Before you begin
A few things
worth knowing.
Is this the right place to start?
Choose this panel to see the hormone markers listed below. It does not include oestradiol or progesterone, and a single test cannot establish the cause of cycle changes. Discuss symptoms with your GP.
What should I know before taking my sample?
Follow the collection and preparation instructions supplied with your kit. Register your sample and record the collection time before returning it for analysis. If you take medication, ask your clinician about testing; do not stop prescribed medication for a test.
What can this test tell me?
It gives you a snapshot of the markers included in this panel. One result outside a range does not on its own mean something is medically wrong. Speak to your GP about persistent or concerning symptoms.
How will I see my results?
Your blood test results are displayed in your Helvy account. You can explore the sample report on this page to see an illustrative example before you order.
What are the limits of this panel?
Hormone levels change with your cycle and can be affected by medication. This panel does not include oestradiol or progesterone. Follow the sample-timing instructions supplied with your kit.
