What Is the Comprehensive Female Profile II?

The Comprehensive Female Profile II is the most complete hormone assessment available for women. This advanced test measures 12 critical biomarkers across three interconnected hormone systems—sex hormones, adrenal hormones, and thyroid hormones—to give you a complete picture of your hormonal health.

These hormone systems don’t work in isolation; they work in harmony. An imbalance in one system affects the balance of the others. This comprehensive test helps identify the root causes of your symptoms and guides your healthcare provider in creating a personalized treatment plan to restore hormone balance and improve your overall health.

Perfect for women experiencing:

  • Persistent fatigue and exhaustion despite adequate sleep
  • Unexplained weight gain or inability to lose weight
  • Mood swings, anxiety, irritability, or depression
  • Hot flashes, night sweats, or other menopausal symptoms
  • Low libido or sexual dysfunction
  • Brain fog, memory issues, or difficulty concentrating
  • Sleep disturbances or insomnia
  • Hair loss or thinning hair
  • Irregular periods or PMS symptoms
  • Chronic stress or burnout
  • Dry skin, brittle nails, or premature aging

Why This Test Matters

Your hormones are the chemical messengers that control virtually every function in your body—from metabolism and energy to mood, sleep, weight, libido, and aging. When your hormones are out of balance, you feel it everywhere.

Most conventional testing only looks at one hormone system at a time, missing the bigger picture. The Comprehensive Female Profile II evaluates all three major hormone systems together, revealing how they interact and where imbalances are occurring.

This test is especially valuable if:

  • You have multiple unexplained symptoms that don’t seem connected
  • Your doctor says your labs are “normal” but you still feel terrible
  • You’re in perimenopause or menopause and struggling with symptoms
  • You’re experiencing chronic stress, fatigue, or burnout
  • You’re on hormone therapy but not seeing improvement
  • You want to optimize your hormones proactively for longevity and vitality
  • You suspect thyroid, adrenal, or sex hormone issues but don’t know where to start

Biomarkers Tested (12 Total)

This comprehensive panel measures three interconnected hormone systems:

Sex Hormones (7 Biomarkers)
  1. Estradiol (E2) – The most potent estrogen; affects mood, bone health, cardiovascular health, skin, libido, and more
  2. Estrone (E1) – Dominant estrogen after menopause; elevated levels may increase health risks
  3. Estriol (E3) – Protective estrogen; important during pregnancy and for breast/uterine health
  4. Progesterone – Balances estrogen; essential for menstrual regularity, fertility, mood stability, sleep, and bone health
  5. Testosterone – Supports libido, muscle mass, energy, motivation, and cognitive function in women
  6. DHEA-S – Precursor hormone for sex hormones; reflects adrenal function and aging
  7. Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin (SHBG) – Protein that binds sex hormones; affects hormone availability and metabolism
Thyroid Hormones (3 Biomarkers)
  1. Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH) – Brain signal to thyroid; first indicator of thyroid dysfunction
  2. Free Thyroxine (Free T4) – Inactive thyroid hormone; must convert to T3 for activity
  3. Free Triiodothyronine (Free T3) – Active thyroid hormone that powers metabolism, energy, and cellular function
  4. Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies (TPO) – Detects Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and autoimmune thyroid disease
Adrenal Hormones (1 Biomarker)
  1. Cortisol – Your primary stress hormone; regulates energy, blood sugar, inflammation, immune function, and stress response

Why these markers matter together: Sex hormones, thyroid hormones, and adrenal hormones are deeply interconnected. Chronic stress (high cortisol) can suppress thyroid function and sex hormone production. Low thyroid function can worsen estrogen dominance. Estrogen imbalances can affect cortisol and thyroid hormone metabolism. Testing all three systems reveals the complete story.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this test covered by insurance?

This is a cash-pay test and is not billed to insurance. However, you can submit for HSA/FSA reimbursement, and we provide documentation to support your claim.

How is this different from testing my doctor can order?

This test is far more comprehensive than standard hormone panels. Most doctors only test TSH for thyroid and maybe estradiol and progesterone for sex hormones. This test measures 12 biomarkers across three hormone systems, uses at-home collection for convenience, and provides functional medicine interpretation using optimal ranges—not just “normal” ranges.

Why do I need to test all three hormone systems?

Your sex hormones, thyroid hormones, and adrenal hormones are deeply interconnected. Chronic stress affects thyroid and sex hormone production. Low thyroid function worsens estrogen dominance. Estrogen imbalances affect cortisol metabolism. Testing all three systems together reveals the root cause of your symptoms and prevents missed diagnoses.

When should I collect my sample if I’m still menstruating?

For the most accurate progesterone measurement, collect on Day 19-21 of your cycle (Day 1 = first day of menstrual bleeding). If you have irregular cycles, contact us for guidance.

Can I do this test if I’m on hormone replacement therapy?

Yes! This test is excellent for monitoring hormone therapy effectiveness. Collect your sample 12-24 hours after your last dose (or as directed by your provider) to assess your levels while on treatment.

What if my results show hormone imbalances?

If your results indicate hormone imbalances, you can schedule a consultation with your ForwardFlow Health provider to discuss personalized treatment options, including bioidentical hormone therapy, thyroid optimization, adrenal support, nutritional interventions, and lifestyle modifications.

Do I need a doctor’s order for this test?

ForwardFlow Health provides the clinical oversight for this test. Your order is reviewed and authorized by our licensed provider.

What states can order this test?

This test is available in states where we are fully operational including CO, DC, IA, KS, MD, NV, WY, MT, ME, SD, NE, OR, and WA.

How soon will I get my results?

Results are typically available 7 days after the lab receives your sample. You’ll be notified via email when your results are ready to view in your secure patient portal.

Is the blood spot collection painful?

Most women find the finger-prick collection quick and relatively painless—similar to checking blood sugar. The kit includes a lancet device that makes collection easy. Detailed instructions and tips are included.

Can I order this test for someone else?

Yes, you can purchase this test as a gift. The recipient will need to complete the patient information and consent forms when they receive the kit.
