What is the Estradiol Test?

The estradiol test measures estradiol (E2), the main and most active form of oestrogen. It shows how well the ovaries are working and is used to look at periods, fertility treatment, menopause and, in men, causes of hormone imbalance.

Estradiol Test normal range

MeasurementTypical adult value
Women, early follicular phaseabout 12–166 pg/mL
Women, mid-cycle peakabout 85–498 pg/mL
Women, luteal phaseabout 43–211 pg/mL
Women, after menopauseusually below about 30 pg/mL
Menabout 10–40 pg/mL

Estradiol swings widely through the menstrual cycle, so the day of the cycle matters, and results differ between assays. Pregnancy, birth control pills and hormone therapy all change it. The range on your own report governs.

Ranges differ between laboratories and methods. The reference range printed on your own report is the one to read your result against.

What your Estradiol Test result means

Low (before menopause)
Can occur with low body weight, heavy exercise, premature ovarian insufficiency, or pituitary or hypothalamic problems. It is read with FSH, LH and AMH.
Low (after menopause)
Expected. Levels fall as the ovaries stop making oestrogen.
High (women)
Can be normal near ovulation or during fertility treatment. Persistently high levels are less common and may need tests for an ovarian cause.
High (men)
Can be seen with obesity, liver disease or some medicines, and rarely with a hormone-producing tumour.

One result is not a diagnosis. A doctor reads it with your symptoms, history, medicines and other tests.

Frequently asked questions

What is an estradiol (E2) test?
It measures the level of estradiol, the strongest natural oestrogen, in blood. Doctors use it to understand cycles, fertility, menopause and hormone treatment.
On which day of the cycle should estradiol be tested?
It depends on why it is being checked. For a baseline fertility workup, doctors often ask for day 2 to 5 of the period; during IVF the timing is set by the treating team.
Do I need to fast for an estradiol test?
Fasting is not usually required. Tell the laboratory if you take biotin supplements, birth control pills or hormone therapy, as these can affect the result or its reading.
Does a normal estradiol mean my hormones are fine?
A single value is only a snapshot. Because estradiol changes through the cycle, doctors usually read it with FSH, LH, AMH or ultrasound rather than alone.
Why would a man have an estradiol test?
In men, a small amount of oestrogen is normal, but raised levels can cause breast enlargement or lower testosterone effects. A doctor may add testosterone and LH to find the cause.
