid gland & its function. Extremely low levels of TSH point to an overactive thyroid, whereas high levels are associated with hypothyroidism

fT4 (Free Thyroxine)

fT4 is the main hormone produced by the thyroid gland. In contrast to TSH, low levels of fT4 indicate hypothyroidism, whereas high levels point toward hyperthyroidism. In cases where the symptoms of thyroid-related problems overlap with perimenopause, fT4 levels can work as a strong deciding factor

Is this right for me?

It is common for adult women nearing menopause to have age-related thyroid problems. In the majority of these cases, both menopause and thyroid-related issues present common symptoms, making it difficult to deliver an accurate diagnosis

Advancing Age

Women in their mid or late 40s start experiencing symptoms that mark their transition into menopause. This period is known as perimenopause, which eventually leads to FMP (Final menstrual period). Common symptoms faced during perimenopause include:
- Changes in the length & frequency of the menstrual cycle
- Abnormal uterine bleeding
- Unexplained weight gain
- Mood swings
- Low energy
- Hot flashes
- Night sweats
- Insomnia

The test can help confirm if you have entered perimenopause by looking at your hormonal profile.

Perimenopause is a time when women will start running out of eggs and will start experiencing lots of changes that result in the onset of menstrual irregularities and other symptoms. It is the transition period until a woman reaches menopause. Menopause is the point at which a woman has not had periods for at least 12 months. It's set apart by changes in the monthly cycle, alongside other physical and emotional side effects. The perimenopause time can last 2 to 10 years. Before you approach this stage, learn about perimenopausal symptoms, and preparing for the same might help to reduce the emotional and physical discomfort that comes with this transition.

This test is highly recommended for women aged between 40 and 52, who want to understand more about the fluctuations of their hormonal levels. Perimenopause test is also advised for women who are planning a family in their late 30s or early 40s. If you are experiencing some innate symptoms and want to rule out if you’re nearing menopause or if it is thyroid conditions as the symptoms are overlapping.

-Sudden onset of menstrual changes
-Mood swings
-Insomnia
-Unexplained weight gain
-Low energy or fatigue
-Temperature changes in the body(such as Hot flashes, night sweats, etc.)
-Digestive issues
-Feeling low or depressed for no apparent reason

AMH used as the main biomarkers to indicate whether you are transitioning towards menopause or if the symptoms you've been experiencing are associated with any thyroid condition. TSH and fT4 biomarker is used as an indicator for underlying thyroid conditions. This test can give you insights into the status of both conditions (Perimenopause and Thyroid) and thus, you will be successfully able to manage them effectively and improve your overall quality of life with the right treatment.

Just a simple finger prick, to collect a few drops of whole blood, is enough to identify your AMH, TSH, and fT4 levels. It is not necessary to fast or adjust your diet or lifestyle in any way prior to testing. We also do not recommend discontinuing any medication without contacting your physician first.

AMH is the main hormone if you are transitioning towards menopause as it is an excellent predictor of FMP (Final Menopause) or is it a thyroid condition as the symptoms are overlapping. So this test can give you insights into the status of both conditions and you will be able to manage the condition properly.

Female hormones, particularly the response hormones, have far-reaching effects on a woman’s wellbeing. They are essential not only to the reproductive system but also the nervous system, musculoskeletal system, digestive system, cardiovascular system, immune system, and metabolism (that’s quite a list!). So you can see why healthy hormones are important throughout a woman’s life not only when wanting to start a family. In addition, the rise and fall of the ovarian hormones progesterone and oestradiol can influence how you feel throughout your cycle. Understanding how your hormones fluctuate can therefore help you to put strategies in place so you can feel at your best throughout your cycle as well as protect your long-term health.

As with all our tests, we encourage you to share your results with your health care provider as he/she is the best fit to offer guidance on your health and hormone questions, as well as answer any questions you have concerning potential menopausal symptoms.
