Some GPs use an FSH result as part of assessing the menopause transition, and in the UK some require one before prescribing HRT under the age of 45. It does not replace a GP visit or a clinical diagnosis — it gives you a starting point for the conversation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"faq-item\" style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I test if I'm on the pill or have a hormonal IUD?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo — an FSH test can mislead you if you use hormonal contraception, a hormonal IUD, have had a hysterectomy, or have PCOS. In these situations an FSH reading may not reflect where you actually are in the menopause transition, so the better step is to speak with your doctor rather than rely on a home test.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"faq-item\" style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan it be perimenopause if my periods are still regular?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — perimenopause can begin while your periods are still regular, so the change you feel can be real even without an obvious shift in your cycle. Because FSH fluctuates during perimenopause, one test is a snapshot rather than a diagnosis. Testing over time, alongside your symptoms and a doctor's input, gives you a clearer picture than any single result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"faq-item\" style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need an app?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo app needed — the Zestra Menopause Test Kit is read directly from the test itself in three minutes, with no account and no upload.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThat is a deliberate contrast with app-dependent tests, where a geo-locked companion app can be an extra barrier; here the result is on the test in front of you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"faq-item\" style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I read the result — and when?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead the result at three minutes, not after ten — reading it too late can make the lines harder to interpret.
