[Guest guest]

From what I know about this last I hear it's good for women. Not good for men

men can't test sex hormones by saliva.

The advice on Saliva tests for sex hormones is that they are reliable

as long as you are not using topical creams for sex hormones

I was using topical progest cream, but i only used it for 21 days, and stopped

about a month ago... would this affect the saliva test?

thanks again!!!
