We are unable to determine if you are menopausal
The menopause test results indicate that we are unable to determine if you are going through menopause or not, because you are using a hormonal contraceptive. Taking hormonal contraceptives can mask signs of approaching menopause. A urine test may provide a conclusive result. We would be happy to provide more information about menopause and symptoms associated with it. Remember, menopause is inevitable, but suffering is not!
Meno-Check: a urine self-test
Many women between the ages of 40 and 50 wonder if the symptoms they are experiencing are a sign of menopause. A urine test can provide an answer to this question, even if certain types of hormonal contraception are used. Hormonal contraception can contain either oestrogen plus progestin, or progestin only. A urine test does not work if you are taking a combined oestrogen-progestin contraceptive pill. If you are taking a progestin-only pill, it may provide a conclusive result.

Menopause: what is happening in your body?
The transition from menstruation to menopause, also called perimenopause or the menopausal transition, is marked by a period in which your ovaries gradually produce less of the female sex hormones oestrogen and progesterone. While every woman's experience is different, there are basically three stages of menopause, each stage with associated menopausal symptoms. All women's bodies undergo changes during these stages.

How do contraceptive pills affect (the symptoms of) menopause?
If you are experiencing a regular monthly period, there's a very good chance that you are fertile. Therefore, many women, including perimenopausal women, use contraceptives to prevent getting pregnant. However, using birth control after age 50 can raise your risk for certain health problems. It’s important to be aware of this. A doctor explains these risks in our blog on the use of contraceptives during menopause.
