This test is ideal if you're experiencing mood swings, unexplained weight changes, irregular periods, or fertility issues. It measures even extremely low levels of estradiol, making it especially valuable for postmenopausal women, men checking hormone balance, or anyone with subtle hormonal symptoms that standard tests might miss. Many people use this test when they suspect hormone-related issues but need more precise answers than traditional testing can provide.
This test uses liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) technology to measure even trace amounts of estradiol in your blood. This ultrasensitive method is crucial because it can detect hormone levels that are too low for standard testing methods, providing accurate insights into reproductive health, bone density, mood regulation, and hormonal balance in postmenopausal women, men, and prepubertal girls.
You'll receive detailed doctor notes in simple language explaining what your estradiol levels mean for your mood, energy, fertility, and overall health. These notes include personalized recommendations like dietary adjustments, lifestyle changes, supplement suggestions, or whether hormone therapy might be worth discussing with your doctor. You'll also get the standard lab report and can track your hormone levels over time using our trends feature to see how your interventions are working.
What this means
Your estradiol level is below the optimal range, which may contribute to mood changes, low energy, irregular periods, or fertility challenges. In postmenopausal women, lower levels are expected, but in premenopausal women or men, this could indicate hormonal imbalance affecting overall well-being.
Recommended actions
Maintain a healthy weight through balanced nutrition and regular exercise
Include phytoestrogen-rich foods like flaxseeds, legumes, and whole soy products
Ensure adequate sleep (7-8 hours) and manage stress through meditation or yoga
Consider retesting in 2-3 months, ideally during days 3-5 of your cycle if menstruating
