Measure Your Hormones. Get Answers. Take Action.

This blood spot panel measures two main female sex hormones estradiol and progesterone, and the male sex hormone, (an androgen) testosterone.

Estradiol

Estradiol, also called oestradiol, is the strongest of the three estrogens produced by the body. It’s highest during a woman’s 20’s after which it begins falling. By her mid-to late 40’s, a woman’s estradiol may be half of what it was 20 years earlier. At menopause and after, the body nearly stops making estradiol and symptoms of estrogen imbalance may be most distressing.

It’s also possible to have too much estrogen. Either way — whether too high or too low — estrogen imbalance can disrupt progesterone and testosterone levels. It’s all about balance.

Testosterone’s Role In Women

Testosterone is a main driver of women’s libido and supports cognitive function. It’s also a precursor hormone to estrogen and progesterone. This means that estrogen and progesterone derive from testosterone.

Why Test Progesterone Levels?

Checking your progesterone may help identify why you may not be feeling like yourself. Low or high progesterone is linked to irregular menstrual cycles, impaired cognitive health, breast tenderness, fibrocystic breasts, gallbladder problems and more.
