OOPS! I JUST REALIZED I POSTED THIS IN THE ARCHIVE.... REPOSTING IN THE MAIN ESTROGEN DOMINANCE AND PCOS FORUM NOW....!
I know this Q may have been asked before, but I haven't found a clear answer for it yet...
Does anybody have experience with the saliva hormone tests? I don't have health insurance and the blood tests at clinics are too expensive ($60+ per hormone, on top of the $150 office visit, which would amount to about $400), so I'm considering ordering one of the kits online, or sending in a saliva sample.
I don't have any major symptoms, but still suspect that I MAY have a slight estrogen excess or dominance, or possibly low adrenal function. The saliva tests seem like a good option, if they're accurate.
Any comments? Advice??
