estrogen levels
Chelee, your estrogen levels can be checked and then you will be sure if you are pre menopausal or not. It is a blood test.
Estogen levels for Pre menopause is:
Follic phase (first days of an ovulatory cycle) - 27-161
Luteal Phase (last fourteen days of an ovulatory cycle, associated with progesterone production from the corpus luteum) is 33-201.
Post menopausal is 5-38
So if you are below 27 there is NO doubt you are post menopausal.
