What's Measured:
Luteinizing Hormone (LH): Tests for LH, which is crucial for ovulation and menstrual cycle regulation. Changes in LH levels are often an indicator of perimenopause.
Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH): Measures the levels of FSH, which helps control the menstrual cycle and the production of eggs. Elevated FSH levels can indicate a reduction in ovarian reserve and a transition to perimenopause.
When to Test:
Family Planning: Knowledge of your hormone levels can assist in family planning decisions, particularly if you are considering having children later in life.
Doctor's Recommendation: If a healthcare professional suggests that you monitor your hormone levels due to age or symptoms related to hormonal changes.
Special Instructions
Optimal Specimen Collection Timing:
Collect the sample on the third day of your menstrual cycle (day 1 being the first day of the period) if you have regular menstrual cycles.
If your cycles are somewhat irregular, wait until day 3 of your next menstrual cycle for sample collection.
For those who experience infrequent menstrual cycles 1-3 times a year, collect the sample at any time.
If you do not have a menstrual cycle, you can collect the sample at any time.
Guidance for Hormone Users:
Avoid collecting the sample if you are currently taking hormones.

Understanding Perimenopause and Menopause: How Hormone Testing Can Help
For many women, perimenopause and menopause bring about a rollercoaster of changes. Perimenopause, the transitional phase leading up to menopause, often starts in your 40s and can last for years. Hormone levels fluctuate, causing symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, irregular periods, and more. After menopause, hormonal shifts continue, sometimes leading to new health challenges.
If you’ve been wondering what’s happening with your body, Celesta Health at-home testing offers a simple and comfortable way to gain clarity. With our at-home health test kits for perimenopause and post-menopause testing, you can learn about your hormone levels from the comfort of your home, at your own pace, and take steps toward feeling better.
What is a Perimenopause Test?
A perimenopause test measures three key hormones that help track where you are in the transition:
- Estradiol: This form of estrogen plays a significant role in regulating your menstrual cycle and reproductive health.
- Luteinizing Hormone (LH): LH supports ovulation and helps regulate your cycle.
- Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH): FSH controls the development of eggs in your ovaries and rises during perimenopause.
By testing these hormones, you’ll gain a clear understanding of what’s happening in your body. This knowledge can provide a sense of relief, as it helps you connect the dots between hormone fluctuations and symptoms like hot flashes, sleep problems, or mood swings.
What is a Post menopause Test?
Once you’ve reached menopause (defined as 12 consecutive months without a period), hormone levels stabilize at lower levels, but they still matter. A post-menopause test focuses on two key hormones:
- Progesterone: This hormone drops significantly after menopause. Tracking its levels can help evaluate your hormonal balance.
- Estradiol: Lower estradiol levels after menopause can affect bone density, skin health, and overall well-being.
By understanding these changes, you and your healthcare provider can create a plan to address concerns like bone health, energy levels, or other symptoms.
Why Test for Perimenopause and post-menopause?
Symptoms during perimenopause can vary widely. While some women experience mild changes, others face significant disruptions, including:
- Hot flashes and night sweats
- Irregular periods
- Mood swings
- Fatigue
- Sleep disturbances
A perimenopause test helps identify the hormonal imbalances causing these symptoms so you can take the proper steps to feel better.
Hormone levels influence long-term health for women after menopause. A post-menopause test helps identify potential risks, such as bone loss or changes in cardiovascular health, and guides decisions about lifestyle or treatment options.
