Nonetheless, when it arrives off schedule it can be a cause for concern, especially if you are experiencing other challenges including trying to become pregnant. Whether you want to assess your reproductive health or want to gain insight on irregular cycles, this convenient at-home test provides a comprehensive look at a broad range of hormones, so you can gain valuable insight about how to address potential imbalances at a root cause level.
The female body is nothing if not complex! While we consider estrogen and progesterone to be the main female sex hormones, there is much more to consider when struggling to become pregnant or when trying to get the bottom of irregular cycles. In addition to these main hormones (and their ratios), this test also looks at testosterone, DHEA, a full range of thyroid hormones as well as those related to ovulation and egg implantation. Additionally, the stress hormone cortisol is included to ensure an in-depth assessment of your biggest (and most sensitive) health challenges.

The good news is that there is a convenient at-home test that will provide and in-depth evaluation on a range of sex and related hormones so that you can feel confident and supported in the next steps, addressing potential imbalances at the root cause level.

Cortisol, the body's stress hormone, is made from precursors that include progesterone. If stress levels are high on an ongoing basis, progesterone levels may decrease, disrupting the balance of estrogen and progesterone in the body.
Additionally, cortisol can inhibit secretion of TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone), leading to partial suppression of thyroxine, the main hormone produced by the thyroid gland.
