I really don't know one way or the other, but if I were to hypothesize, i'd expect the blood to be more stable and more reliable than the saliva, due to oral hydration conditions, even if the test were repeated. But as I said, I really don't know. However, I did remember MrsD posting something about this so I looked up her post...:
Bizi, I also don't know whether, that time, you had a single saliva sample or if it was repeated 4 times. And perhaps your doctor informed you that the 4 times a day test is as good or better than blood work? I am confused because MrsD usually posts reliable information, so i thought i'd toss this out here. Please would you indicate your source (your doctor, other)? Thanks very much. And MrsD, if you are reading, perhaps you could provide clarifications/insight on your position also? Thanks. ~ waves ~ |

my pdoc ordered my saliva test for my hormones, estrogen progesterone and then the cortisol one came with it. This was just the one time level. The professional pharmacy had a test that was for 4 saliva specimans one before each meal and at bed time I think....
I think I remember reading somewhere that our cortisal levels change under stress which also leads to weight gain. sorry no sources.... bizi

Hi bizi! The internist said that I can't do the saliva test because I am on birth control pills. Somehow that renders the saliva cortisol test inaccurate. So that's why she ordered it in the bloodwork.
