Why take this test?
How to plan your test
With female hormones, timing decides how much the result can tell you.
Irregular and absent bleeding is part of the transition, so for this test you do not need to wait for a particular cycle day. What is not part of it: very heavy or very long bleeding, and any bleeding after more than twelve bleed-free months. These need gynaecological assessment first. If you have not had your period for more than three months or your cycle is too irregular to determine the cycle days 2-5, timing does not matter. Please come to the lab on any morning between 8 and 10 a.m.
If you still have a reasonably regular cycle, timing does matter: the draw between day 2 and day 5 of your cycle, likewise in the morning between 8 and 10 a.m.
Count the cycle day from the first day of a true period, not from spotting. In the transition especially, the difference is often unclear; when in doubt, get in touch. In both cases: rest briefly before the draw. Prolactin reacts sensitively to stress, exercise and stimulation. If you take biotin, stop it 3 days beforehand.
How your hormone test works

The blood draw takes around 10 minutes. No separate doctor's appointment needed.

Step 3
Specialist hormone consultation
45 minutes 1:1 by video with a specialist in gynaecology who focuses on female hormones and reproductive medicine. You leave the consultation with an interpretation and concrete next steps, not with a lab printout.

Step 4
Your results, always medically interpreted
Only after the consultation are your results released in the care App, reviewed by our medical team, with an explanation of every biomarker and a written report to keep and to share. So you never receive raw numbers before someone has put them in context for you.
The 11 biomarkers we measure
Eleven values that together show where you stand in the transition – with or without a regular cycle.
Perimenopause
11
Biomarkers
Estradiol (Early Follicular)
The principal female sex hormone. It drives the build-up of the uterine lining, triggers ovulation via the LH surge, and acts on bone and blood vessels.
Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
Regulates the growth of the ovarian follicles and the production of sex hormones.
Luteinizing Hormone (LH)
Triggers ovulation, regulates androgen production in the ovary and maintains the corpus luteum. Its ratio to FSH provides an additional clue.
Prolactin
A hormone of the pituitary gland. Elevated levels can suppress ovulation and cause cycle disturbances or absent periods.
TSH
The control hormone of the thyroid. Influences cycle, energy, weight and mood.
DHEA-S
An androgen precursor from the adrenal gland. Shows whether elevated androgens originate in the adrenal glands rather than the ovaries. Reference ranges depend strongly on age.
Total Testosterone
The principal androgen in women. Acts on muscle, bone, skin, hair growth and libido.
Free Testosterone
The freely active portion of testosterone, calculated from total testosterone, SHBG and albumin. More informative than the total value alone.
SHBG
The transport protein for sex hormones. It determines how much testosterone and oestradiol is freely active. Low levels are regarded as a sign of insulin resistance.
Albumin
The second transport protein. Needed to calculate free, active testosterone correctly.
Progesterone
Produced after ovulation, and usually the first to give way during the transition. With a cycle, it identifies your cycle phase and thereby makes FSH and oestradiol cleanly interpretable; without regular bleeding, a low value can show that ovulation has become rare. Either way: the baseline for every later comparison.

Specialist hormone advice
Female hormones are a discipline in their own right. Gynaecology covers a broad spectrum, from preventive care through pregnancy and birth to surgery. Gynaecological endocrinology is the narrow field within it, and comparatively few practitioners pursue it in depth.
This is precisely where our gynaecologists at care concentrate. They work with female hormones every day and train in the field on an ongoing basis, across cycle health, fertility, perimenopause and PMOS.
