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. WHAT WE CAN DO FOR

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. |
