If you think there is any merit in salivary testing, can you recommend a reliable testing lab where I don't need a doctor's order to be tested.

I was concerned about getting high estrogen levels on the hcg and gel that's why I began 2.5mg of nolvadex. Do you think it's best to hold off even on such small a dose?

Thanks again,

Stop anything that lowers E2 your way to low you will know when it comes beck up because your libido will come back and your should get morning wood.

Read the Sticky on Adrenal at the top of this site and you can go to this link and read about it and find labs that do testing. The salivary tests work good for this.

Are you on meds for depression.
