Hi, Lynnet.  Liz and I talked about this over a year ago.  My saliva tests
showed my estrogen to be practically non-existent, and my progesterone to be
more than adequate.  Go figure.  My drs never had an answer for this.  I'm
really glad that I had those tests done because I had read the books that
all said estrogen dominance is *the* problem of perimenopause and that
progesterone is the only supplementation that's necessary.   That wasn't the
case for me.  BTW (ugh!) I have plenty of fat cells. :-(
