An FSH test is most useful for women under the age of 45 who are experiencing menopause symptoms, or when menopause is suspected. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGeneral information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SELFCHECK Menopause Test detects levels of FSH greater than 25 IU\/L in a midstream urine sample. As the levels of FSH can fluctuate during certain stages of menopause, two tests are included in each kit, to be used one week apart, and only if both tests are positive should the possibility of menopause be considered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe test can be used at any time of the day, but it is recommended that an early morning sample be used, as this is the time of the day when the FSH levels in your urine are likely to be highest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTime to result\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe test gives a result in 10 minutes at home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWarnings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA test for a single biomarker, such as FSH, is not a diagnosis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot following the instructions exactly as written in the instructions for use may cause a false positive or false negative result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDo not change your medication, diet or lifestyle solely on the basis of a self-test - always discuss your result with an appropriate healthcare professional first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe measurement of FSH alone cannot indicate with 100% certainty that you are postmenopause or not. Always discuss your results with your doctor before making any changes to your lifestyle or medication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDue to the fluctuations in levels of FSH during the menstrual cycle it is possible to have levels of FSH in the urine approaching the cut-off for the test, which could give a positive result. In case of unexpected results please speak with your doctor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe measurement of FSH is not designed to check whether you can stop contraception and must not be used for this purpose. Always speak with your doctor before changing or stopping contraception.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you have just discontinued using a hormonal contraceptive, it is possible that your menstrual cycle may be irregular for some time, which can affect your result. It is recommended to wait two menstrual cycles before using the test.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAccuracy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis test has a cut-off of 25 mIU\/mL of FSH for a positive result, and is calibrated to WHO 08\/282 international standard. The test has an overall agreement of 94.29%, sensitivity of 90.77% and specificity of 100% with laboratory FSH tests. Although this test is reliable for the detection of FSH in urine, all medical tests can give false positive or false negative results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIMPORTANT: These figures refer to the agreement of the SELFCHECK test with laboratory FSH urine tests, and not to the accuracy of tests for the diagnosis of menopause.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFurther information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNICE Guideline NG23 Menopause diagnosis and management: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nice.org.uk\/guidance\/ng23\" title=\"NHS NICE Guidance NG23\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.nice.org.uk\/guidance\/ng23\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eInformation for health care professionals\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003ePrinciple, performance data, and regulatory information on the SELFCHECK Menopause Test for \u003ca title=\"Information on the SELFCHECK Menopause (FSH) Test for healthcare professionals\" href=\"https:\/\/selfcheckmedical.com\/pages\/selfcheck-menopause-fsh-test-data-sheet-for-hcps\"\u003ehealth care professionals\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eReviewed 14th April 2026.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SELFCheck","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31124952088628,"sku":"SCMEN1","price":12.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0272\/1978\/7828\/files\/SELFCHECKMenopauseTest.png?v=1682413848","url":"https:\/\/selfchecktests.co.uk\/products\/selfcheck-menopause-fsh-test","provider":"SELFCHECK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
