I was thinking about my hormones today. I've been slowly reading through the lovely missboobshirt's program page because she's stuffed so much useful information into it (seriously, everyone trying NBE should go read through all the great resources she's been generous enough to share in her thread). As I read through, I started to realize that I, like her, might be estrogen-dominant. I have most of the signs of it.

Then I was thinking about my testosterone levels and decided to do some research. I was shocked. Normal testosterone levels for women are 15-70 ng/dL according to this page: https://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency...003707.htm Some pages even said 12-60. My testosterone is 90 ng/dL! Good grief!

So... am I both estrogen-dominant and testosterone-dominant? No wonder I'm such a mess.

I heard you should test E and P and T at the same time, they work in synchronicity or to that effect. Plus bloods aren't reliable and measure the three together by saliva and maybe your not that bad? I just wish I could get saliva done and npbe donevwith it you know.. If I WAS peri meno then taking hormone blood tests means squat cause they fluctuate too much..
