[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can go to Labcorp and pay $100 to find out if your gyno is bullshitting you for cash, btw.[/quote]

Can you explain this? Serious question because I would love to pay $100 to get info that can help me.[/quote]

Labcorp On Demand offers a menopause test that checks your hormone levels. You have two vials of blood drawn preferably on day 3 of your cycle (if you still have one). HTH

A gynecologist told me I was peri three years ago. She refused to give me the test when I requested it. So I did this instead.

I had my hormone levels tested when I was 34 and they were identical to that test. I’m 42.

I switched gynecologists and found one that wasn’t pushy or a salesman first. [/quote]
These menopause tests aren't as accurate as you may think.  Perimenopause is marked by fluctuating hormone levels - some days/months you may be "normal", while others you may be low on estrogen.  This is why perimenopause is generally diagnosed by symptoms and not blood tests.[/quote]
