Product Information

In this guide, you will learn more about the best tests for menopause, how to identify if you are in this transition period, the symptoms associated with this transition, and how to use your lab tests to help you with treatment options. FSH (Follicle stimulating hormone)– During menopause FSH will INCREASE. An FSH of 40 IU/L or higher is a strong marker for menopause (9). Sex hormone binding globulin(7) – Sex hormone binding globulin is a hormone that binds to testosterone. High levels of SHBG can help you understand what is happening to other hormones in your body. SHBG increases/decreases in response to estrogen which makes it an important part of hormone testing.

The symptoms of menopause can be vague and differ from person to person, so using a tool such as lab tests can be effective in helping you understand what is happening in your body. It’s simply to provide your body with the exact replica of the youthful hormone that your body has been used to for decades (since you started menstruating) to help reduce your symptoms and improve your quality of life. Postmenopause The time after menopause has occurred, starting when a woman has not had a period for 12 consecutive months.What type of test is this? This is a qualitative test -- you find out whether or not you have elevated FSH levels, not if you definitely are in menopause or perimenopause. The problem with menopause is that it occurs over a period of several months (10) (sometimes 6-12 months). Do negative test results indicate that you are not in menopause? If you have a negative test result, but you have symptoms of menopause, you may be in perimenopause or menopause. You should not assume that a negative test means you have not reached menopause, there could be other reasons for the negative result. You should always discuss your symptoms and your test results with your doctor. Do not use these tests to determine if you are fertile or can become pregnant. These tests will not give you a reliable answer on your ability to become pregnant. Serum progesterone– Progesterone levels will drop to near zero levels during menopause. During the transition phase, your progesterone may fluctuate but will almost always be in the bottom 20% of the “normal” reference range.

The good news is that it is easily testable and that you can be sure of what is happening in your body with a couple of lab tests. Serum progesterone(5) – Progesterone helps to balance the powerful effects of estradiol and is one of the most sex hormones in the female body. Progesterone starts to decline at around age 35 and continues to decline to near-zero levels after menopause. Progesterone is available over the counter (as a cream) and can be effective at reducing the symptoms of menopause.

Women who suffer from early menopause may be pushed aside as having depression as opposed to true ovarian failure/menopause.

When in doubt, make sure to ask your doctor for the lab tests listed above as they may help to explain what is happening in your body. Why Testing is Important Diagnosing the following without laboratory tests in otherwise healthy women aged over 45 years with menopausal symptoms: Perimenopause The time in which a woman has irregular cycles of ovulation and menstruation leading up to menopause and continuing until 12 months after her final period. Perimenopause is also known as the menopausal transition or climacteric. Despite this many providers may still be reluctant to use HRT for menopause and may instead opt for other therapies such as anti-depressant medications.If you are in your 40s with the symptoms of menopause and with sub-optimal progesterone and estradiol and a high FSH, then the diagnosis should be clear (11). How do you do this test? In this test, you put a few drops of your urine on a test device, put the end of the testing device in your urine stream, or dip the test device into a cup of urine. Chemicals in the test device react with FSH and produce a color. Read the instructions with the test you buy to learn exactly what to look for in this test. Why should you do this test? You should use this test if you want to know if your symptoms, such as irregular periods, hot flashes, vaginal dryness, or sleep problems are part of menopause. While many women may have little or no trouble when going through the stages of menopause, others may have moderate to severe discomfort and may want treatment to alleviate their symptoms. This test may help you be better informed about your current condition when you see your doctor. What is FSH? Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) is a hormone produced by your pituitary gland. FSH levels increase temporarily each month to stimulate your ovaries to produce eggs. When you enter menopause and your ovaries stop working, your FSH levels also increase. How accurate is this test? These tests will accurately detect FSH about 9 out of 10 times. This test does not detect menopause or perimenopause. As you grow older, your FSH levels may rise and fall during your menstrual cycle. While your hormone levels are changing, your ovaries continue to release eggs and you can still become pregnant.

During menopause, we know that your estradiol levels and progesterone levels WILL fall dramatically. HRT has been shown in many studies to completely reverse the symptoms associated with menopause in a matter of days.Once you know that you are in menopause then you can explore treatments such as HRT to help manage your symptoms. Testosterone (free and total)(8) – Testosterone is important for both men and women. Testosterone, in women, helps to manage lean muscle mass, and helps promote weight loss and even libido. Always test testosterone in conjunction with other sex hormones (estrogen + progesterone). Serum estradiol– Estradiol drops in about 60% of women down to very low levels (sometimes less than the detectable level by lab tests). Up to 40% of women may retain some estradiol during menopause but the value is almost always very low. Does a positive test mean you are in menopause? A positive test indicates that you may be in a stage of menopause. If you have a positive test, or if you have any symptoms of menopause, you should see your doctor. Do not stop taking contraceptives based on the results of these tests because they are not foolproof and you could become pregnant. Serum estradiol(6) – Estradiol is the most powerful estrogen in the female body and this hormone helps to promote breast tissue growth, endometrial growth, manage your mood, your appetite, and even your weight. Estradiol declines (along with progesterone) to near-zero levels in many women during menopause. Most of the symptoms associated with menopause stem from the decline of this hormone. Estradiol can be given to women in the form of biest (or other formulations) to help eliminate the symptoms of menopause.
