I would like to have tested my levels of Estrogen, Progesterone, DHEA and possibly other hormones.
I am a recently postmenopausal woman, considering HRT.
I expect my insurer would fight any testing beyond estrogen and progesterone, so I plan to do this outside of insurance if I have to.
I think I can order my own through LEF.
Is there any consensus on testing through saliva vs. blood vs. urine for these?
In terms of accuracy, etc. - actually I am probably leaning toward a full hormonal panel and I am interested in knowing what's worthwhile and what may be a waste of time.
Any reliable resources for researching this or based on your own knowledge/experience? thank you
