Forth PCOS blood test reviews

Would not recommend

Deeply disappointed, unreliable results, and poor customer service I purchased a home blood test kit from Forth to check my prolactin levels due to ongoing health concerns. Despite following all instructions perfectly — fasting, testing first thing in the morning, avoiding physical activity or stress — I received an alarming result of over 2,000 mU/L. Shocked, I immediately repeated the test through my GP using a proper venous blood draw in an NHS lab, and the result came back as ~500 mU/L, which is completely normal. Prolactin does not fluctuate that dramatically unless there’s a serious medical issue or a clear testing error — and no such issue exists in my case. I raised this with Forth and was told the home kit was reliable, despite well-documented medical evidence that prolactin is too unstable to be tested accurately using finger-prick, mail-in kits. These results caused unnecessary distress and wasted NHS resources ( urgent appointment GP, urgent referral to endocrinologist, urgent eye test in case of pituitary tumor). In return, they offered only a 10% refund after a full week of silence, which is frankly insulting given the emotional and financial cost. If you need hormone testing — especially for prolactin — go through a proper lab and avoid this company. Their testing method for sensitive hormones is scientifically flawed, and their customer care dismissive when concerns are raised. I won’t be using them again.
