The Classic Hormone Test is the most comprehensive and accurate hormone test on the market. This at-home hormone test assesses your reproductive hormones oestrogen, progesterone and your androgens, along with their metabolites in order to gain a full picture of your hormone health.

The Classic Hormone Test can be done entirely from home and includes an online report, complete with your results and personalised healthplan.

How does the Classic Hormone Test work?

This test involves collecting four dried urine samples on paper strips, over a 24-hour period in your luteal phase or second half of your cycle. We test in your luteal phase to make sure we’re capturing progesterone at its peak.

You can collect your samples easily from home at the recommended times, then simply leave your strips to dry for 24 hours and post back to our partner lab using the mailer bag provided in your kit.

Once you have sent off your samples, our partner lab will analyse them and send us your results. Then our hormone experts will review your results, alongside your symptoms, and prepare your personalised report.

Who is this test for?

The Classic Hormone Test is useful for anyone experiencing symptoms with or around their period such as PMS, cramping, mood swings, tender breasts, acne or migraines. This is also a helpful test if you’re looking for quick insights into your fertility.

This hormone test can also be helpful if you are in perimenopause or menopause and are either on HRT or considering HRT. This is because it allows our hormone experts to assess which hormones you actually need, and whether you’re safely metabolising your oestrogen.

Relevant symptoms 

We recommend this test for any woman who is experiencing symptoms such as PMS, heavy or painful periods, unexplained weight gain, hot flushes, mood changes, acne, other symptoms of perimenopause or menopause or trouble with fertility.

What we test in the Classic Hormone Test

Our FUTURE WOMAN hormone tests are the most accurate and comprehensive hormone tests on the market, because they provide insights into not only your hormone production and hormone balance, but also your hormone metabolism. So often when we’re symptomatic, it can be because of poor hormone metabolism, rather than having too much or too little of a particular hormone.
