How it works
Measure estradiol and progesterone together and obtain a calculated E/P ratio. The sample is collected at home and provides three measured or calculated values linked to the menstrual cycle and hormonal balance.
The test in brief
- Sample collection entirely at home
- Liquid capillary blood from the fingertip
- 3 analyzed or calculated hormone values
- Medical laboratory accredited according to ISO 15189
- Quality assurance according to Rili-BÄK
- Digital results in your personal health portal
What does the test measure?
Estradiol (E2)
Estradiol is a key form of estrogen and plays a role in the menstrual cycle, fertility, and bone health, among other things.
Progesterone
Progesterone levels normally rise after ovulation and need to be interpreted in relation to the menstrual cycle and the timing of the sample collection.
E/P ratio (calculated)
The ratio is calculated based on measured estradiol and progesterone levels and needs to be interpreted in relation to the cycle phase.
Symptoms and situations where the test may be relevant
This combination can provide a broader basis for assessment than a single hormone marker when values are tracked in relation to the cycle phase and symptoms.
Hormonal changes can occur in conjunction with, among other things:
- irregular menstruation
- cycle-related issues
- changes in bleeding patterns
- fertility issues
- menopause-related symptoms
The symptoms are non-specific and can have many other causes. The test does not provide a diagnosis.
Who is this test for?
- For those who want to analyze estradiol and progesterone together.
- For those who want to track levels in relation to the menstrual cycle.
- For those who want to obtain a calculated E/P ratio.
How the at-home lab test works
- Order the test and receive the sampling kit at home.
- Read the instructions and prepare for sample collection.
- Prick your fingertip and collect liquid capillary blood in the sample tube.
- Label the sample and send it to the laboratory using the return materials.
- The laboratory analyzes the specified markers.
- View your lab results digitally in the health portal.
Before sample collection
Specify the cycle day if you have a menstrual cycle. Testing is recommended during the luteal phase, around cycle days 19–22. Since cycle length varies, the optimal day for testing may differ from person to person.
Laboratory and quality
The sample is analyzed at a medical laboratory accredited according to ISO 15189. The laboratory's quality assurance follows Rili-BÄK guidelines for laboratory medical testing.
- Sample material: liquid capillary blood
- Sampling location: at home
- Results: quantitative laboratory values in a personal health portal
- Turnaround time: transport time and the scope of the analysis affect the total time
Results and reference values
You will receive the measured values and any calculated indices, along with the laboratory's units and applicable reference ranges. Hormone levels must be interpreted with consideration for factors such as timing, age, sex, menstrual cycle, medications, and symptoms.

Important information about the results
The results do not replace medical assessment, diagnosis, or treatment. Contact a healthcare provider if you experience distinct or persistent symptoms, abnormal results, or have concerns.
Frequently asked questions
Can I take the hormone test at home?
Yes. You take a capillary blood sample from your fingertip and send it to the laboratory.
Why does the test measure multiple hormones?
Hormones interact with each other. Multiple values can provide a broader basis for assessment than a single marker, but the results must still be interpreted in the proper context.
Can the menstrual cycle or the timing of the test affect the results?
Yes. Follow the product-specific sampling instructions and indicate the day of your cycle if requested.
Can medications affect hormone levels?
Yes. Never alter prescribed treatment without first consulting a healthcare professional.
Can the test provide a diagnosis?
No. It provides laboratory values that can serve as a basis for further assessment.
How do I receive the results?
The result is displayed digitally with the laboratory's units and reference range.
What is analysed
Hormones
- Estradiol (E2)
- Progesterone
Other
- E/P ratio (calculated)
Frequently asked questions
What does the estrogen & progesterone test measure?
The test measures estradiol (E2) and progesterone, and reports the E/P ratio (calculated) based on the measured values.
How is the sample taken?
You prick your finger and collect a capillary blood sample in the sample tube provided. Follow the sampling instructions carefully.
Do I need to prepare?
- If you have a menstrual cycle, state your cycle day when you take the sample.
- If you have a menstrual cycle, taking the sample in the luteal phase, around day 19–22, is recommended.
Always follow the instructions that come with the sampling kit.
How is the sample sent?
Label and pack the sample, then send it to the laboratory as instructed.
When and how will I get my results?
When the laboratory analysis is complete, you receive your results digitally. Transport time and the scope of the analysis affect the total turnaround time.
Can the test provide a diagnosis?
No. The test provides laboratory values that need to be assessed together with symptoms, medical history and other circumstances.
