Women’s Panel
Women’s Panel
Hormone insight, designed for women
Hormones influence energy, mood, metabolism, and reproductive health across a woman’s lifespan. Whether you’re planning for pregnancy, managing cycle irregularities, or navigating menopause, the Women’s Panel provides a comprehensive, lab-verified view of key hormone and thyroid biomarkers—including FSH, LH, prolactin, sensitive estradiol (E2), TSH, Free T3, Free T4, testosterone, and DHEA-S.
This panel measures FSH, LH, prolactin, estradiol (E2), TSH, Free T3, Free T4, testosterone, DHEA-S, and cortisol.
FSH and LH govern ovulation and cycle regulation. Estradiol reflects ovarian function. Prolactin affects fertility and cycle regularity. Thyroid markers are included because thyroid dysfunction is common in women and produces overlapping symptoms. Testosterone and DHEA-S capture androgen balance, affecting libido, energy, and body composition.
Hormonal patterns influence reproductive function, thyroid activity, stress response, and androgen balance. This at-home women's hormone panel measures key markers — FSH, LH, prolactin, estrogen, thyroid hormones, cortisol, testosterone, and DHEA-S — to deliver a clear, lab-verified view of hormonal activity.

- You experience irregular periods, heavy cycles, or unexplained cycle changes (ACOG Practice Bulletin — FSH, LH, and estradiol are first-line tests for evaluating menstrual irregularities.)
- You are planning to become pregnant or want to assess your fertility baseline (ASRM Guidelines — FSH and estradiol on cycle day 3 are standard markers for ovarian reserve assessment.)
- You are in your late 30s or 40s and want to understand if you are entering perimenopause (NAMS Menopause Guidelines 2023 — rising FSH alongside declining estradiol is a key perimenopause indicator.)
- You are navigating menopause and want to track your hormonal transition (NAMS 2023 — FSH, LH, and estradiol levels confirm menopausal status and guide HRT decisions.)
- You experience fatigue, mood swings, hair thinning, weight changes, or low libido that may have a hormonal cause (UAB Medicine 2026; ATA Guidelines — these symptoms overlap across thyroid, adrenal, and reproductive hormone imbalances.)
- You have been diagnosed with PCOS, endometriosis, or a thyroid condition and want to monitor key markers (ACOG PCOS Guidelines — LH/FSH ratio, testosterone, and DHEA-S are core monitoring markers for PCOS.)
- You are on hormonal birth control or HRT and want to see how your hormones are being affected (Endocrine Society — periodic hormone monitoring is advised for women on exogenous estrogen or progesterone therapy.)

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about your Women's Panel.
What hormones does the Women's Panel test?
The Women's Panel measures FSH, LH, prolactin, estradiol (E2), TSH, Free T3, Free T4, testosterone, and DHEA-S. Together these markers cover reproductive function, thyroid activity, adrenal output, and androgen balance — a comprehensive view of the hormonal systems that most affect how women feel day to day.
Who is this panel designed for?
This panel is designed for women at any life stage — whether you're planning for pregnancy, managing cycle irregularities, navigating perimenopause or menopause, monitoring thyroid health, or establishing a hormonal baseline for long-term health tracking.
Is this a diagnostic test?
No. This is a laboratory screening panel intended for education and wellness. Boomerang Laboratories does not diagnose, treat, or prescribe. Always consult a licensed healthcare provider for medical decisions.
Why is thyroid included in a women's hormone panel?
Thyroid hormones directly influence menstrual regularity, fertility, energy, mood, and metabolism — and thyroid disorders are significantly more common in women. Testing TSH, Free T3, and Free T4 alongside reproductive hormones gives a complete picture of the hormonal systems that most affect how women feel day to day.
Why does the panel include testosterone and DHEA-S?
Women produce testosterone and DHEA-S in the ovaries and adrenal glands. These androgens influence libido, energy, mood, and muscle tone. Imbalances — whether too high (as in PCOS) or too low — can significantly affect wellbeing and are commonly missed in standard hormone checks.
How is the sample collected?
This is a finger-prick blood test done at home. Your kit includes a lancet and blood collection card. A quick finger prick produces a few drops of blood that you place on the card, allow to dry for ~60 minutes, then seal in the prepaid mailer and drop in the mail.
When in my cycle should I test?
For the most informative results, reproductive hormones (FSH, LH, estradiol) are typically measured on days 2–5 of your menstrual cycle. If you are postmenopausal, on hormonal birth control, or have irregular cycles, timing is less critical. When in doubt, consult your provider.
Do I need to fast before the test?
Fasting is not required for this panel. Collecting your sample in the morning before 10am is generally recommended, as some hormone levels follow a diurnal pattern and are most stable earlier in the day.
What if my sample can't be processed?
If we can't process your sample (for example, under-filled or insufficient), we'll notify you and send a complimentary replacement kit.
How long until I see results?
Typically within 24–48 hours after our CLIA-certified laboratory receives your sample, you'll get a secure notification to view your results in the Boomerang Kits App.
Where do I view my results?
Your results, explanations, and trend tracking live in the Boomerang Kits App with your secure login.
Is my data private?
We protect your data with strict administrative, technical, and physical safeguards. Your results are encrypted, HIPAA-compliant, and visible only to you unless you choose to share them.
How often should I retest?
Most women benefit from retesting every 3–6 months when actively monitoring a condition or tracking progress, or annually as a routine health baseline. If you're in perimenopause or adjusting HRT, retesting every 2–3 months can help track changes as they happen.
Can I test if I'm on hormonal birth control or HRT?
Yes — you can still test. However, hormonal contraceptives and hormone replacement therapy suppress natural hormone production and will directly affect results for FSH, LH, and estradiol. Results should be reviewed in the context of your current medications. Sharing results with your provider is recommended.
Is this covered by insurance?
Boomerang Kits are consumer-initiated and not typically billed to insurance. You may use HSA/FSA funds where eligible. Check with your insurance provider to confirm if your plan allows reimbursement for at-home laboratory testing.
What other panels complement this one?
The Fertility Panel for deeper reproductive hormone detail, the Thyroid Panel for a focused thyroid workup, and the Vitamin Panel for nutritional factors that affect energy and mood.
