Advanced Thyroid and Sex Hormones Check

Brooksby Medical test kit

Struggling with unexplained fatigue, weight changes, or low mood? Because thyroid and sex hormone symptoms often overlap, testing one without the other can leave you without answers. This profile investigates both simultaneously to help you find the true root cause.

Common questions

Everything you need to know before ordering your Advanced Thyroid and Sex Hormones Check.

What does this panel include?

This combined profile checks thyroid function (TSH, FT4, FT3) alongside key sex hormones. It is designed for people whose symptoms could be caused by either thyroid dysfunction or hormonal imbalance, helping distinguish between the two in a single blood draw.

Who should consider this test?

Anyone experiencing overlapping symptoms such as fatigue, weight changes, mood shifts, hair loss or reduced libido where the cause could be thyroid, hormonal or both. Particularly useful for women in perimenopause where thyroid and reproductive hormones can both be shifting.

When should I take this test?

Collect your sample between 6 and 10 AM for the most stable hormone readings. If you are still having periods, day 2 to 5 of your cycle is recommended. Avoid biotin supplements for 48 hours before testing.

Do I need to fast?

No fasting is required. Water is fine and encouraged for an easier blood draw.

How will I receive my results?

Secure online results with a GP-written explanation from Brooksby Medical in 2 to 3 working days.

More about Brooksby

Is my report reviewed by a doctor?

Yes. Every Brooksby test comes with a written report from Dr James Coleman, a practising GMC-registered GP, who personally reviews your results in the context of your symptoms and explains what each marker means and what to do next. If anything in your report needs discussing, you can request an optional free follow-up from your account — though many people are happy with the written report alone.

How accurate are the results?

All samples are processed in UKAS-accredited UK laboratories — the same accreditation standard used by hospital laboratories. Your results are then personally reviewed by a qualified GP before your report is issued.

Who writes the reports?

Every report is written by Dr James Coleman, an experienced, GMC-registered GP — not generated by AI or written by non-medical staff.

How long do results take?

Most reports are ready within 2–3 working days of your sample arriving at the lab. You will receive an email when your report is ready in your secure portal.

Do I need a GP referral?

No. You can order directly without a referral. Brooksby Medical is a CQC-registered service, and every result is reviewed by a practising doctor.

Can I share my results with my NHS GP?

Absolutely. Your report is designed to be shared with any healthcare professional. Many of our patients bring their Brooksby report to their NHS GP appointment for further discussion.

What happens if something is abnormal?

Your doctor-written report will flag any abnormal results with clear explanations and recommended next steps. For significantly abnormal results, we'll contact you directly.

What is the difference between venous and fingerprick?

Fingerprick tests use a small lancet to collect drops of blood at home. Venous tests are drawn from a vein by a nurse or phlebotomist. Each test page specifies which is required.

Is my data kept private?

Yes. All data is handled in accordance with UK GDPR. Packaging is plain with no indication of contents. Results are sent securely to you only, not shared or sold.
