That appears to be the question some doctors are asking.

If you follow my blog you'll know that I have recently had my hormones tested through saliva.  I have had three saliva hormone tests done to date. I've had more blood tests but mostly I've filled out symptom charts and had discussions with my doctor.

There is some debate over whether saliva or blood is the best way to measure hormone levels.  Or whether testing is even necessary at all! Just try googling saliva vs blood hormone testing and you'll see what I mean!  One expert says saliva is the only accurate way, another says blood serum levels and the next says neither is necessary because the patient's symptoms tell the whole story! Wow, talk about confusing!

I'm going to try to sort through the confusion for you:

Saliva:

Blood:
