Well, here's the lowdown on estrogen: it's like a "Goldilocks" hormone – too much or too little, and things start to go a bit haywire. And here's the kicker – too little estrogen isn't great for your fertility either. So, the suggestions we're about to share come with a big neon sign: "Test, don't guess!" It's okay to give your estrogen metabolism pathways a little boost, but if those pesky symptoms are persistent, you've got to get those hormones tested.

Now, about those tests – it's not as straightforward as asking your doc to simply check your estrogen levels. We'll dive into testing and the marvelous world of estrogen metabolism pathways soon. But for now, you can request your doc to measure estradiol on the 3rd day of your cycle (that's CD day 3 for the lingo). Ideal CD day 3 estradiol levels should dance around 40-50 pg/ml or 146-183 pmol/L.

If your levels are busting out of this range, you're in the Estrogen Baddies Club. But trust us, detoxifying excess estrogen isn't as simple as popping a pill. Our hero, Estro-Reset, does wonders by getting all those estrogen pathways back online, but there's a world of nuances that only testing can reveal.
