DUTCH Cycle Mapping is the most comprehensive test offered and provides information about ovarian reserve, follicle development, ovulation, and luteal sufficiency. In many circumstances, this may be enough information to treat the patient. Adding a DUTCH Plus maximizes the available information from sex and adrenal hormone production and metabolism and provides an even more complete patient picture by providing additional insight into adrenal function with details about a patient’s cortisol awakening response (CAR). The estrogen, alpha-, and beta-pregnanediol luteal phase samples with the highest beta-pregnanediol is the sample used to report estrogen and progesterone metabolism on the accompanying DUTCH Plus.
