Yeah, it'll pass. After 8 years of suffering.

You are wrong.

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


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.


You are very uninformed. Your hormone levels change daily. This test isn’t going to tell you anything. Get yourself to the Reddit menopause forums.
