This test measures 11 key biomarkers known to play an important role in your overall health

Your test results will provide detailed information on the 11 biomarkers (10 hormones and 1 antibody) measured and whether those levels fall within established normal ranges for your reproductive stage. This can provide clarity if your hormones are balanced or if imbalances may be causing symptoms that keep you from feeling like yourself.

Estradiol

Estradiol is the main estrogen in women and is produced by the ovaries. It is one of the main sex hormones responsible for ovulation—and is measured by this hormone test for women. After menopause, levels of estradiol decline significantly. Estradiol is also responsible for the health and normal function of other sexual organs, such as the breast, vagina, and uterus.

Progesterone

Progesterone helps to maintain the endometrium, or lining of the uterus, and helps maintain a pregnancy. When a woman enters menopause and stops ovulating, progesterone production significantly drops.

Luteinizing Hormone

LH is the hormone that is responsible for ovulation. A normal hormone level for LH in the second half of the menstrual cycle is reassuring that there are no major hormonal imbalances interfering with normal ovary function.

Follicle-Stimulating Hormone

FSH is the hormone responsible for the growth and maturation of follicles, which are the source of estrogen and progesterone which every woman needs to have a normal menstrual cycle. A normal FSH level indicates that a woman has a suspected normal number of eggs for her age.

DHEAS

DHEAS is an adrogen hormone that is produced by the adrenal glands and the ovaries. It is involved in the production of other hormones in the body, such as testosterone and estrogen.

Cortisol

Cortisol is made in our adrenal glands and is released in our bodies naturally each day. Cortisol affects energy levels by regulating the release of glucose as a main source of our body's fuel that helps keep us going during the day. Cortisol is also the body's main stress hormone. Your sample is collected four times throughout the day, and your results will reflect your cortisol levels during those times.

Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone

Thyroid-stimulating hormone, TSH, is the hormone responsible for controlling hormone production by the thyroid gland. The hormone TSH is considered the most sensitive marker for screening for thyroid diseases and conditions. Our thyroid panel is ideal for TSH testing at home and will tell you how your levels compare to normal TSH levels.

Free T3

Free T3 is a hormone produced by the thyroid gland. Levels of this fluctuate when individuals have an under or overactive thyroid gland.

Free T4

Free T4 is the predominant hormone produced by the thyroid gland. Levels fluctuate when individuals have an under or overactive thyroid gland. Testing your free T4 with this thyroid function test lets you see if your thyroid hormone production is at a normal level.

Total Testosterone

Testosterone is produced by the adrenal cortex and the ovaries. Testosterone that is bound to proteins in the blood is called Total Testosterone. Certain medication, like birth control, can increase those proteins in the blood and bind more testosterone leaving less Free Testosterone, or unbound hormone, floating freely in the blood.

Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies

Thyroid peroxidase antibodies are antibodies that can bind to thyroid enzymes, suppressing thyroid function. They are elevated in a condition called Hashimoto's disease, which is the most common type of hypothyroidism in the USA.

Certified Labs

Each lab we work with is CLIA-certified (Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments). This means they have to meet high standards to obtain both state and federal certifications and submit themselves to regular inspections.

Physician Reviewed

Everlywell tests are reviewed and approved by an independent board-certified physician within your state. This ensures that any test ordered is relevant to your health and wellness.

Secure Data

Everlywell is HIPAA compliant and takes your privacy very seriously. We use state-of-the-art, bank-grade encryption to ensure your data is stored securely, and under no circumstance do we ever sell your data.

Hormone Imbalance and Hormone Testing

A woman's hormones are constantly changing and the slightest imbalance can change how you feel day to day. A hormonal imbalance can affect the menstrual cycle, mood, metabolism, libido, and sleep. Testing hormones is a critical step in understanding a woman’s reproductive and general health. Knowing if you have a hormonal imbalance is the first step to understanding the changes you may be experiencing in your body.

How to check hormone levels easily

The Everlywell at-home Women's Health test is the most comprehensive panel for a complete look at all the hormones that are critical to a women's well-being. This hormone imbalance test checks your female hormone levels so you can discover if your levels are too high or low compared to reference ranges.

Our Women’s Health test is taken in your own home, and results are provided by an experienced, CLIA-certified laboratory. At a low price for all of these tests, this is the perfect starting point for those wanting to take a first step in assessing their own hormone levels before turning to more expensive, difficult, or complex alternatives.

How to Check Hormone Levels at Home

Here’s how to test hormone levels from the comfort of home:

The Everlywell Women’s Health test lets you easily check for 11 key hormones all from the comfort of your own home. The kit includes everything you need– even a prepaid shipping label to send your samples to the lab.

This easy-to-use female hormone test can detect an imbalance, and it also includes detailed instructions for how to collect your blood and saliva samples.

To collect your blood sample, just prick your finger and apply a few drops of blood to the collection card. The saliva sample is collected by spitting into the saliva tubes provided in the kit.

You’ll then send your samples to the lab, and just a few days later, your test results will be ready to view on our secure, online portal.

Why take a women’s hormone test?

A hormone level test can tell you a lot about your body’s well-being. The test results can point you to a hormone imbalance, which can affect your health. This is because hormones regulate many vital functions in the body by acting as “chemical messengers.” So out-of-balance hormones can disrupt your body’s normal, healthy functioning—and result in a variety of symptoms.

For example, if your thyroid hormones are out of balance, you might experience symptoms like fatigue, cold sensitivity, irregular periods, dry skin, thinning hair, and more.

Or if your steroid hormones are imbalanced, you could have symptoms like increased body fat, lowered sex drive, loss of strength, and so on. (Steroid hormones include hormones like testosterone and estradiol, the main form of estrogen in the body.)

Is the Everlywell Women’s Health Test a hormone blood test?

Our at-home Women’s Health Test uses two sample types to check hormone levels: blood and saliva. Collecting both sample types is simple:

- Blood sample collection only requires a simple finger prick (Learn more)

- For collecting your saliva sample, you just spit into the tube that comes with the kit (Learn more)

How reliable is a salivary hormone testing kit?

Saliva hormone testing can give you accurate information about your hormone levels. A large amount of research done in the past decades has shown that hormone levels in saliva correlate with hormone levels in blood (for many hormones). So saliva tests offer a convenient, noninvasive way to evaluate a wide range of hormones, and saliva testing techniques can be just as accurate as blood testing methods.

Example: Salivary Cortisol

Studies show that salivary cortisol reflects the body’s cortisol levels just as well as measurements of cortisol in blood.

Additionally, research shows that salivary cortisol is useful as a screening test for conditions like Cushing’s syndrome (a condition that results in excess cortisol in the body, sometimes due to a pituitary tumor).

Also, all sample collection and testing methods used for Everlywell kits are well-established and widely-used in scientific and medical circles. For this reason, our hormone balance test for women can give you reliable, accurate insight into your body’s hormone levels.

What can I do if my hormone levels are out of balance?

If a hormone panel test reveals that your hormones are out of balance, consider talking with your healthcare provider. A healthcare professional can take into consideration your medical history, a physical exam, and other factors to help you get the most value from your at-home lab test results.

Can hormone imbalances be treated?

In many cases, hormonal imbalances are treatable. For example, your healthcare provider may recommend hormone replacement therapy for certain thyroid hormone disorders, menopausal symptoms, and more.

Hormone therapy isn’t the only possible way to treat hormonal imbalances, however. For example, your healthcare provider may prescribe medication that blocks the effects of testosterone if your T levels are too high.
