You can order a hormone panel from directlabs.com and other sites, unless you are in one of the few states that don't allow that. However, I don't see how you are going to replace the correct amount of all of those hormones without a prescription.

DHEA and progesterone cream will help somewhat; however, that assumes you tolerate them well enough.

Taking small doses several times per day might increase the odds of tolerating them. Hopefully you don't have symptoms of sluggish liver Phase II Sulfation.

Also I think you'll need zinc and not low levels of iron.

DHEA is not abbreviated in the diagram below.

There are a few foods that support a little increase in aromatase (an agonist); but without testing you won't know if that is what you need.

The body makes pregnenolone from cholesterol, but I can't imagine pregnenolone is going to fix your problem. It is too far upstream from the sex hormones and you don't know how well you convert all of those hormones.

The woman I've been seriously dating for more than a few years is around 50 yrs old. The hormone balancing from her semi-natural functional medicine doctor has not only been helpful for *her* symptoms--hot flashes, etc.

When a woman does not address the hormone changes there can be devastating effects on her intimate relationship with her husband. (clearly it is not just one or two effects ) It is not surprising that so many couples don't make it through this stage of life.

A woman's libido is often adversely affected by low testosterone. The vaginal dryness can make *life* uncomfortable, let alone sexual intimacy!

Hormone balancing done with a respect for the way Mother Nature does it can be hugely helpful for women and for marriages, especially at this challenging time of life.

I can't stress enough how wonderful the right combo of adrenal and sex hormones can be. It has been life-changing for us.

Unfortunately it is not easy to find the right combo of them, even with followup blood tests. They are not cheap either. However the tests are much less expensive than an unhealthy relationship or divorce.

My close female friend often thanks me for my supportiveness during this challenging time of life. She has been that way for me during tough times, so I clearly owed her that and more.

She likes Suzanne Sommers' books on the subject. Some natural-minded folks like Dr Lee's books.

Good luck to you.
