Female Comprehensive Hormone Profile I – Blood Spot Test (8 Hormones + SHBG)
Test ID: B-242 | At-Home Blood Spot Collection | Results in 3–5 Working Days
The Female Comprehensive Hormone Profile I is a clinically advanced, at-home blood spot hormone test designed specifically for women. It measures eight key hormones using highly accurate LC-MS/MS technology through our CLIA-certified partner laboratory, ZRT Laboratory. Whether you're experiencing symptoms of perimenopause, menopause, PMS, fertility concerns, or general hormonal imbalance, this test gives you the data you need to understand your body and take control of your health.
What Does This Test Measure?
This panel tests the following eight essential hormones in women:
- Estrone (E1) – a post-menopausal oestrogen; elevated levels may indicate oestrogen dominance
- Estradiol (E2) – the primary reproductive oestrogen; key for cycle regulation, bone density, and mood
- Estriol (E3) – a weaker oestrogen that helps assess overall oestrogen balance, especially during perimenopause
- Progesterone (Pg) – essential for cycle balance, fertility, and counteracting oestrogen dominance
- Testosterone (T) – important for libido, energy, and muscle tone in women
- DHEA-S (DS) – an adrenal hormone that declines with age; linked to vitality, mood, and immune function
- Cortisol (C) – the stress hormone; chronically elevated cortisol disrupts oestrogen and progesterone balance
- Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) – determines how much oestrogen and testosterone is biologically available
Who Is This Test For?
This test is ideal for women who are experiencing one or more of the following symptoms of hormonal imbalance:

Why Test Your Hormones as a Woman?
Female hormonal health is rarely a single-hormone issue. Oestrogen, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol, DHEA-S, and SHBG all interact in a complex system — much like instruments in an orchestra. When one is out of balance, the entire system is affected. A comprehensive hormone profile gives you a full picture rather than a single data point, enabling more informed conversations with your GP or specialist.
Hormonal imbalance in women is often misdiagnosed or dismissed. Symptoms like fatigue, low mood, weight gain, and irregular cycles are frequently attributed to stress or lifestyle when the root cause may be hormonal. This test helps identify whether hormones are contributing to your symptoms.
