Description
Many hormonal imbalances that women experience in their menstruating years are too often accepted as ‘just a normal part of being a woman’. Nevertheless, despite being common, if and when symptoms do arise, they should be viewed for what they are – a system ‘out of balance’. And as such, are not something that needs to be endured, but instead addressed and resolved once the underlying causes of the imbalance are identified and treated.
What can hormones out of balance look like? Often signs of low progesterone go hand in hand with sign of excess oestrogen, below are some of the symptoms that can occur:

*Please note this test is for those who have a regular cycle (25-35 day cycle). Your saliva test should be conducted 7 days after ovulation; generally if your cycle is a 28 day cycle, ovulation occurs mid cycle (around day 14) so in this case you would test on day 21 of your menstrual cycle. If it is a longer cycle (you add days), if it is a shorter cycle (subtract days). For example a 30 day cycle we suggest adding 2 days and therefore testing day 23. Where as a shorter i.e. 26 day cycle, we would suggest testing day 19. If your cycle is irregular we suggest this package to start with or booking in an initial for personalised recommendations regarding testing.
**This saliva test is not suitable for those who are on the hormonal contraceptive pill or hormonal IUDs. We recommended waiting 3 months post hormonal contraceptive use before taking this test.
