"You should get a free estradiol and free testosterone level done (best between 8-10AM)."

I saw this in an "Ask The Clinician" post, when someone was inquiring about peri-menopause. I have reason to believe that I have a few problems related to fluctuating hormone levels and so I asked my GYN if he could test my levels. He asked me if I was still having a regular period. When I told him I was, he said that testing wouldn't tell me anything. Is this true? If not, where can I go to have these levels checked?

Thanks So Much,

~Sandi~

Sandi,

Doesn't sound right to me, but I could be wrong. You could send it to Ask the Clinician. If you'd like to do that, please use THIS FORM.

BTW, I know I still owe you a reply in a thread a bit below this one. I'll do my best to reply tomorrow when my eyes (and fingers) are fresher.

Sorry I don't have a ready answer for you.

The generally long periods of time between my Migraines are the result of working with a Migraine specialist to refine my preventive regimen. You can see my current regimen HERE.
