Menopause Check | Wechseljahre Hormon-Test: which blood markers matter?

For a menopause check (hormone test), the key blood markers are: FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) – rises during perimenopause; estradiol (E2) – declines; LH (luteinizing hormone) – also rises. AMH (anti-Müllerian hormone) indicates ovarian reserve and can help predict menopause timing, but is not diagnostic for menopause itself. Additional markers often include progesterone, TSH, vitamin D, and SHBG. Important: values fluctuate with the menstrual cycle; a single test can be misleading. MyBody-X or other at-home tests provide orientation but do not replace clinical diagnosis. Evidence for FSH and estradiol is strong (human-strong), for AMH moderate (human-moderate).
