Simple health checks in my control

I didn't know that private blood tests were an option. Tried this platform as the packages suited what I wanted for a good price. Easy to follow instructions, and super quick results. Platform provides more information than my gp's ever have on the tests and what the results meant. Would like more clinics to be able to test at (specifically Capital Pathology) but there is a decent network. Will continue to use.

Calcium Blood Test

Overview

Oestradiol is your body's most powerful form of estrogen, working like a master conductor that coordinates essential functions throughout your entire system. While it's best known for regulating women's menstrual cycles and supporting reproductive health, this versatile hormone actually acts as your body's multi-talented assistant, helping maintain strong bones by boosting calcium absorption, supporting heart health through healthy cholesterol levels, and even influencing your mood, memory, and skin elasticity.

Testing your oestradiol levels gives you valuable insight into how well this crucial hormone is performing its many jobs. When levels are too high or too low, you might experience symptoms like irregular periods, mood changes, bone weakness, or menopausal effects like hot flashes. Since oestradiol naturally fluctuates throughout your menstrual cycle, during pregnancy, and especially during menopause, understanding your current levels helps explain what's happening in your body and guides decisions about your health and wellbeing. Even men produce small amounts of oestradiol for bone and brain health, making this test relevant for everyone seeking to understand their hormonal balance.

Symptoms

Essential for women experiencing irregular periods, fertility issues, or menopausal symptoms. Important for monitoring hormone replacement therapy effectiveness. Valuable for assessing bone health risk, investigating unexplained osteoporosis, and evaluating cardiovascular risk factors in both men and women.

Questions

  • Oestradiol (E2) is the most potent oestrogen, primarily produced by ovaries. Oestrone (E1) is weaker and more prevalent after menopause, while oestriol (E3) is mainly produced during pregnancy. Oestradiol is most clinically relevant.
  • Oestradiol levels gradually decline during perimenopause, then drop dramatically after menopause to less than 20% of pre-menopausal levels. This decline is responsible for most menopausal symptoms.
  • Yes, oestradiol monitoring is crucial during fertility treatments to assess ovarian response to medications, time egg retrieval, and evaluate endometrial development for embryo transfer timing.
  • Low oestradiol in reproductive-age women may indicate premature ovarian insufficiency, excessive exercise, eating disorders, stress, or pituitary problems. Further evaluation is usually needed.
  • Oestradiol stimulates bone formation and reduces bone breakdown. Low levels, especially after menopause, significantly increase osteoporosis risk. Hormone replacement therapy can help protect bones.
  • Yes, men need small amounts of oestradiol for bone and brain health. Too little can cause bone loss and cognitive issues, while too much might indicate liver problems or certain medications.

How to prepare

Timing is important for menstruating women. For cycle assessment, test on day 21 of a 28-day cycle or 7 days after suspected ovulation. For fertility evaluation, multiple tests throughout the cycle may be needed. No fasting required. Inform your healthcare provider about hormone medications, birth control, or supplements as these can significantly affect results.

After the test

Discuss results with a healthcare provider experienced in hormone management. Low oestradiol may require hormone replacement therapy, lifestyle modifications, or treatment of underlying conditions. High levels might need investigation for ovarian cysts, liver function, or medication adjustments. Bone density screening may be recommended for low oestradiol levels.

Your test results will be available in your private dashboard. If there are any urgent issues, we'll let you know so you can follow up with your health professional.

Understanding results

Normal ranges vary by gender, age, and cycle phase. Pre-menopausal women (follicular): 50-200 pmol/L; Pre-menopausal women (luteal): 300-750 pmol/L; Post-menopausal women: <150 pmol/L; Men: 50-200 pmol/L. Low levels may indicate ovarian dysfunction, menopause, or eating disorders. High levels might suggest ovarian cysts, liver disease, or hormone therapy effects.

If your test needs fasting, we’ll include that in your instructions after you order. Fasting usually means no food for 8–12 hours, but water is fine.
