Menopause Test Instructions

How to perform this menopause test:

Read all instructions carefully before performing the test.

  1. When ready to urinate remove the midstream menopause test from the foil pouch.
  2. Remove the protective cap from the test to reveal the absorbent tip. Do not throw the cap away.
  3. Hold the test wand by the thumb grip with the exposed absorbent tip pointing downwards and place directly into the urine stream for at least 10 seconds, until it is thoroughly wet. Do not urinate on the control or result window
  4. Remove the test from the urine stream and replace the protective cap over the wet absorbent tip.
  5. Lay the test wand on a clean, even surface with the viewing windows facing upwards, while you wait for the result. You may notice a pink colour moving across the windows as the test begins to work.
  6. Read results at 3 minutes. Do not read the results after 10 minutes.

Results:

A line should appear in the control window and shows the test is working properly. If no line appears the test is invalid and you should repeat the test with a new dipstick.

If only one coloured line appears in the control window the result is negative. If a second line (the test window) appears below the first line, which is lighter than the first line, then the result is also negative.

If the second line in the test window is of equal or greater colour intensity (darker) than the line in the control window, this is a positive result.

If the test result is positive, repeat the test one week later using the second dipstick to confirm the result. F.S.H. elevates for short periods in normal cycles but it is the extended elevation of F.S.H., which could indicate menopause. If the second test is also positive, your symptoms are probably due to the menopause and you should make an appointment to visit your doctor. If the test is negative but your symptoms persist you should also consult your doctor for advice.

Your doctor may discuss your symptoms with you and undertake further tests, he/she may also discuss the advantages and possible disadvantages of taking Hormone Replacement Therapy (H.R.T.) and give you advice on lifestyle changes.
