Many women want their hormones checked, and then they wonder what is normal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since the blood level of estrogen will vary a bit during the day, and vary a lot during the menstrual cycle, timing of testing can be important. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In menopause the blood level of estrogen is very stable so a woman can have it drawn any day of the month, and it should change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once you begin a hormone therapy with estradiol your blood level of estrogen should rise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Premarin isn’t necessarily going to raise the estrogen level as much as you might think, and it has other hormones that don’t register on standard estrogen testing. . <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Estrogen delivered through patches or gels to the skin keep pretty stable blood levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Estrogen taken by mouth can have peaks and valleys in blood levels that make blood testing a bit less accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most women should sit around with blood levels of estrogen from 80-100, if they are young the levels may vary from day to day, and during ovulation peaks. If a woman is on hormone replacement therapy she should probably have levels of 80-100. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
