How will often do women need to have their hormonal levels checked?
During peri–menopause (when a woman starts to have irregular lengths of cycles and heavier, lighter or absent periods), a woman’s hormones can fluctuate very rapidly. If her medical doctor allows her to adjust the dosage of her bio–identical hormones, she may only need to be tested once before she is fully into menopause. Women who are menopausal or post menopausal, should consider doing the salivary hormonal test at least once a year as a woman’s hormonal level is affected both by aging and by stressful events in her life.
