[QUOTE="Nelson Vergel, post: 191893, member: 3"] If you still have a menstrual cycle, timing of the month for estradiol and progesterone test is essential. Wrong timing will often render your lab result useless because at certain times of the month, healthy women with normal and suboptimal hormone profile will have similar numbers to menopausal/peri-menopausal women. During early follicular phase, E and P are naturally very low and in the menopausal range, even if you are a healthy 28 year old with fully functioning ovaries and fertility. So testing on the wrong days does not give you any useful data on your ovarian function See below to get an accurate visual idea of how extreme the fluctuations in E and P are through out the menstrual cycle and how closely the levels look to menopausal at certain periods of the month: SOURCE: [URL="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16776638/"]Establishment of detailed reference values for luteinizing hormone, follicle stimulating hormone, estradiol, and progesterone during different phases of the menstrual cycle on the Abbott ARCHITECT analyzer - PubMed[/URL] [ATTACH type="full"]11953[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]11954[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
