The present invention provides a portable menopausal phase monitor with which subjects can learn if they are menopausal, and if so, which phase they are at by using a body fluid such as urine, blood, or the like, as a test sample. A menopausal phase monitor of the present invention may have the following configuration: an absorbent member capable of migrating a sample by capillary action, the absorbent member composed of (a) a sample application zone for receiving and absorbing a sample; (b) an FSH reaction site carrying labeled anti-follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) antibodies, and an LH reaction site carrying labeled anti-luteinizing hormone (LH) antibodies; (c-1) an FSH detection zone provided with at least two FSH control displays with unlabeled anti-(anti-FSH antibody) antibodies immobilized thereon, and an FSH test result display with unlabeled anti-FSH antibodies immobilized thereon disposed at intervals, (c-2) an LH detection zone provided with at least two LH control displays with unlabeled anti-(anti-LH antibody) antibodies immobilized thereon, and an LH test result display with unlabeled anti-LH control display with unlabeled anti-(anti-LH antibody) antibodies immobilized thereon disposed at intervals; and (d) a sample collection zone for collecting residual sample that has migrated.
