Clinically guided blood testing

Blood Tests for Menopause, Testosterone and Weight Management

At LIVVE, blood testing helps us provide safe, personalised, evidence-led care.

Whether you need support with menopause, testosterone therapy, weight management or ongoing hormone care, testing can provide clearer clinical direction.

Your first step is a £75 consultation with a LIVVE prescribing pharmacist. They'll assess your symptoms, medical history and treatment needs, and recommend blood testing where clinically appropriate. Any blood tests are charged separately, with costs explained before you proceed.

Testing with clinical context

What can blood tests help with?

Blood tests can provide valuable information, but the result is only one part of the picture. At LIVVE, results are interpreted alongside your age, symptoms, cycle pattern, health history and current treatment.

  • Blood tests may help to

    • identify thyroid, iron, glucose, cholesterol, liver or kidney abnormalities;
    • support assessment where symptoms are complex or atypical;
    • provide a baseline before certain treatments;
    • monitor testosterone and other treatment safely;
    • guide whether further assessment is needed.
  • Blood tests cannot

    • explain every symptom on their own;
    • replace a clinical consultation;
    • guarantee that treatment is appropriate;
    • diagnose low testosterone from symptoms or one result alone;
    • provide a definitive perimenopause diagnosis in every patient.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a consultation before having a blood test?

Yes. At LIVVE, blood testing is guided by clinical need rather than offered as a standalone service. During your consultation, your prescribing pharmacist will review your symptoms, medical history and treatment needs to determine whether testing is appropriate.

If recommended, we'll explain the options and costs before you proceed.

Do I need a blood test to diagnose menopause?

Not usually. If you're aged 45 or over and experiencing typical perimenopause or menopause symptoms, a diagnosis can generally be made from your symptoms and menstrual history without hormone blood tests.

Testing may be helpful in certain circumstances, such as symptoms occurring at a younger age, an unclear clinical picture or the need to investigate other possible causes. Your LIVVE clinician will advise whether testing is necessary.

What's included in the price of my LIVVE blood test?

Your blood test price includes a test kit, laboratory analysis through Medichecks, a professional venous blood draw at a participating partner clinic, a Medichecks doctor's report and review of your results by the LIVVE clinical team.

A home nurse visit is available for an additional £25. Your initial £75 consultation is charged separately. Any additional consultation costs will be explained before booking.

What happens after my blood test results are ready?

Your results will be available securely through Medichecks, alongside a doctor's report. The LIVVE clinical team will also review your results in the context of your care and advise on any appropriate next steps.

If you'd like dedicated time to discuss your results or ask further questions, you can book an optional video consultation with a LIVVE clinician for £30.

Will I need regular blood tests if I'm taking HRT or testosterone?

Not everyone taking HRT needs routine hormone blood tests. Monitoring depends on your treatment, symptoms and individual medical history.

Testosterone treatment generally requires blood testing before starting and during treatment to help ensure safe prescribing. Your LIVVE clinician will explain the appropriate monitoring schedule and any associated costs.
