FSH Menopause Test
GetTested’s FSH Menopause Test measures follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), a key biomarker of ovarian reserve and reproductive aging. Elevated FSH levels are closely linked to the transition to perimenopause and menopause, making the test useful for understanding symptoms such as hot flashes, irregular cycles, mood changes, or reduced fertility. By identifying hormonal shifts early, the test provides valuable insights into reproductive stage, fertility potential, and overall hormonal health.

FSH Menopause Test
The FSH Menopause Test from GetTested measures follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), a key biomarker of ovarian reserve and reproductive aging. For the most reliable results in women who are still menstruating, the test is usually recommended on day 3 of the menstrual cycle (the third day of bleeding). In women with irregular or absent cycles, the test can be taken at any time.
What is FSH?
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is produced by the pituitary gland and stimulates the growth of ovarian follicles in women. As ovarian reserve declines with age, FSH levels increase to compensate. Persistently elevated FSH is one of the main indicators of perimenopause and menopause.
Why measure FSH?
Testing FSH levels provides valuable insights into reproductive and hormonal health, especially during midlife. Elevated FSH may indicate:
- The onset of perimenopause or menopause
- Irregular or absent menstrual cycles
- Reduced ovarian reserve and fertility potential
- Hormonal imbalances affecting mood, energy, or sleep
- Possible causes of symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, or vaginal dryness
When is testing relevant?
The FSH Menopause Test may be recommended if you are experiencing symptoms of perimenopause or menopause, have irregular cycles, or want to better understand your reproductive stage. It may also be useful when evaluating fertility issues in younger women with irregular periods.
Key benefits of the FSH Menopause Test
- Measures an important hormone linked to menopause and reproductive aging
- Provides insights into symptoms such as hot flashes, irregular cycles, or fertility changes
- Useful for distinguishing between perimenopause, menopause, and other hormonal imbalances

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in Europe. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.

I found them to be professional and not too long a wait for results. Helpful with any after questions. Will be using them again if need be. I highly recommend them.
