Why Estrogen and Progesterone Balance Matters
Estrogen and progesterone influence how the body moves through different hormonal phases. Their balance can affect cycle rhythm, sleep quality, temperature regulation, fluid balance, libido, energy and emotional wellbeing.
When the relationship between these hormones shifts, the effects can feel different depending on life stage, cycle phase and individual hormone patterns. This is why measuring both hormones together can give more useful context than looking at one marker alone.
The result can help you better understand whether estrogen and progesterone balance may be part of your wider hormonal picture.

Biomarkers included
- Estrogen (estradiol): Estrogen is a primary sex hormone present in both women and men, though at different levels. In women, it supports the development and regulation of the reproductive system, menstrual cycle, and secondary sexual characteristics, while also influencing bone health, skin, and mood. In men, it plays a role in libido, erectile function, and sperm production. Mainly produced in the ovaries for women an
- Estrogen/Progesterone ratio: The estrogen/progesterone (E/P) ratio is a measure that reflects the balance between two key hormones in the body — estrogen (E) and progesterone (P). Both hormones play vital roles in female reproductive health, including regulating menstrual cycles, fertility, mood, and overall well-being. Maintaining an optimal ratio supports hormonal harmony, while imbalances can contribute to various health i
- Progesterone: Progesterone is a female sex hormone primarily produced by the ovaries after ovulation and by the placenta during pregnancy. It plays a crucial role in preparing the uterus for pregnancy, maintaining pregnancy, and regulating the menstrual cycle. Progesterone levels naturally fluctuate throughout the menstrual cycle. Low levels can lead to irregular periods, difficulty conceiving, or complications

Frequently asked questions
When is the best time during my cycle to take this test?
Menstruating women should typically perform the collection during the luteal phase, which is roughly day 19-23 of a 28-day cycle (where day 1 is the first day of your period). For those with irregular cycles or post-menopausal individuals, the test can be taken on any day.
Can men take the Estrogen & Progesterone test?
Yes, men also produce estrogen and progesterone. In men, an imbalance (particularly high estrogen) can contribute to symptoms such as fatigue, mood changes, and weight gain. This test provides specific reference ranges for male physiology.
Do I need to stop taking hormone supplements before the test?
If you are using hormone replacement therapy (HRT) or topical hormone creams, it is recommended to follow the specific instructions included in your kit regarding the timing of your last dose before collection to ensure accurate baseline results.
