Thank you. My estrogen levels are steady so they aren't thinking menopause yet however of course we all know they can make mistakes. The idea about finding a doctor through a compounding pharmacy is great. I hadn't thought of that. So far the only functional medicine doctors I have found were 2 and a half hours away. But there is a compounding pharmacy close to me so thank you for suggesting that as a resource.

@toomanyoars Instead of just getting a estrogen test, I suggest you ask your primary/gynecologist for an FSH test (follicular stimulating hormone). This is important because it tells your body whether you are still dropping fertile eggs, and this totally drives a lot of your estrogen/progesterone/testosterone levels which can usually impact your energy and your mood.
