My Unbiased Review Of An At-Home Hormone Testing Kit For Women

A couple of months ago, I went to the doctor for a hormone test to check my thyroid and other hormone levels. I was feeling a bit off, but once I got to the doctor’s office, the doctor brushed aside most of my concerns, left the room after five minutes, and ordered a simple blood test that didn’t even check the hormone levels that I had requested be tested, and I was left without any answers. So instead, I started researching at-home hormone tests.

I landed on Feminade, which had a hormone test for women that promised an easy, accurate test result plus a follow-up with a naturopathic doctor. I was a little hesitant at first, but now that I’ve gone through the process, I have a few things I loved and a few things I disliked.

But, to keep things simple…Do I think online hormone testing kits are worth the price for women? Yes, I do. And I’ll tell you why below.

What is an at home hormone testing kit?

At home hormone testing kits for women are designed to test your different hormone levels. Some are done by blood, others are done by saliva, but the test I took by Feminade was done using a dried urine test. For hormone testing at home, you’ll do the test, send your results off to a lab, and then you’ll receive an email detailing your results.
