This test is suitable for you to do at home and measures the levels of F.S.H. in a sample of your urine (includes 2 tests).
High levels of F.S.H. can signal that your body is entering menopause.

As of July the 1st 2021 the rules on VAT for EU sales will be changing. For orders less than £135 (€150) we will display the total price inclusive of the VAT rate. For orders above this amount, you will not be charged VAT and you will be required to pay this when your goods arrive in your country. Read more on the new rules here.
Why do I need this test?
The hormone F.S.H. can be raised in women with irregular periods and will steadily rise as a woman gets older. As menopause approaches the levels get particularly high and act as an early warning system. With this test a negative result is going to be good news although its not proof of fertility. A positive test result suggests your fertility is reduced and we recommend that you see your doctor to discuss the results and perhaps have more tests done.
When do you use the Test ?
The first morning urine is recommended because it contains the highest levels of F.S.H. Testing at any other time of the day may give false negative test results.
How do you use the Test?
Precautions:
When to test
The test can be taken at any time during the month and then the second test should be taken 1 week later. We recommend that you test using first morning urine as it contains the most hormone and so will give a more accurate result.
Instructions
Results
Do not read the results after 10 minutes.
Positive
A pink/purple line in the circular window (test window) whose colour intensity is of equal or greater colour intensity (darker) than the line in the square window (control).
Negative
If only one coloured line appears in the square window (control) the result is negative. If a second band (the test band) appears below the first line, which is lighter than the first line, then the result is also negative.
Invalid
If no coloured lines appear in either window or a line appears in the test window but not the control band then the test is invalid and you should repeat using a new test.
What should I do with my results?
If the test result is positive, repeat the test one week later using the second dipstick to confirm the result. F.S.H. elevates for short periods in normal cycles but it is the extended elevation of F.S.H., which could indicate pre-menopausal state. If the second test is also positive you should make an appointment to visit your doctor.
A positive result means that F.S.H. levels are high, this can be an indicator of a pre-menopausal state and if symptoms such as irregular periods, hot flushes, mood swings, insomnia and fatigue exist, you should discuss your results and symptoms with your doctor.
A Negative Test result indicates that your F.S.H. levels are not raised. However, if you do have irregular periods or any menopause-like symptoms we still recommend you see your doctor.

It is estimated that although 90% of women know what ovulation is, there still is a lot of confusion on how this relates to their fertility. What is ovulation?

I found these tests very good. I used one of these tests by dipping it in first morning urine I collected in a pot as easier than trying to pee on the stick. Very clear result in time it stated and was clearer to read result than another test I bought from a high street shops. Definitely good value for money as a lot cheaper than high street brand and clearer results displayed. Would definitely buy again.

I’ve used these for the past year and find them very easy to use. As I’ve had a hysterectomy, leaving my ovaries in tact, it has been difficult to know if I am menopausal. These have helped me track my progress thru the perimenopause- and are so much cheaper than any I have found elsewhere! Good service from Home Health too.
