I tried posting this in the Estrogen Dominance and PCOS forum, but I didn't get any replies.... Please help....
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??
