A member asked:
On what day of the cycle should estrogen and progesterone tests be done inorder to get accurate results if you're on bcp since a month?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Doesn't matter: If you are on bcp then getting your estrogen and Progesterone levels done is not a true reflection of what they are. The bcp will hold them down. Come off the pills and then check. You can check during ovulation for peak estrogen and day 21 for peak Progesterone if you are on a 28 day cycle.

Can estrogen and progesterone tests be done if a person has been on bcp that has ethinylesteadiol and drospirenone for the last one month?
The BCP I use contains 0.15 mg of Desogestrel and 0.02 mg of Ethinyl, does this mean it is a BCP that contains both Estrogen and Progesterone?
A bcp with more estrogen helps my acne but a bcp with less estrogen worsens it. Both have the same amount of drospirenone. I have low progesterone.
How can I treat estrogen dominance? Bcp don't really help me. Can i try progesterone creams or supplements and which ones should I try?
