Frequently asked questions

Can I speak to a GP about my SHBG test results?

Yes. After reviewing your SHBG blood test results, you can schedule a GP consultation with one of our experienced clinicians. Appointments are available in-person or via video call (additional fees apply) to explain your report, answer questions, and discuss treatment options.

Do I need to fast before taking my SHBG home blood test?

You can do the test any time of day, but for consistent results we recommend collecting your sample in the morning and fasting for at least 8 hours. Avoid heavy exercise and alcohol 24 hours before testing. Always follow the kit instructions supplied.

How do I use the SHBG blood test kit at home?

Generally, you’ll receive your SHBG home blood test kit by mail. The kit contains everything you need—a TDL Tiny finger-prick collection device, lancets, instructions, and a prepaid return envelope. Follow the step-by-step guide to collect a small blood sample and post it back to the lab.

How long does it take to get my SHBG blood test results?

Most people get results within 3–5 working days after the lab receives your sample. You’ll get an email notification when your secure online report is ready. You can also book a GP follow-up appointment to discuss your results.

What does the SHBG home blood test measure?

Our SHBG home blood test kit measures the concentration of Sex Hormone Binding Globulin in your blood. High SHBG levels can reduce available sex hormones, while low levels can lead to excess free hormones. Your lab report will explain your result and any next steps.
