Hormonal Tests for Women Who Are Still Cycling
Since you are still cycling your hormones change daily, so you will be collecting saliva samples every 2 to 3 days for a month. The results will show 11 values of each of the hormones we are testing for.
You will make the sample and store them in the freezer and then mail them to the lab at the end of the month. Everything you need to mail the tests is included in the kits. You pay the lab when you send it in.
The full instructions are in the kits and on line in the link below, but I am writing this to give you an overview.
