Absolutely: There are known changes in women's hormone levels that occur over time. Estrogen and Progesterone levels decline (disproportionately i might add) after age 35, and testosterone production in women falls 50% in women b/w age 20 & age 40. You need to research who to see b/c many conventional doctors do not believe in (or are not aware of) the effects of hormone changes as we age.
