Ever
laugh or cry or get mad or get hungry? That's your hormones hard
at work. Hormones can affect many vital functions in your body.
That's why keeping your hormones in their proper balance is essential
to the way you live. For women, FemaleCheck by BodyBalance
can help you monitor hormone levels.
Here's
something you should know: hormones don't just control sexual
function and activity. Hormones affect your body physically and
emotionally. Estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone have a
strong influence over women's health:
|
•
PMS
•
Menstrual cycle
•
Pregnancy
•
Menopause
• Skin elasticity
|
•
Lean body mass
•
Muscle and bone development
•
Sleep patterns
• Various physical and emotional responses
|
These
are just some of the major areas these three hormones influence.
Thus, keeping your hormones in their proper balance is essential
to living well.

When
to collect...
To accurately measure your hormone levels, you should always collect
saliva at approximately the same time of day-- we suggest first
thing in the morning.
In
measuring levels of estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone,
we recommend the following sample collection schedule: If you
are menstruating normally or even sporadically, please collect
saliva on day 20, 21, or 22 after the first day of your last period.
(It may be helpful for you to mark the appropriate days on your
calendar). If you are skipping periods for months at a time or
are post-menopausal, you may collect at any time.
Special Note:
FemaleCheck
reports baseline levels of hormones and reference ranges for these
levels. These ranges should not be used when hormone replacement
therapy is in progress or if you are using birth control pills
or other medications affecting hormone levels.
