Estrogen/Progesterone ratio
The estrogen/progesterone (E/P) ratio is a measurement that indicates the balance between two essential hormones in the body — estrogen (E) and progesterone (P). Both hormones are crucial for female reproductive health, including the regulation of menstrual cycles, fertility, mood, and overall wellness. Maintaining an optimal ratio promotes hormonal balance, while imbalances may lead to various health concerns. This ratio naturally varies throughout the menstrual cycle and can be affected by factors such as age, lifestyle, and medical conditions.
Description
Women experiencing menstrual irregularities, fertility issues, symptoms of menopause, or hormonal imbalance signs, like mood swings or weight changes, may benefit from testing their Estrogen/Progesterone ratio. This test can help diagnose conditions like estrogen dominance or progesterone deficiency and guide appropriate treatments.
An imbalance between estrogen and progesterone can indicate various conditions. Estrogen dominance, where estrogen levels are high relative to progesterone, can lead to symptoms like heavy periods, fibroids, and mood swings. Progesterone deficiency might result in irregular or missed periods and increased menopause symptoms.
- Mood swings and depression
- Weight gain, especially around the hips and abdomen
- Irregular or heavy menstrual cycles
- Fibrocystic breasts
- Sleep disturbances
- Decreased libido
- Increased symptoms of PMS or menopause
Absolutely. A balanced ratio is crucial for regular ovulation and maintaining a pregnancy. Imbalances can affect fertility and should be addressed in fertility treatments.

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the USA. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.
