• Premenstrual and cyclical concerns: PMS, mood swings, migraines, cramps, bloating or breast tenderness.
• Menstrual irregularity: unpredictable cycles, heavy bleeding or clotting, or symptoms linked to fibroids or fibrocystic changes.
• Perimenopausal and menopausal experiences: hot flushes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, sleep disruption or temperature sensitivity.
• Mood and cognitive concerns: depression, irritability, memory lapses or difficulty concentrating.
• Energy and metabolic changes: fatigue, unexplained weight gain, low stamina or blood sugar fluctuations.
• Skin and hair concerns: acne, dryness, flushing, thinning hair, excessive shedding or unwanted hair growth.
• Musculoskeletal symptoms: joint pain, muscle discomfort or concerns relating to bone density.
• Sexual health considerations: low libido or discomfort affecting intimacy.

The Female Blood Profile I test measures oestradiol, progesterone, testosterone, SHBG, DHEA-S and cortisol using dried bloodspot technology. This method offers a convenient way to evaluate multiple hormone markers that influence menstrual patterns, mood, energy, metabolic balance and reproductive function.

The markers included in this panel may relate to concerns such as PMS, migraines, mood swings, irregular periods, weight changes, breast tenderness, hot flushes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, skin or hair changes, fatigue, memory issues, joint discomfort or symptoms associated with thyroid or adrenal imbalance. The profile may also be relevant when exploring patterns connected to infertility or perimenopausal transitions.

Practitioners typically interpret these results alongside clinical history, menstrual patterns, lifestyle factors, nutrition, stress load and reported symptoms to create a clearer understanding of how hormonal patterns align with the experiences described by clients.
