You can get your homone levels checked in the UK. Ive had it done myself, but
it may not be something that your GP is happy to have done. It rather depends
on your health authority and their attidude.
There is a natural progesterone information service (NPIS) which lists
doctors and basic information on the uses of natural progesterone. Their
address is
NPIS, PO box 24, Buxton, Derbyshire SK17 9FB
There is a doctor in London called Dr Shirley A Bond who is an expert in
Natural Hormone treatment and has written a book called "natural
progesterone"- she goes into detail about prescribing hormones whilst
pregnant etc (Im sorry I cant remember if your particular question was
relating to pregnancy or thats just in the title of the post) -
I dont know where she is based though.. but Im sure a quick internet search
would find her.
Also regarding supplements - there are a few natural supplemens that are
supposed to help you.. Agnus Castus is one of them as is Wild Yam - both are
supposed to balance hormones.
A company which could help you in that direction are Higher Nature. they do a
sort of catalogue with loads of really good information in it as to what
vitamin and supplement does what. Its very extensive, they are reasonably
priced and have an advisory service -plus they have a number of difficult to
find vitamins and supplements there. They may be worth a ring. their number
is
01435 882880
Saliva hormone testing can be done through Higher nature too but they send
the sample off to the USA and get the results from there.
hope that helps!
Sam
