Cortisol testing - does it matter which day?
I’ve purchased saliva cortisol+
DHEA
test but I have an issue deciding which day to take the samples. Since I have to commute to work for about 45min each day I would prefer to avoid colleting on a weekday in case the sample taken at work defrosts on my way home.

Adrenal Stress Profile from Genova Diagnostics
I would like to do a saliva adrenal stress profile (Cortisol and
DHEA
) from Genova Diagnostics. Anyone did that test recently? Any problems/issues I should be aware of before buying? Apparently you cannot send it through mail anymore but have to use APC courier, was that easy to arrange?

DHEA and low amh - where to have DHEA levels tested before taking supplements?
I’m thinking of ordering micronised
DHEA
in the hope it may increase my chance of falling pregnant naturally but have done a lot of reading up and think it’s worth having testosterone/cortisol and
dhea
levels tested first to see if there’s an imbalance. Anyone had this done and if so where ??

Why might my T4 be going up and T3 going down, on the same T4 dose?
I'm waiting on adrenal test results (cortisol,
DHEA
). I am so confused about what to do and I feel I am making everything worse. Should I attempt to re-introduce T3 in teeny tiny amounts? I was interested in CT3M but if I can't handle T3 that is not going to be an option.

Change in test results - advice needed
I also take
DHEA
, D3, B12 and a multivitamin daily. Since the diagnosis my puffiness has been greatly reduced and fatigue/brain fog much better until about 2pm when it comes back slowly until I have to get to bed by 8pm.

DHEA & ADT
We produce a ton of
DHEA
when we are young adults, but levels plummet with age. It's an extraordinary drop. Why did we need so much when young? The sulphated form of
DHEA
(
DHEA
-S) represents our reservoir of
DHEA
.

Saliva cortisol/DHEA Test done before menstral or during. Does it effect? Can any females help?
My lovely sister purchased an cortisol and
Dhea
saliva test for me. I’m really low on funds as I haven’t be able to work for past 5 months and don’t want to mess this test up. The test needs to be returned before 19th Of Dec. And I’m just about to start my period.

Dhea has arrived! What dosage?
Hi all, for those who are taking
dhea
, it says on the bottle to take 1 a day but I’ve seen some that take it 3 times a day. What’s best? It’s 25mg micronized. Thanks x

Florinef - cortisol suppression?
I am also taking pregnenolone 50mg daily as my aldosterone is still very low – my doctor has successfully treated me to raise other hormone levels including HGF-1,
DHEA
, Test and T3 & T4. All these levels are now OK. I have two questions though.

DHEA?
Anyone prescribed
DHEA
for Hormonal Imbalace (‘’possibly’’ resulting from Steroid use) or even to directly help with Asthma? Guessing that an Endocrinologist would have to first test Patient’s
DHEA
Level then - if found to be low - prescribe either
DHEA
or maybe it’s Parent Hormone.
