WP uses a healthy young woman’s hormone levels as a baseline. There are no baselines for saliva in young women to compare to. Saliva testing tests bi-products and though advocates for saliva testing will argue that it is accurate, the ranges do not apply to the Protocol. Blood testing is the only form of external measurement for the Protocol.

There are several companies that will sell you lab tests. Order online or call an 800 number, then go to the lab for the blood draw. Find one with a contract lab in your area that also has a good price. At www.lef.org, estradiol and progesterone tests cost $88 in total. They contract with Labcorp - a reputable lab company used by doctors. Directlabs.com or Health-tests-direct.com or Lab-safe.com and Preventive labs.com or Bloodworksusa.com. Or go to www.QuestCares.com for an Uninsured Patient Program.800.520.7010. Make sure these labs work with your doctor.

Still cycling: If you are still getting a period you will start your Wiley hormones on the first day of your period which is day one of your own cycle and you will be on the personal calendar.

Post-menopausal or if you have had any type of hysterectomy: You will start on day one of the lunar cycle. If you have a uterus you will get your menses back. This could happen the first month or it could take a few months for your uterus to wake up. Once this happens you will now be on your own personal calendar. Should you bleed within three (3) days of the lunar schedule you can stay on it but it is not required.
