Menstrual Cycle Mapping Test
Understanding your individual reproductive hormone balance is important for any woman. It can be especially important for women struggling with fertility issues, irregular periods, or other symptoms that could be linked to hormone imbalances. Reproductive awareness empowers women to understand their bodies, monitor hormonal health, and make informed decisions about everything from fertility to overall wellness.
The Menstrual Cycle Mapping Test allows women to track their reproductive hormones across their entire menstrual cycle. By collecting a dried urine sample every other day, fluctuations in the levels of three key hormones – estradiol, progesterone, and luteinizing hormone – can be tracked over time. This provides a complete picture of your individual cycle, helping you to identify abnormalities that may affect fertility, menstrual cycle regularity, or other conditions associated with reproductive hormone balance.
This kit is available for purchase in-store or online.
