How does one know whether they are receiving adequate amounts of replacement hormones?
Blood tests determine deficiencies. Symptomatic relief over the course of several weeks, as the body adjusts to its newly restored hormonal levels, is the first indication of proper replacement therapy. Subsequent blood testing and dosage adjustments will bring blood levels and tissue levels to proper norms for the patient to realize the full benefit of Hormone Replacement Therapy. Individual patients absorb, assimilate, metabolize and respond to hormones differently; we want hormone levels to be optimal and protective.

Blood tests determine deficiencies. Blood tests also determine whether adequate replacement has been prescribed. All people will absorb, assimilate, and respond to hormones differently than others. If the proper level (and therefore tissue level) is not achieved, then the full benefit of hormone replacement is not realized. We want hormone levels to be optimal and protective.
