FAQs – JD Biotech Menopause FSH 2-Minute Test Kit for Home Use
Why should I test for perimenopause or menopause?
Menopause is a natural stage of life, but the transition can bring a range of symptoms that may be confusing or disruptive. Testing helps confirm whether your symptoms are due to perimenopause or menopause, allowing you to take control of your health and seek the right support or treatments if needed.
How does this test work?
This test detects levels of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) in urine, which naturally rises as the ovaries slow down hormone production. If FSH levels are elevated, it’s a strong indicator that you are in perimenopause or menopause.
How accurate is this test?
The JD Biotech Menopause FSH Test is 99% accurate when detecting a rise in FSH, providing reliable results within just 2 minutes.
When should I take this test?
If you are experiencing symptoms such as hot flushes, irregular periods, night sweats, mood swings, vaginal dryness, or fatigue, this test can help confirm whether they are linked to hormonal changes.
For the most accurate results, the test should be taken on the first morning urine sample when FSH levels are at their highest. If the result is unclear, a second test should be taken a few days later.
What is the difference between perimenopause and menopause?
Perimenopause is the transition phase before menopause when hormone levels start fluctuating, leading to symptoms like irregular periods and mood changes.
Menopause is reached when you have not had a period for 12 consecutive months, marking the end of reproductive years.
Can this test confirm that I have completed menopause?
This test detects high FSH levels, which indicate that your body is transitioning towards menopause. However, menopause is officially diagnosed when you have had no periods for 12 months. If you are unsure, it may be helpful to repeat the test over time.
Can I use this test if I am on hormone replacement therapy (HRT)?
HRT affects hormone levels and may interfere with FSH readings, potentially giving an inaccurate result. If you are on HRT and unsure about menopause status, consult a healthcare professional.
What should I do if my test is positive?
If your test is positive, it means your FSH levels are elevated, suggesting you are in perimenopause or menopause. While no action is required, this result can help guide discussions with your GP about symptom management, lifestyle changes, or treatments such as HRT, supplements, or natural menopause support.
What if my test is negative?
A negative result suggests that FSH levels are not elevated at the time of testing. However, hormonal fluctuations can vary daily. If symptoms persist, you may wish to retest in a few weeks or consult a GP for further evaluation.
