Hi Sarah,
Something to keep in mind when you reach 'that time' in a women's life. Those tests we all heard about were based on prempro, or conjugated horse urine estrogens and synthetic progesterones. The conjugated estrogens, i.e., horse urine, contain 7 estrogens to the 3 that we humans require. That means the liver has to do something with the other 4. Not knowing what the f*** to do, it recirculates and concentrates and eventually turns it into the most potent of estrogens, the kind that induces breast and uterine cancers. Why don't they get it? Because the pharma companies pay for the research and in this case could not find a way to get out of the evidencial truth of the matter and just blamed it on hormones carte blanche.It's really a trajedy because now most women hear about this travesty in women's hormones and don't realize there's an alternative. Bioidentical hormones based upon individual test results.
Saliva tests seem to be an accurate way to measure hormone levels and treatment should be based on these results. But does conventional medicine pay attention? Unfortunately, not. But fortunately, we do have alternatives. Check 'em out. Don't go by what your HMO OB/Gyn suggests.
