Struggling With Irregular Periods or Fertility? Here’s How a Female Hormone Home Blood Test Can Help

What Causes Irregular Periods in Women?

While many UK women experience monthly cycles without issue, as many as one in three report problems like missed periods, very light or heavy bleeding, or unpredictable cycles. These changes often signal a hormone imbalance, but can sometimes point to underlying conditions such as PCOS, thyroid disorders, or early menopause.

Is My Fertility Affected By My Hormones?

Yes—your reproductive hormones regulate ovulation and monthly cycles, both of which are key for conception. Conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) can disrupt these processes and make it harder for you to fall pregnant. Often, symptoms like excess facial hair, weight changes, or acne accompany these cycle issues.

What Can a Female Hormone Blood Test Reveal?

• Levels of hormones like LH, FSH, oestrogen, and progesterone
• Potential markers for PCOS or premature menopause
• Insight into when you're ovulating—or if you’re ovulating at all

A female hormone profile home blood test is a convenient way to start investigating these issues, giving you actionable results quickly, right at home.

What Should I Do If My Cycles Are Irregular?

• Keep a diary of your periods and symptoms
• Maintain a healthy weight through balanced diet and regular activity
• Limit smoking and alcohol, which can disrupt hormones
• Manage stress—chronic stress can throw off your cycle
