Thyroid Test At Home: Check Your Thyroid Function Yourself
A home thyroid test measures whether your thyroid is functioning properly by detecting TSH levels in your blood. Complaints such as fatigue, weight change and mood swings can indicate a thyroid problem. Test yourself quickly and reliably from home.
What does the thyroid do?
The thyroid gland is a small, butterfly-shaped gland in your neck that produces essential hormones. These hormones regulate:
- Your metabolism (metabolic rate)
- Energy level and fatigue
- Body temperature
- Heart rate and blood pressure
- Mood and concentration
Symptoms of Thyroid problems
Slow thyroid (hypothyroidism):
- Extreme fatigue
- Weight gain for no reason
- Coldness
- Dry skin and hair loss
- Depressive feelings
Rapid thyroid (hyperthyroidism):
- Unexplained weight loss
- Palpitations
- Trembling and nervousness
- Excessive sweating
- Sleep problems
How Does the Thyroid Test Work?
The test measures TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) in a drop of blood. An increased TSH indicates a slow thyroid, a decreased TSH indicates an overly fast thyroid.

Frequently asked questions
How reliable is a thyroid home test?
The Thyroid Function Self-test from The Tester is CE-certified and has high reliability values. It is a good initial screening, but not a replacement for blood tests at your GP’s office.
What does an elevated TSH mean?
An elevated TSH usually indicates hypothyroidism (slow thyroid). Your pituitary gland makes extra TSH to stimulate the thyroid gland.
Can thyroid problems recover spontaneously?
Thyroid problems rarely recover by themselves, but are easily treatable with medication. Early detection prevents serious complications.
Do I have to be sober for the test?
No, you do not have to be sober. You can take the test at any time of the day.
What if my test is abnormal?
Make an appointment with your GP for additional blood tests. Thyroid problems are easily treatable.
