Are you living with a hormone imbalance?
Hormones are chemical messengers that affect the way your cells and organs function. It’s normal for hormone levels to fluctuate over time, such as with your monthly cycle, during pregnancy, or with the onset of menopause.
Research has long shown that fluctuating levels of estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone play a major role in a woman's overall health affecting a variety of conditions including menstrual cycles, sleep patterns, menopause, infertility, polycystic ovarian syndrome, PMS and endometriosis.

The salivary 28 day hormone test is a comprehensive assessment of oestradiol, progesterone, and testosterone over a 28 day period of a female’s regular menstrual cycle. Hormone imbalances reveal the rhythm of hormones and their fluctuations which can help identify the key causes of disorders such as premenstrual syndrome, infertility, and menstrual irregularities.
*This test is suitable for both premenopausal and perimenopausal women not currently supplementing with hormones.
What we test
Androgens
In women androgens are produced in the ovaries, adrenal glands and fat cells. Women may produce too much or too little of these hormones - disorders of androgen excess and deficiency are among the more common hormonal disorders in women.
High levels commonly seen in polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) which can lead to difficulties in conceiving. Symptoms can include irregular periods, loss of hair from the head, excess facial and body hair, unexplained weight gain and acne.
Oestradiol (E2) - 28 day profile
Too much oestrogen is linked to acne, constipation, loss of sex drive, depression, weight gain, PMS, period pain, and thyroid dysfunction. The effects of low oestradiol are evident in menopause and include mood swings, vaginal dryness, hot flashes, night sweats and osteoporosis.
Days 1 to 5 'Menstrual Phase' of the cycle - this is when the uterine lining sheds, resulting in menstrual bleeding and marking the start of a new cycle.
Days 1 to 5 'Menstrual Phase' of the cycle - this is when the uterine lining sheds, resulting in menstrual bleeding and marking the start of a new cycle.
Days 1 to 14 'Follicular Phase' - this is the stage of the cycle where follicles in the ovaries mature, leading to the thickening of the uterine lining in preparation for potential pregnancy.

Day 14 'Midcycle Phase' - known as ovulation, this is when a mature egg is released from the ovary, making it the most fertile time in the menstrual cycle.
Days 15 - 28 'Luteal Phase' - the stage after ovulation where the corpus luteum forms and produces progesterone, preparing the uterus lining for implantation of a fertilised egg.

Progesterone - 28 day profile
Progesterone is the sex hormone produced mainly in the ovaries following ovulation and is a crucial part of the menstrual cycle. Progesterone helps to combat PMS and period pain issues, assists fertility and promotes calmness and quality of sleep.

Progesterone/ Oestrogen Ratio
The progesterone/ oestrogen ratio provides insights into hormonal balance during the menstrual cycle, helping to assess whether there is proper luteal phase function, potential oestrogen dominance, or progesterone deficiency, which can affect fertility, menstrual regularity, and symptoms like PMS.
