About flexible subscriptions
How does a subscription work?
When you purchase this test subscription plan, we will automatically send you another test kit in a few months. Don't worry - you have full control over when this will be, and you can change/cancel it anytime.
When you first purchase this test, you can choose your subscription options in the checkout. We do this, because we recommend taking multiple tests over time to track how your biomarkers change. You'll be charged per test kit (rather than monthly, for example).
Why subscribe to multiple tests?
One test will show you what areas you need to focus on, continued testing will help you learn how your training, diet and lifestyle is impacting your health.
How often should I test?
We recommend a follow up test 3 months after your first test, followed by a test every 6 months depending on your results, but its up to you!
Can I change what's tested in future tests?
Yes, you can tailor/customise subsequent tests (via your app) to focus on just the areas that need improving.

Finger prick kit (FREE)
You can do this test at home without the need for a doctor. We'll send you everything you need to collect your sample and post it back to us. And it's all included in the cost. We've put together a video that covers the process, making it easy to check and track your health from home.
Home nurse appointment (+£60)
We'll arrange for a medical professional to visit your home and collect your sample. This is great if you're unsure on how it all works or have trouble collecting a sample. No need to book a doctor's appointment or visit a clinic, we'll send you everything you need to collect a sample and post it back to our labs.
Visit a partner clinic (+£45)
Once you've ordered your test, look out for an email from our phlebotomy partners containing information and a link to book your appointment. We'll send you everything the clinic will need to complete the sample and post it back to our labs.
Organise a nurse myself (FREE)
If none of the above options work for you, you can arrange your own medical professional to collect your sample. There is no additional charge for this. Once you've ordered your test, we'll send you everything you and your chosen medical professional will need to collect a sample and post it back to our labs.

What does a menopause test check?
Our menopause test checks important areas of your health after you’ve reached menopause, such as your bone and heart health. It also checks the hormones that can affect your mental health, including your sleep, mood and energy levels. Our at-home menopause test makes it easy to keep track of your health once you’ve reached menopause.
Who is a menopause test for?
This test is for women who have reached menopause (not had a period for at least 12 months) or are post-menopause and want to keep track of their health.
If you’re experiencing symptoms related to perimenopause, our perimenopause blood test can help.
Is there a test for perimenopause?
Yes – our MyFORM® Female Hormone Mapping test is a completely new and innovative test for women who think they may be in perimenopause. It’s designed to map your key female hormones across your entire menstrual cycle, giving greater insights than current, single day hormone tests. This test is suitable for women who are not on any form of HRT or hormonal contraception.
When should you do the menopause blood test?
If you’ve stopped having periods, you can take our menopause test any day that suits you, but within 3 hours of waking up. However, if you’re still having periods, you should collect your blood sample on day 3 of your menstrual cycle.
Frequently asked questions
This is what our customers ask us most about this test. For more information, try our help centre.
When does menopause start?
Menopause starts when you’ve not had a period for 12 consecutive months. According to the NHS, the average age women in the UK start menopause is 51, but it can start earlier or later.
Perimenopause is the phase leading to menopause, and is when you’ll experience most of the symptoms associated with menopause, such as night sweats, brain fog and irregular periods.
Is osteoporosis common during menopause?
Women can be at an increased risk of osteoporosis after menopause due to the impact it can have on bone health. It is advisable for women to regularly test bone health biomarkers during this period of their life.
How long does menopause last?
Menopause is a point in time, marked by not having had a period for 12 consecutive months. The phase after menopause is called postmenopause and lasts for the rest of your life.
Before you reach menopause, you’ll go through a phase called perimenopause. This can last up to 10 years, during which your periods will become irregular as you transition to menopause.
Can I take this test if I'm on HRT?
Yes. This test is suitable for women who are on HRT. It is also useful for understanding if you are on the right dose of HRT as it measures your levels of oestrogen. Repeating the test over time will enable you to see if your oestrogen levels are declining further, requiring a possible change in your HRT dose.
When do I need to take the test?
If you’re still having periods, collect your blood sample on the 3rd day of your period. If you no longer have periods, you can take the test at any time.
Important information regarding corrected calcium
Our labs have conducted stability validation on all the markers offered by Forth. Corrected Calcium has a shorter stability time than the majority of markers of around 2 – 3 days. Forth provides a Tracked 24 return envelope in all kits to return samples to the lab within 24 hours. In the majority of cases, samples are returned within the stability time. If a sample arrives outside this time, this result will not be provided to you.
How do I find out my results are ready?
We keep you updated throughout the process by email and text message.
We will let you know when your blood sample has arrived at our lab. Once the blood sample has been analysed one of our doctors will review your results.
Once your results are ready, we will email you and send you a text message to let you know your results are ready for you to view in your health dashboard.
How soon will the test arrive?
If you order your test before midday on a Monday to Friday then your kit will be dispatched
the same day.
All our kits are sent out via Royal Mail first class post, so it should be with you within 1-2
working days.
How secure is my data?
We have strict processes in place to ensure the protection of your data. Following GDPR the company also operates under tight legal rules about the sharing of data which ensures that data is only shared if it is crucial to the delivery of our service. For example, our doctors see customer results at the time of review, however, after review, access to results is withdrawn.
Learn more about your data security.
Can I have someone take my blood for me?
Yes. We offer two options if you do not want to do our finger prick test. The first is a home appointment where a nurse comes to your home to take a blood sample. The second is to visit a Phlebotomy clinic near you that offers a blood sample service.
A blood sample will be taken from your vein and we will provide you with everything you need to give to the nurse to allow them to take the sample.
The nurse will give you the blood sample to return to us using the pre-paid envelope provided.
Does a doctor review my results?
We have a team of doctors and nurses who look at all results and will comment on any results that are outside of the normal range for your age.
Can I download the results to share with my GP?
Yes, you can download your results from your health dashboard as a PDF to share with your GP.
