Hi Melissa, I just saw your question. The only way to really know (not guess) if there's a hormonal imbalance is to take the blood test or do the BBT charting. I know, I've been talking about BBt charting over and over but I seriously think that if a blood test is out of the question then it is the only way to KNOW. I have a lot of information in my program about it. All you can do is to measure your basal temperature first thing every morning then make a chart. Then you'll see exactly if there's a problem and what kind of problem. Progesterone deficiency charts normally are like this: low temperature in luteal phase, gradually increasing without a significant jump before the period. Estrogen-progesterone deficiency look different. Estrogen dominance look different too. So you'll be able to nail it down yourself and have something to discuss with your doctor if you want.
