I find that most physicians use serum testing to monitor topically applied hormones like testosterone, estrogens and progesterone. This results in very large doses being used such as 200 mg testosterone gel daily etc. Saliva testing shows these patients are all being overdosed. Unfortunately there isn't much research out there on this. Please post articles and links that support the use of saliva testing for monitoring and dosing topical hormones.

I find saliva and serum testing two completely different tests once HRT has started in a patient. |
