The DUTCH Cycle Mapping Plus test provides a comprehensive and detailed assessment of hormonal fluctuations throughout your menstrual cycle. In addition to tracking estrogen and progesterone, it includes a complete adrenal panel with the Cortisol Awakening Response (CAR) to give you an in-depth view of your hormonal balance and circadian rhythm.

How This Test Can Help

This test is particularly useful for uncovering hormonal imbalances and identifying the root causes of symptoms such as:

  • Migraines
  • Irregular menstrual cycles
  • Infertility
  • Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
  • Mood swings or sleep disturbances
  • Chronic fatigue or burnout

How It Works

  • Sample Type: Dried urine and saliva samples are collected over one full cycle.
  • Cycle-Based Testing: Samples are collected based on your unique cycle length, allowing for personalized insights.
  • Cortisol Awakening Response (CAR): Cortisol levels are measured at three key points: at waking, +30 minutes, and +60 minutes to evaluate your body's stress response.

What’s Measured

  • Estrogen and Progesterone: These hormones are monitored daily to assess ovulatory function and hormone balance.
  • Cortisol Rhythm: The test measures cortisol metabolites to evaluate adrenal function and stress response.
  • Other Hormones & Metabolites:
  • Testosterone
  • DHEA
  • Estrogen metabolites
  • Progesterone metabolites

  • Graphical Results: The results are presented in easy-to-interpret charts, making it clear for both patients and healthcare providers.
  • Bonus: Providers have access to video tutorials to assist in interpreting the results.
