Estradiol Your blood test results indicate that your estradiol levels are high. Estradiol is a form of estrogen, which plays a crucial role in various bodily functions. While it's normal for estrogen levels to fluctuate, persistently high levels may have implications for your health. Research shows that elevated estradiol levels can be associated with a range of symptoms and conditions. These can include mood swings, breast tenderness, weight gain, and even an increased risk for certain types of cancers. It's recommended that you discuss these results with your healthcare provider, who can provide further guidance and determine the most appropriate course of action. They may suggest additional tests or evaluations to better understand the underlying cause of the elevated estradiol levels. They can also discuss potential treatment options if necessary. Please note that in some cases, high estradiol levels may be a result of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) or testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), which are often used to address hormonal imbalances. If you are currently undergoing either of these therapies, it's important to consult with your healthcare provider to ensure that your treatment plan is appropriately balanced. Remember, your healthcare provider has access to your complete medical history and can provide personalized advice based on your specific situation. |

Estriol Your estriol serum levels are within the normal range for your age and sex. Research shows that estriol is a hormone that is primarily produced during pregnancy and can be used to monitor fetal health. In non-pregnant individuals, estriol levels can also be used to indicate risk for certain types of cancer. However, in your case, your levels are normal and do not suggest any immediate concerns. It's recommended that you continue to monitor your levels as part of your routine blood work. |

This test is ideal if you're experiencing irregular periods, unexplained mood swings, fertility issues, or symptoms that suggest hormonal imbalance. It measures all three forms of estrogen to help identify what's causing your hormonal symptoms and whether your estrogen levels are affecting your menstrual cycle, mood, or overall well-being. Many women use this test when they suspect hormone-related problems but want concrete answers.
You should stop taking any biotin supplements (also called vitamin B7, B8, vitamin H, or coenzyme R) at least 72 hours before your blood draw, as high-dose biotin can interfere with some tests in this panel. Otherwise, no special preparation like fasting is typically required. You can take this test at any point in your menstrual cycle, though your doctor may recommend specific timing depending on what they're evaluating.
This comprehensive panel evaluates all three forms of estrogen that play different roles in your body. Estradiol is the primary estrogen that regulates your menstrual cycle and affects mood, energy, and bone health. Estriol is particularly important during pregnancy, while estrone becomes more significant after menopause. Together, these measurements provide a complete picture of your hormonal balance and help identify the specific type of estrogen imbalance that may be causing your symptoms.
What this means
Your estradiol levels are below the optimal range, which may contribute to irregular periods, mood changes, low energy, or difficulty with fertility. Low estradiol is common during certain phases of your cycle, perimenopause, or due to factors like stress, excessive exercise, or very low body weight.
Recommended actions
Ensure adequate calorie and healthy fat intake to support hormone production
Reduce excessive exercise if applicable and prioritize rest and recovery
Manage stress through mindfulness, yoga, or adequate sleep (7-9 hours)
Consider retesting in 4-6 weeks, ideally mid-cycle for more accurate assessment
