Thanks Tibetanprincess I don't think I'm entirely guessing, but when I think about the experience of women like you, lled34aa, or Mel, It does make me worry that there might be an important underlying reason why I didn't respond to my last program. My new program is based around BBT, which is a relatively reliable method, but it only gives a very rough picture of overall progesterone/estrogen balance. It obviously can't tell me my exact levels of these hormones, and it says nothing at all about most of my other hormones. Ive been trying to decide whether it's worthwhile for me to order a hormone test. If I do get one, I don't know if Ill spring for an extremely thorough test or a simpler one. Im also concerned that Ill need several tests over the course of a cycle in order to get meaningful results. I suppose that a single test could produce meaningful results if some of the values turn out to be very far outside the normal range, but some hormones might not reveal abnormal levels unless theyre tested across the whole cycle. I have to think about whether it's really worth my while to take these tests. I wouldn't drag my feet if it weren't for the fact that I don't have any tell tale signs of hormone imbalance.

Does anyone have any theories about what kind of hormone imbalance might keep someone from responding to Wahaika's basic program as described in my last program thread? I mentioned the possibilty of estrogen dominance, but I admit that I just pulled that explanation out of my butt because it happens to be such a common scapegoat for NBE failure (and for good reason). I have no symptoms of estrogen dominance whatsoever.
