Functional Tests

Female Blood Profile II (E2, E3, E1, Pg, T, DS, C, SHBG, TSH, fT3, fT4, TT4, Tgbn & TPOab)

Overview

The Female Blood Profile II test measures oestradiol, progesterone, testosterone, sex hormone binding globulin, DHEA-S, cortisol, free T4, free T3, thyroid stimulating hormone and thyroid peroxidase antibodies using blood spot analysis. This panel brings together markers from ovarian, adrenal and thyroid hormone systems within a single sample type.

This test may be clinically useful when hormone-related symptoms span multiple systems, such as menstrual changes, energy fluctuations, mood symptoms, sleep disturbance or metabolic concerns. Assessing these markers together allows practitioners to observe how different hormone groups align rather than viewing each system in isolation.

Practitioners typically interpret results in the context of menstrual cycle timing, age and life stage, stress exposure, medication or hormone use, dietary patterns and other laboratory findings. This integrated approach supports informed discussions with clients about hormone-related patterns.
