And the second complication is, it's often hard to say anything about what estrogen does outside the context of what progesterone is doing. And often it's not the absolute levels of either, it's the ratio of the two.

The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

if you have estrogen dominance the question is do you have too much estrogen or do you have not enough progesterone because it could be both of those things
what we're seeing in women and this is almost like across the board there's very few women that i see that have really healthy levels of progesterone during that time and what we start to see is that estrogen becomes too high in balance to that progesterone so the progesterone is what we're seeing so what you see in this one which is a healthy what should be happening the progesterone is at its highest and then the estrogen is below but what we're seeing is an opposite of that the estrogen is too high in progesterone is too low during days 19 20 and 21.
so estrogen dominant can be two different things it can be that it is too much in relation to your progesterone levels or it can mean that even though you have normal progesterone the estrogen is too high in comparison to that progesterone
