The value
Why it's worth knowing
The complete perimenopause and menopause hormone read
FSH, LH, oestradiol, progesterone, AMH, testosterone with SHBG, DHEAS, full thyroid and cortisol. The hormones that shift through perimenopause, all measured together.
For symptoms that started without warning
Sleep disruption, mood changes, brain fog, weight gain, hot flushes or irregular cycles starting in your late 30s or 40s. The hormonal explanation behind it.
Catches perimenopause early, often before periods change
Hormone fluctuations begin years before cycles become obviously irregular. The panel reveals where you sit on the perimenopause spectrum, often earlier than expected.
Investigates if HRT or hormone therapy is worth considering
Before deciding about hormone replacement therapy, knowing your baseline hormone levels is essential. The panel provides the data informed decisions require.
Tracks thyroid and cortisol alongside reproductive hormones
Thyroid and adrenal issues mimic perimenopause symptoms. Testing all three systems together reveals what is actually driving how you feel.

FAQs
Common questions
Everything you need to know before you order.
Through your GP, blood tests are typically only covered by Medicare when they're medically warranted. Medicare covers testing because a condition justifies it, not because you want to be proactive or just want to know certain things. You can't just walk in and ask for a panel of biomarkers because you're curious or want a baseline. Your doctor decides which markers get tested, and that list is usually limited.
MediTests is for people who want to take a proactive approach to their health. Deep insights, a personal baseline, and the exact markers you want to track over time. You're in full control. It's your data. No condition required, no waiting room, no eligibility hurdles.
You can get any test you want, with over 300 blood tests across 16 categories. We never refuse a blood test.
You also get your original lab report back in 24 to 48 hours, sent straight to your inbox. No follow-up consult, no appointment to book, and nothing linked to My Health Record or Medicare. Completely private.
Same NATA-accredited labs GPs and hospitals use. Same accuracy. None of the waiting.
No GP consult or telehealth appointment needed. We instantly generate your pathology request form and send it directly to your inbox after checkout.
If you would like one, we also offer private doctor consultations as an optional extra, for people who want private blood test results and a private consult to discuss them.

Most tests need no fasting at all. Some markers, like fasting glucose, fasting insulin and certain cholesterol panels, give the most accurate reading after fasting. If your test needs it, it's stated on the product page and on your pathology request form. Water is always fine.
No, never. Nothing is linked to My Health Record or Medicare. Your results are completely private and confidential: they're sent securely to your email, and only you decide who sees them. Many of our customers choose MediTests for exactly this reason, and we take that privacy seriously.
100%. We partner with NATA-accredited Australian laboratories, the same trusted labs used by hospitals and GPs across the country. Every result is processed to the same clinical standards as your local pathology centre.
Never. The price you see includes everything: your pathology request form, testing, processing and results. No surprises.
The most common reason is that something feels off but a standard GP panel hasn't turned anything up. Fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, low mood, poor recovery, irregular cycles and low libido all have measurable biological causes that a targeted panel can identify.
You don't need symptoms to benefit from testing. Proactive testing establishes your personal baseline, catches risk factors before they cause harm, and helps you understand whether diet, training or lifestyle changes are actually working.
Yes, absolutely. You can build your own panel by choosing from our wide range of individual tests. Whether you're checking one thing or a combination of markers, you're in control of what you get tested for. Visit our Create Your Own Test page to start building.
Questions about the Menopause & Perimenopause Panel
Extra answers specific to this test.
It measures 13 biomarkers: FSH, LH, oestradiol, progesterone, AMH, total and free testosterone, SHBG, DHEAS, TSH, free T3, free T4 and cortisol. Thyroid function and cortisol are included because both affect the same picture the reproductive hormones describe, and they are the things most often checked alongside them.
No. None of these need a fasting sample, so you can be collected whenever suits you. Water is fine and there is no preparation to do beforehand. A morning collection suits cortisol, which reads highest earlier in the day, and if you are still cycling the day you collect on affects how oestradiol, LH, FSH and progesterone are read.
This test covers the hormones relevant to the menopause transition, including AMH and cortisol, and stays on that. The Women’s Hormone & Metabolic Health Check covers a smaller hormone set and adds thyroid antibodies, fasting insulin, fasting glucose, HOMA-IR, iron studies, a full blood count and nutrients, which makes it a broader metabolic picture rather than a hormone focused one. Results from either are best read alongside your own history and cycle pattern.

A very positive experience
I booked a blood test because my health insurance did not cover GP consultations. The referral form was emailed to me immediately, I walked into a collection centre the next morning and my results arrived the very next day. One result showed an elevated TSH level and because I was pregnant, a doctor from their Sydney office personally called me to talk it through. It made me feel they genuinely cared.

Could not have been better
I've been in remission from Graves Disease for a few years and suddenly had symptoms again. It was easy to choose and purchase the test I needed at a reasonable price and set up the appointment online for the next day. The lab tech was friendly and put me entirely at ease, and the results were delivered electronically within a day or two. Could not have been better.

Menopause & Perimenopause Panel
The Menopause & Perimenopause Panel is a menopause blood test built to help women understand the changes happening in the lead-up to and through menopause. Perimenopause can bring shifting cycles, disrupted sleep, mood changes, hot flushes and weight changes, often years before periods stop, and this panel measures the hormones behind those shifts.
It measures FSH and LH (which rise as the ovaries wind down), oestradiol and progesterone, AMH (which reflects ovarian reserve), testosterone, free testosterone, SHBG and DHEAS, plus a thyroid panel (TSH, FT3, FT4) and cortisol, since thyroid and stress symptoms often overlap with menopause. Looking at these together gives a much clearer picture than a single hormone reading, particularly during perimenopause when levels fluctuate.
The Menopause & Perimenopause Panel needs no GP referral and no appointment, so you can get your blood test online and walk into any of 3,300+ collection centres across Australia, with results in 24 to 48 hours. For more on menopause and perimenopause, Jean Hailes for Women’s Health is an excellent Australian reference.
What we test for
FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone)
The single most diagnostic marker for menopausal transition. As ovarian function declines, the pituitary gland produces more FSH in an attempt to stimulate the ovaries. A persistently elevated FSH is the clearest hormonal indicator that perimenopause or menopause is underway.
LH (Luteinising Hormone)
Works alongside FSH to regulate the menstrual cycle and ovulation. Rises during the menopausal transition alongside FSH. The FSH/LH ratio provides additional context around where a woman sits in the transition.
Oestradiol (E2)
The primary form of oestrogen produced by the ovaries. Fluctuates unpredictably in perimenopause before declining in menopause. Low oestradiol is associated with hot flushes, vaginal dryness, poor sleep, mood instability and accelerated bone loss.
Progesterone
Often the first hormone to decline in perimenopause, before oestrogen drops significantly. Low progesterone causes irregular cycles, sleep disruption, anxiety and heavy periods — symptoms frequently attributed to stress rather than hormonal change.
AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone)
A direct marker of ovarian reserve — how many eggs remain. Declines steadily from the mid-30s and reaches very low levels in perimenopause. Useful for understanding where a woman sits in her reproductive timeline and how close to menopause she may be.
Testosterone (Total & Free)
Often overlooked in women’s hormonal health, testosterone plays an important role in libido, energy, mood, muscle mass and cognitive clarity. Declines gradually from the 30s onwards and falls further during the menopausal transition.
SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin)
A protein that binds to sex hormones and affects how much is biologically active. Elevated SHBG can reduce the amount of free testosterone and oestrogen available to tissues, worsening hormonal symptoms even when total hormone levels appear adequate.
DHEAS
A precursor hormone produced by the adrenal glands that converts to oestrogen and testosterone in peripheral tissues. Declines with age and plays a supporting role in energy, mood, immune function and hormonal balance — particularly relevant as ovarian production declines.
TSH, Free T3 & Free T4
Thyroid dysfunction is common in women over 40 and produces symptoms — fatigue, weight gain, mood changes, brain fog, irregular periods — that are nearly identical to perimenopause. Testing thyroid function alongside reproductive hormones is essential to distinguish between the two or identify when both are contributing.
Cortisol
Chronic stress and elevated cortisol directly suppress oestrogen and progesterone production and worsen sleep disruption, weight gain and mood instability during the menopausal transition. Cortisol also rises when oestrogen falls, creating a feedback loop that amplifies symptoms.
