Hi ,

I know we went through this before, did you find further clarification of

why, and which lab disagrees?

The endocrinologist at Diagnostech, Dr Kamal, said to me that that you

should be off TOPICAL progesterone for 6-8 weeks, because,

" Topical progesterone is very famous for causing a significant elevation in

salivary progesterone level which does not necessarily correlate with other

tissue level " .

I found many other sources when googling: " topical progesterone; falsely

elevated saliva test " .

Do you have other sources so that we can get to the bottom of this important

question?

Thanks,

Dean

Hi guys,

I have never used DiagnosTechs, so not familiar with them, but at ZRT, they

have different reference ranges for when you are *not* using any progresterone

cream and when you are.

My sister's doctor wants her off progesterone cream for at least 2 months

before she does a month long hormone test, but I believe it is through Genova

lab (Great Smokies).

So that's about all I know about this.
