I'm not sure what your financial status is but I just completed saliva testing that looks at 11 different panels of hormones. I paid $ 400 out of pocket b/c I don't have insurance either...
This is something that you can purchase online, through a holistic physician or maybe even a doctor. Prices differ depending on the amount of panels(different tests). Saliva tests are known to be more thorough as well b/c they look at your hormones throughout your entire cycle.
I dont' have my results back yet but I hope they shed some light into my issues as well.
If you feel like something may be off in your body, maybe its a good idea to go with testing. If not...perhaps it would be best to wait.
I wish I had more to offer in terms of knowledge...sorry. :(
maybe my friend meant my estrogen could be high...idk i just dont know what to do i dont think i'll be able to afford all the tests the doc has to run on me, i have no insurance and the nurse said they aren't sure if they will be able to set up a payment plan until after the tests have been done...uugghh i dont know whether to just keep trying or have the tests done to see if i can get preggo first!!!
forgot to mention that i did infact have high porlactin levels dec.06-feb.07 and had 3 Bfp's in 2007 as well!
