I felt I was just looking at this number grow and nothing else and it was getting into my head so i took a step back from recording the exact times but stayed true to at least one hour a day and 4 on my days off so 576 doesn't seem inaccurate at all.
I'll pick up some PM and reishi while waiting for the test and fine tune once my results are back.
Do you think I should stop taking what I am now and just continue noogling until I get tested? I'm not sure how much it will affect the results despite not having an effect on my appearance.
Thank you all again.
Yes it’s probably a good idea to take a break from hormonal supplements before the test, but you might also want to know what, if anything, these supplements are doing to your hormone levels. The problem with blood testing for women is that our hormone levels change drastically throughout our cycles. That means you should test your hormones twice during one cycle for accurate results. I don’t remember which days of the cycle are best for testing, but I’m sure its easy to find online. You might also want to test again a few months down line just to see what affect the supplements are having on your hormone levels. Proper testing gets pretty expensive quickly, which I don’t bother with it, but I probably should, and I’m glad you’re getting tested.
EDIT: I just read something that said that it’s actually fine to test your overall hormone levels during follicular phase only, but it also said that it’s probably good idea to test progesterone again on day 21 if progesterone levels are important to you. I may do this myself.
