Oestradiol (oestrogen) and Testosterone
Hormonal levels fluctuate considerably during perimenopause and menopause, so blood tests do not always explain symptoms or determine treatment. However, in some circumstances they can provide useful additional information, particularly when considered alongside your symptoms, medical history and current hormone replacement therapy (HRT). These results will always be interpreted within the wider clinical context rather than in isolations. If you’re taking a contraceptive, these tests will not be accurate. These tests are best taken on day 3 of your cycle if you have one.
