I'm not crazy and I finally got the answers I was looking for!
Amazing! I will order this kit again next year to retest! I've been running around to the doctor's offices for the past 5 years since my second child was born. I had noticed health problems. I would have severe pms symptoms which the obgyn has confirmed but all they wanted to do is give antidepressant. I didn't wanted to take that route. I knew something was really wrong with me 2 month out of the month I would feel fine the other 2 I would feel miserable. I felt major back and stomach pain every time I would go on my period with crazy migraines. I would feel moody, sad, aggressive, I would even get major anxiety to a point where I would lay in the bad at night and just shake cause I would feel so cold, my hands would start to tinkle. It was really bad I even had one night before my period where I couldn't sleep at all because the anxiety would be so severe I couldn't go to sleep! With all that said I decided to go to see a holistic doctor which I have been seeing for a year and I have made huge progress but I still felt something was wrong with me I just felt out of balance. I felt like I was getting of something to much or too little. So I decided to get this test and it was so worth it for me! It showed that I was right all along and I wish I would have gotten it way sooner!!!!! I tested way to high for estrogen and my progesterone is too low. I changed my holistic supplements now for the specific issue and I plan on retesting it next year around the same time to see if there is a difference. I'm sure I will be able to tell before the test because I'm hoping I will feel different too! It also turned out that my adrenal is low which makes me feel tired without a end! I sleep 8 hours sometimes more a night and I'm always exhausted! We have 2 kids and a puppy and I work as well so with everything that's going on all day I feel exhausted before the day even starts! Now I have answers and I am so thankful for that! I also bought this book from dr, lee about the female hormones a while back that is how I found out about this test. The book recommends to do a saliva test to get all accurate results and I have to agree. I asked my obgyn to do a hormone balance test before and they took my blood and it came back showing no problems. This saliva test is done in the morning, afternoon, dinner and before bed for the best results possible. Once I did my test I froze all the samples and sent it out the next day which was a Monday by Saturday I had a email with my results! Again I am so thankful for this test it cleared up a lot of my questions!!!!!

Highly recommend
I ordered this test because I’ve been having issues TTC and I really didn’t want to go to the doctor. I suspected I had hormone issues, but I didn’t want to self diagnose and really mess up my body so I gave this a try. The directions are simple and easy to follow. I didn’t particularly enjoy the saliva collection process, but it was easy and just took patience.Once I sent the sample in using the prepaid UPS label, it took about a week to get my results via email. I was very impressed with the detailed results. It not only gave me numbers and graphs, but had recommendations as to how I could help my issues. It’s too soon to say if the changes I’ve made will make a difference, but because of this test I know what’s going on and that alone was worth every penny.

AWFUL. I had tests done by my doctor and it proved the results of this test were entirely wrong
I followed the directions for this test to a T. The results said that I was possibly in menopause, at age 27. No flags with cortisol but this was not a 4 point cortisol saliva test and without testing cortisol levels at other times of the day it is virtually useless.Well, you can image how scared and upset I was upon reading the results. I was in a panic. It meant I wouldn't be able to have kids and a number of other issues. I went to my doctor and had my sex hormones retested by serum, and my cortisol levels tested with a 4 point saliva test. The results were that my sex hormones were at optimal levels, or 'beautiful' as my doctor described them. My cortisol levels however were very depleted and I discovered I had adrenal fatigue. I also ended up discovering I had hypothyroidism.Conclusion: This test is unreliable and gave completely different results than those given by my doctor who is a functional medicine MD. I am genuinely concerned for those taking this test and making lifestyle changes based on it when it can be so wrong.

This gave me the answers I've been looking for.
I recently purchased this test kit and I am so glad I did. For so many years I have been dismissed by doctors, especially in regards to endocrine symptoms and concerns. One doctor would send me to the next, and then they would send me to another. Even two endocrinologists told me, "There's too many hormones and we don't test them." I've also heard, "People your age don't have these symptoms, we're not going to test them, (I'm in my mid thirties)" or "Your results from a year ago look good. Everything is normal." Sadly, I know this is a normal occurrence for many women (which is not okay). Within this past year, my symptoms have continued to evolve. I knew something was off, but I just didn't know what. And no doctor or specialist has taken me seriously in regards to any of these symptoms. I just get, "Well, keep an eye it." Okay, then what?! When I came across this saliva test, I was beside myself. Finally, here's an option available to me to help me find the answers I'm looking for. I don't need to endure another doctor visit where I'm going to be dismissed yet again or be denied testing. Tests like this are a blessing for folks like me who just want to be proactive and find out exactly what's happening. We know our bodies and can feel when something is wrong. Now, we have access to this wonderful test to help us in our journey to feeling better. I ordered this test and had a positive experience. It was very easy and straight forward. All you need to do is follow the directions inside. Within a week I received an email from the lab and created an account (it's free) to access my results. Once in your account, you can see if they are still processing your sample or if it's completed. Once it's done, you can download/save your results. My results were 5 pages long. They show you the levels of your hormones, provide graphs, and a chart regarding your symptoms, and they also provide lab comments, which is helpful. Having this piece of information has been monumental in helping me decide my next step. I am grateful that this type of resource is available. Since receiving my results, I now have a new plan in place to help give my body what it needs. I will definitely purchase another test in a few months to monitor progress. I highly recommend this provider and this saliva test for those who are looking for answers regarding their hormones. It was delivered quickly, it was easy to use, and the results are pretty easy to follow.
