Estrogen & progesterone Lab Test (3 items)

The Oestrogen & Progesterone Home Test Kit provides an in-depth look at your hormone levels and the balance between oestrogen and progesterone, two key hormones that play crucial roles in women’s health. Imbalances in these hormones are common and can lead to symptoms such as PMS, menstrual cramps, irregular periods, and tender breasts. By testing both oestrogen and progesterone, along with their ratio, this kit helps you identify potential hormonal imbalances, allowing for more targeted support.

For a more comprehensive hormone assessment, many choose to pair this test with a Cortisol Test, as cortisol can impact progesterone levels. We also offer a Women's Hormone Test, which includes oestrogen, progesterone, DHEA, testosterone, and cortisol, for a complete view of your hormonal health.

What Does the Oestrogen & Progesterone Test Measure?

This test measures the following hormones:

• Oestrogen (estradiol): The primary form of oestrogen responsible for many vital functions, including bone health and metabolism.
• Progesterone: A hormone essential for regulating menstruation and supporting pregnancy.
• Oestrogen/Progesterone Ratio: The balance between these two hormones is crucial for hormonal health.

Why Are Oestrogen and Progesterone Important?

Oestrogen is produced mainly in the ovaries and plays a significant role in many bodily functions. It supports bone mass, heart health, brain function, and immune response. It also controls fat distribution in women and plays a role in reproductive health. Low oestrogen levels can lead to symptoms such as low libido, mood swings, and weakened bones, while high oestrogen levels can cause water retention, breast tenderness, and irregular periods.

Progesterone is essential for regulating the menstrual cycle and maintaining pregnancy. It helps prepare the uterus for a fertilised egg and supports early pregnancy. Low progesterone levels can result in irregular periods, mood swings, and difficulty conceiving. During pregnancy, low progesterone can lead to complications like miscarriage or preterm labour.

Symptoms of Hormonal Imbalance

Hormonal imbalances can manifest in many ways. Common symptoms include:

• PMS
• Irregular or heavy periods

By measuring oestrogen and progesterone levels, this test helps to pinpoint the cause of these symptoms and guide appropriate treatment.
