[QUOTE="Nelson Vergel, post: 119617, member: 3"] From Allison Woodworth: [B]Is there a better or specific time to get labs done in terms of the menstrual cycle? [/B] "Most prefer female labs drawn on day 19-21 since this is when the body’s peak level of progesterone is produced. Also, sometimes progesterone is only taken cyclically during the luteal phase for estrogen dominance so we want the labs drawn when they are actually taking the progesterone and to see how high the level is when combined with the body’s peak level of production. If someone is only prescribing testosterone to women then I can see how they may recommend having them drawn on a different cycle day, per this article. I have found that this is not a great strategy though since pre-menopausal woman are very likely to experience estrogen dominance symptoms when prescribed testosterone (at a therapeutic dose) when it’s not balanced with a low-dose progesterone. If progesterone is not prescribed they are not likely to tolerate a testosterone dose high enough to significantly improve their symptoms." [/QUOTE]
