Who should take the test?

A progesterone deficiency involves a number of unpleasant complaints for the women affected because progesterone has many positive characteristics. Studies show that progesterone is a natural antidepressant, has a calming effect, and can help counteract fears. Additionally, a low progesterone level is often accompanied by depressive moods, fatigue and anxiety attacks. Progesterone also has a natural dehydrating effect and counteracts breast tenderness, it strengthens the immune system, protects our bones, and reduces cravings for sweets.

As a healthy balance between estrogen and progesterone is important for female well-being, when suffering from a progesterone deficiency, it is essential to determine not only the absolute values but also the ratio between estrogen and progesterone.

The test analyzes the morning values of the following hormones:

Estradiol
Progesterone

Our Progesterone Deficiency Test gives you more information about the ratio of progesterone to estrogen in your body and allows you to identify the underlying cause for your complaints.

For the Progesterone Saliva Test we analyse:

Estradiol
Progesterone

Estradiol and Progesterone

Estrogens are the most important of the female sex hormones. Estrogen is actually made up of a group of hormones, but Estradiol is biologically the most active during the fertile years of women.

It is responsible for:

The development of the female body, from girl to woman
The monthly regeneration and protection of the endometrium (womb)
Breast growth
The elasticity of the blood vessels
Radiant skin and healthy hair
Moist eyes and mucous membranes
Clear thinking processes
Stabilisation of moods

Progesterone is produced by the ovaries shortly after ovulation in order to prepare the uterus for a possible pregnancy and to protect the mucous lining of the uterus. Together with Estrogen, the most important of the female sex hormones, progesterone regulates the menstrual cycle.

The sensitive balance between estrogen and progesterone

Estrogen values tend to fluctuate throughout a woman’s lifetime, not just during the menstrual cycle. The strength of these fluctuations is different for each individual and the body reacts to them with different symptoms. It is not just a deficiency in Estrogen that can cause physical complaints: an excess, or Estrogen dominance, can cause a variety of unpleasant symptoms, such as water retention, nausea, depressive moods, tiredness, listlessness, lack of concentration, anxiety, breast sensitivity, cysts and fibroids, painful menstruation, and weight gain.

Although it may sound contradictory, an Estrogen dominance can occur at the same time as an Estrogen deficiency due to the fine, coordinated balance between Estrogen and progesterone. The Estrogen levels define how much progesterone is needed. An Estrogen dominance can occur if the body is not producing enough progesterone for the level of Estrogen. This means it can also occur if the body is not producing enough Estrogen (Estrogen deficiency) if the body is also not producing the relative amount of progesterone.

Therefore, in the case of an Estrogen deficiency it is important to not only determine the absolute values of the individual hormones, but also the ratio of Estrogen to progesterone.

Symptoms the Progesterone Saliva Test is suitable for:

Concentration difficulties
Fatigue
Depressive moods
Water retention
Sensitive breasts
Cysts
Painful menstruation

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the difference to a doctor's blood test and why can the results vary significantly?

Blood tests are unable to distinguish the protein-bound (inactive) from the freely available and active hormones and thus give an approximate value. Why is that important? Because the blood values can be within the normal range, but if you look at the active hormones, deficiencies or excesses can also be found. Blood tests also show the hormone levels outside the cells in the serum and do not reflect the other levels in the body where they are actually active.

Why do saliva tests make more sense with transdermal hormone replacement therapy?

If you use transdermal hormones as part of hormone replacement therapy (i.e. absorbed through the skin), blood values are not accurate for the check. This is because hormones once absorbed into the blood through the skin bind to the red blood cell membranes to minimize adverse interactions with the aqueous plasma, since most hormones "love fat" and thus prefer to bind to fats. As soon as your blood sample is taken, it is usually centrifuged and the red blood cells together with the hormones are removed before analysis. This phenomenon has been described by Stanczyk et al. (2005) (see references) for transdermal progesterone. But it also seems to occur to a small extent for all other hormones. That Even after using transdermal progesterone for several weeks, blood serum tests do not show a strong increase in the level of progesterone, while saliva tests show an increase after only a few hours. This can be a problem when monitoring progesterone levels while using transdermal hormone creams.
