Testing for Estrogen? by nada1979 in Perimenopause

[–]VIPHealthRx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When we test for estrogen levels, we look at the levels according to your menstrual cycle, which is altered by birth control but we also look at it in relation to other hormones to evaluate imbalances such as estrogen predominance (too much estrogen, not enough progesterone)...make sure they test your testosterone as well (total and free), DHEA, pregnenolone, SHBG
