So I wanted to get a baseline as to what my hormones are doing. My doctor refused to test me because IMHO she is an idiot. So I ordered saliva testing off amazon. I tested originally in July during the follicular phase. I wanted to see what my results looked like at the base levels. One day after TOM ended. My estrogen was slightly low and my progesterone was very low.

Then I bought another test and tested during my luteal phase. 6 days prior to getting my period. This should have been when my estrogen and progesterone were higher. My estrogen was higher.. not by a lot. But my progesterone was exactly the same. How can that be? The result was very low.

I have to assume there was some error unless anyone knows if that is reasonable for some reason. My doctor did test my FSH and that apparently says I am not close to menopause.
