Product Information

During menopause, we know that your estradiol levels and progesterone levels WILL fall dramatically. This time is a period of great fluctuation, both in terms of your symptoms and in terms of your lab tests and hormones. Testosterone (free and total)(8) – Testosterone is important for both men and women. Testosterone, in women, helps to manage lean muscle mass, and helps promote weight loss and even libido. Always test testosterone in conjunction with other sex hormones (estrogen + progesterone). It may work for some women, but there will be plenty of women who will continue to experience significant symptoms. Does a positive test mean you are in menopause? A positive test indicates that you may be in a stage of menopause. If you have a positive test, or if you have any symptoms of menopause, you should see your doctor. Do not stop taking contraceptives based on the results of these tests because they are not foolproof and you could become pregnant.

menopause in women who have not had a period for at least 12 months and are not using hormonal contraception It may surprise you to know that most women are diagnosed with menopause simply from symptoms alone and based on their age. All women who suspect they are in menopause ( or perimenopause) can benefit from routine hormone testing.She accused the companies of using misleading information about “FSH sometimes being a helpful marker of menopause” and called the perimenopause a “hormone rollercoaster”.

Perimenopause The time in which a woman has irregular cycles of ovulation and menstruation leading up to menopause and continuing until 12 months after her final period. Perimenopause is also known as the menopausal transition or climacteric. Testosterone (free and total)– Both free and total testosterone tend to drop during menopause and may contribute to weight gain, decreased libido, and other issues. Serum estradiol– Estradiol drops in about 60% of women down to very low levels (sometimes less than the detectable level by lab tests). Up to 40% of women may retain some estradiol during menopause but the value is almost always very low.It’s also helpful to understand what happens to these values during menopause so that you can understand where you are at in your transition. Instead, it’s best to combine both your symptoms and use them in conjunction with your lab tests (listed above).

What is menopause? Menopause is the stage in your life when menstruation stops for at least 12 months. The time before this is called perimenopause and could last for several years. You may reach menopause in your early 40's or as late as your 60's. It’s simply to provide your body with the exact replica of the youthful hormone that your body has been used to for decades (since you started menstruating) to help reduce your symptoms and improve your quality of life. Postmenopause The time after menopause has occurred, starting when a woman has not had a period for 12 consecutive months. HRT has been shown in many studies to completely reverse the symptoms associated with menopause in a matter of days. Women who suffer from early menopause may be pushed aside as having depression as opposed to true ovarian failure/menopause.

FSH (Follicle stimulating hormone)– During menopause FSH will INCREASE. An FSH of 40 IU/L or higher is a strong marker for menopause (9). Once you know that you are in menopause then you can explore treatments such as HRT to help manage your symptoms. It’s not helpful for women to access [FSH] directly,” she said. “It is not a reliable marker of perimenopause and can cause more confusion among women taking the test. At worst, misinterpretation of results can cause harm.” Serum estradiol(6) – Estradiol is the most powerful estrogen in the female body and this hormone helps to promote breast tissue growth, endometrial growth, manage your mood, your appetite, and even your weight. Estradiol declines (along with progesterone) to near-zero levels in many women during menopause. Most of the symptoms associated with menopause stem from the decline of this hormone. Estradiol can be given to women in the form of biest (or other formulations) to help eliminate the symptoms of menopause.

In this guide, you will learn more about the best tests for menopause, how to identify if you are in this transition period, the symptoms associated with this transition, and how to use your lab tests to help you with treatment options.What does this test do? This is a home-use test kit to measure Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) in your urine. This may help indicate if you are in menopause or perimenopause. Diagnosing the following without laboratory tests in otherwise healthy women aged over 45 years with menopausal symptoms: The good news is that there is a VERY effective treatment for menopause known as hormone replacement therapy or HRT. What type of test is this? This is a qualitative test -- you find out whether or not you have elevated FSH levels, not if you definitely are in menopause or perimenopause. It marks a dramatic shift in hormone balance in the female body and one in which all of the “normal” hormones that a woman is used to suddenly decline to incredibly low levels (1).
