At a glance

Women's hormone blood test panels measure levels of key reproductive, adrenal, and pituitary hormones, including estradiol, total estrogen, estrone, FSH, LH, progesterone, prolactin, DHEA sulfate, pregnenolone, IGF-1, testosterone, and SHBG. They are designed for women tracking irregular cycles, fatigue, mood changes, sleep problems, or perimenopausal symptoms who want objective numbers to review with their doctor. Options range from a focused 3-test check to a comprehensive 10-test, 14-biomarker profile.

Best suited for

  • Women with irregular, skipped, or unpredictable menstrual cycles who want objective hormone data
  • Anyone tracking symptoms commonly associated with hormone shifts, fatigue, mood swings, sleep problems, hair thinning, or low libido
  • Women in perimenopause or menopause experiencing hot flashes or night sweats who want baseline numbers to discuss with their doctor
  • Those working with a clinician on fertility, ovulation timing, or markers associated with PCOS
  • Health-conscious women establishing a hormonal baseline before making lifestyle or care decisions with their doctor

Key biomarker ranges

Commonly used adult reference ranges for markers this panel measures, labs vary, so always interpret results against your lab's stated ranges and with your doctor.

Estradiol (pg/mL)

Adult female follicular-phase ranges shown; estradiol varies widely across the cycle and drops after menopause, so cycle timing is essential to interpretation.

Estradiol reference ranges (pg/mL)
ZoneRange
Low030 pg/mL
Follicular range30150 pg/mL
High150250 pg/mL
Total Testosterone (ng/dL)

Adult male ranges shown; commonly used reference ranges run roughly 300–1,000 ng/dL, with morning draws the standard since levels peak early in the day.

Total Testosterone reference ranges (ng/dL)

The importance of testing

Hormones regulate metabolism, growth, tissue function, sleep, and mood, and when levels drift, you often feel it before you can name it. Irregular or skipped periods, unexplained weight change around the abdomen and hips, persistent fatigue, mood swings, sleep problems, thinning hair, low libido, hot flashes, cycle-linked headaches, and skin or breast changes are all symptoms commonly associated with shifting hormone levels. Blood testing puts numbers behind those symptoms so the conversation with your doctor starts from data.

Each marker tells part of the story. Estradiol, total estrogen, and estrone reflect estrogenic activity across life stages, estradiol is the primary estrogen during reproductive years, while estrone becomes more significant after menopause. FSH and LH are the pituitary signals that drive the menstrual cycle and egg maturation, so their patterns are commonly reviewed in workups for menstrual irregularity and fertility. Progesterone tracks ovulation and is central to cycle regulation.

The adrenal and androgen side matters too. DHEA sulfate reflects adrenal gland function, pregnenolone sits upstream of both estrogens and androgens in the steroid pathway, and testosterone with SHBG influences bone strength, muscle mass, and libido, markers commonly reviewed in evaluations associated with PCOS. Prolactin and IGF-1 add a pituitary view, since elevated prolactin is associated with disrupted cycles and fertility.

Because hormone levels move with your cycle and life stage, trends matter more than any single reading. Testing at consistent cycle timing, retesting after lifestyle or therapy changes, and flagging out-of-range results for your doctor turns these panels into a practical tracking tool rather than a one-time snapshot.

Frequently asked questions

What hormones do these women's panels measure?

Depending on the tier, the panels measure DHEA sulfate, estradiol, total estrogen, estrone, FSH, LH, IGF-1, pregnenolone, progesterone, prolactin, SHBG, and total and free testosterone. The entry-level HH-1 panel covers three markers, while the most comprehensive options span 10 tests and 14 biomarkers across the estrogen, androgen, and pituitary pathways.

Which hormone panel should I choose?

Choose based on how complete a picture you want: HH-1 is a focused estrogen and adrenal check, HH-2 adds the pituitary signals FSH and LH, HH-3 adds progesterone, pregnenolone, and IGF-1, and HH-4 adds prolactin, SHBG, and testosterone for the fullest view. If you are tracking cycle irregularity or fertility-related markers, the tiers that include FSH, LH, and progesterone are the most informative starting points, and your doctor can help you match a panel to your symptoms.

Can I order these hormone tests without a doctor's visit?

Yes, the panels are ordered online directly through the partner's site and added to your cart like any other purchase, with no prior doctor's appointment required. You visit a local draw site for the blood sample and receive results privately, which you can then bring to your own clinician to interpret.

When in my cycle should I test my hormones?

Timing matters because estradiol, progesterone, FSH, and LH all shift across the menstrual cycle, so the same number can mean different things on different days. Many clinicians suggest consistent timing, often early in the cycle for baseline markers and mid-luteal for progesterone, and keeping timing consistent between tests makes your trend data far more useful. Confirm the best timing for your situation with your doctor.

Is this testing available in every US state?

No, direct-to-consumer lab testing is restricted or prohibited in New York, New Jersey, and Rhode Island, so residents of those states may be blocked at the partner's checkout. If you live elsewhere in the US, you can typically order online and schedule a blood draw at a nearby patient service center.

Do these tests confirm a hormonal condition?

No, these panels measure hormone levels and flag results outside reference ranges; they are not intended to confirm any condition on their own. Out-of-range values are a starting point for a conversation with your doctor, who can interpret them alongside your symptoms, cycle timing, and medical history.
