Basic Female Hormone Profile Blood Test

Also Known As

Basic Female Hormone Panel

The Purpose of a Female Hormone Panel Blood Test

Hormones are essential for normal body function, so even a subtle imbalance can cause major shifts in your well-being. For anyone born female, a hormone imbalance can trigger symptoms such as:

• Elevated stress levels
• Mood swings
• Painful or irregular menstrual cycles
• Insomnia
• Weak or brittle bones
• Low libido
• Unwanted hair growth
• Acne
• Weight gain or loss
• Infertility

To live your best, most vibrant life, you need to monitor your hormone levels regularly. Female hormone testing can proactively spot issues so you can quickly find the treatment plan you need.

What Does the Female Hormone Profile Blood Test Measure?

This test monitors these major hormones:

• Estradiol, the most active form of estrogen, is critical for reproductive health.
• The thyroid is key for your physical and mental health because it helps regulate metabolism and brain function, among many other roles.
• Testosterone supports overall wellness by promoting strong bones, muscle mass, heart health, libido, and more.
• Luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) are produced in the pituitary gland and play a part in fertility, specifically with ovulation and menstruation.

Who Should Get Female Hormone Testing?

Hormone testing for women should be done regularly at any age, especially if you are suffering the symptoms associated with hormone imbalance or are struggling with infertility.

Basic Female Hormone Profile FAQ

What is included in the Basic Female Hormone Profile?

This panel is designed to provide a foundational look at the primary hormones governing a woman’s reproductive health and metabolism. The test measures five key biomarkers: Estradiol (an estrogen), Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH), Luteinizing Hormone (LH), Progesterone, and Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH). Together, these results help evaluate hormone balance, thyroid function, and can provide insights into menstrual irregularities or menopausal status.

What is the female hormone testing price for this profile?

The current hormone testing price for the Basic Female Hormone Profile is $139.00. This is a transparent, upfront cost that includes the physician’s order, the laboratory processing at one of our 2,000+ Labcorp partner locations, and your confidential digital results. By ordering this profile, you avoid the additional costs of an insurance co-pay or a separate doctor’s office consultation fee.

Why should I choose this specific female hormone test?

This test is an ideal starting point for women who want to establish a baseline for their hormonal health or those experiencing symptoms like fatigue, mood swings, or cycle changes. Unlike individual tests, this profile combines reproductive hormones with a TSH screening, as thyroid issues often mimic or exacerbate hormonal imbalances. It provides a comprehensive yet affordable overview that can be shared with your healthcare provider for further diagnosis.

How can I get a female hormone test near me without a doctor’s visit?

Personalabs makes it simple to take control of your health by providing the doctor’s order for you. Once you purchase the test online, you simply download the lab requisition form and take it to the Labcorp patient service center most convenient to you. Because we have thousands of locations nationwide, finding a lab nearby is easy, and you do not need to schedule a prior appointment with your primary care physician to get tested.

Do I need to fast before taking the Basic Female Hormone Profile?

Fasting is not required for this specific blood test. However, because hormone levels fluctuate throughout the day and throughout your menstrual cycle, many healthcare providers recommend having your blood drawn in the morning. If you are still menstruating, you may want to consult with your doctor regarding the best day of your cycle to test for the most meaningful results (often between days 3 and 5 or around day 21, depending on the goal of the test).

How long does it take to receive my hormone test results?

Once your blood is drawn at the lab, results are typically available within 2 to 10 business days. You will receive an email notification as soon as your results are ready, which you can then access through your secure, HIPAA-compliant Personalabs portal. Your results will show your levels alongside the standard reference ranges, making it easy to see if your hormones are within the expected limits for your age and stage of life.
