Saliva testing for hrt
Post Body

So I have a massive and annoying needle phobia. I've been trying to work through it with my shrink for a couple of years but have made very little progress. Does anyone know of any endos in Melbourne or Adelaide that use saliva testing instead of blood tests to get the hormone levels. I brang it up with the endo I saw but he shut it down saying blood tests are the only way. I tried to look online e but mainly found articles related to menopause. This has been stopping me from starting hrt for a while now and it sucks. I wish I was scared of sharks or something that doesn't effect my life. Thank you for any help.

Update: For those interested, I was able to get the blood test by having a coworker who knows my situation hold me down when I was drugged. Not the best solution but it worked.
