It's in the LINKS. I put articles in the FILES section, and links to

places like labs, where to find a doc etc. in the LINKS section.

Probably confusing but that's the way Yahoo has these sites set up.

I do believe they give you info. Hopefully someone who has used them

will be more specific here.

I have used ZRT. I did the estradiol, progesterone, testesterone,

DHEA-S and Cortisol (4xday). They came back with my results, the

normal results, and a letter explaining why they might be off, as

well as suggesting progesterone cream. NOW-I haven't had them

looked at by a professional yet. Will do that in early Nov.

My progesterone came back waaaay low: 57, with 100 being the lowest

in range. My cortisol and DHEA-S came back high in the AM and

cortisol low in evening. I haven't started using progesterone cream

yet...waiting to see what this women's health nurse is going to say.

This was my first time using saliva testing. But, in my mind, the

tests explained what I thought was wrong all along: low

progesterone. As well as a high estrogen/progesterone ratio. This

is what I will work on in Nov. I figure that I have been suffering

so long, whats another cycle?

All along I thought something was blocking my thyroid med from

getting where it needs to get. Maybe this is one of the answers.

I was impressed with the lab's paperwork. Once you have it done,

either you self-medicate or get someone who believes in saliva

testing...thats the chore. I will try that route first, getting

someone who uses saliva testing.

Good luck!

Janie,

Now I feel stupid! After all the looking I did in the FILES... its

in the LINKS! So close, but not nearly close enough.

Wow- what a lot of goodies you have there as well.

Thanks,

S.
