I would say if you are not on any su;pplements it is accurate.

I'm not on any yet, so would the proestrogene have been a good reading? The

testosterone he did was free and total. The serum one was 39 with a range of

14-76. The free (direct) was 1.0 with a range of 0.0-2.2.

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy

enough people to make it worth the effort. Herm Albright

Rie,

The best place to find out about what our sex hormone levels should be

is to read Vliet, Reiss, and Gillespie. Vliet's books seem very

balanced to me and her estrogen and testosterone numbers seem good.

Vliet is doing radio blogs now. You can go to her web site and find

out lots of info: www.herplace.com

It is good to know what all the good authors think so that you are not

getting just a one sided opinion. Then when you go to your doctor and

he tells you that an estrogen level in the 20s-30s is " fine " then you

will KNOW that your doctor does not have a clue.

Even the authors that I listed have differing opinions. For example

Vliet and Reiss will typically recommend estrogen and testosterone for

women but Gillespie does not typically like testosterone for women.

Gillespie and Vliet will recommend topical estradiol in an alcohol

base but Reiss will recommend topical biest or triest which is

estradiol plus estriol and estrone (estrone if triest). Vliet and

Gillespie will say that you do not need progesterone if you have had a

hysterectomy but Reiss will say that you do need it.... Knowing the

different opinions gives you the power to decide for yourself what is

best and not just give in to want a misinformed doctor may recommend.

When you get tested, make sure and test on a low estrogen day

otherwise your doctor may tell you that you are " fine " when maybe

earlier in the month you had low estrogen. A " fine " level to him may

mean not getting a RX for estradiol.
