Hormone Testing
Clearer answers about your hormonal health
Targeted blood testing can provide valuable insight into hormones that influence energy, mood, sleep, metabolism, fertility and sexual health.

Hormonal changes can affect many areas of health, and the symptoms may overlap with stress, nutritional deficiencies or other conditions.
A suitable blood test provides measurable information that can be considered alongside your symptoms, medical history, medication and stage of life.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to fast before a hormone test?
Many hormone-only tests do not require fasting, but combined profiles may include markers that do. Follow the preparation instructions supplied for your chosen test.
Does the time of day matter?
Yes, for certain hormones. Testosterone and cortisol can vary during the day and may require a morning appointment.
When should female hormones be tested?
Timing depends on the marker and reason for testing. Some reproductive hormones are checked early in a cycle, while progesterone is normally assessed later.
When will I receive my results?
Turnaround varies by profile. Many routine results may be available within approximately 72 hours after laboratory processing, while specialist tests can take longer.
What happens if a result is outside the reference range?
Results should be considered alongside symptoms and medical history. Arrange an appropriate clinical review if follow-up is recommended.
