What is the Menopause Test 2-Pack?
The Menopause Test 2-Pack is a simple and discreet at-home FSH urine test designed to help women understand whether they may be entering perimenopause or menopause. The test measures levels of Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), a key hormone that rises as the body produces less estrogen during the menopausal transition. Each box contains 2 tests, allowing you to test on two different days for more reliable screening.
What Does the Test Detect?
The Menopause Test measures FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) in urine.
- Positive result: FSH level is elevated (≥25 mIU/mL), which may indicate that you are experiencing perimenopause or menopause.
- Negative result: FSH level is below 25 mIU/mL, which suggests you are not experiencing menopause during this cycle.
How Does the Test Work?
- Collect a fresh urine sample (first morning urine is recommended).
- Add a few drops of urine to the test cassette using the provided dropper.
- Wait 1–5 minutes to read the result (do not read after 10 minutes).
- Two lines, with the test line (T) the same as or darker than the control line (C), indicate a positive result.
- Two lines where the test line (T) is lighter than the control line (C), or only a control line (C) appears, indicate a negative result.
- No control line means the test is invalid and should be repeated with a new device.
Symptoms of Perimenopause and Menopause
Menopause is a natural stage in a woman’s life when menstrual cycles gradually stop. The transition, known as perimenopause, can start several years before menopause and often brings symptoms such as:
- Hot flashes or night sweats
- Irregular or missed periods
- Mood swings or irritability
- Trouble sleeping (insomnia)
- Fatigue and reduced energy
- Vaginal dryness or discomfort
These symptoms vary between individuals, and testing FSH levels can provide helpful information to understand whether hormonal changes linked to menopause may be occurring.
When to Use This Test
- If you are still having regular periods: take the first test during days 2–7 of your menstrual cycle, then use the second test one week later.
- If your periods have become irregular or have stopped: you can take the test on any day, and repeat the second test after one week.
- The 2-pack format allows you to compare results over time for greater screening accuracy.

Important to Know
- This test measures FSH levels in urine. It is a screening tool and cannot confirm menopause on its own.
- Hormone levels can vary daily, which is why two tests are provided.
- A positive result suggests that FSH is elevated, which may indicate perimenopause or menopause, but other factors can also affect hormone levels.
- Always consult a healthcare professional for a full evaluation if you are experiencing persistent symptoms or need medical advice about treatment options.
- Follow the included instructions carefully for the most accurate results.
