What is DUTCH Cycle Mapping™?
For some women, testing reproductive hormones (progesterone, estrogen, etc.) on a single day is sufficient. In other scenarios, the clinical picture cannot be properly captured without “mapping” out the hormonal pattern throughout their menstrual cycle.
The expected pattern of hormones shows relatively low estrogen levels early in the cycle, a surge around ovulation and modest levels in the latter third of the cycle (the luteal phase). Progesterone levels, on the other hand, stay relatively low until after ovulation. After ovulation, levels ideally increase (>10-fold) and then drop back down at the end of the cycle. A disruption in this cycle can lead to infertility or hormonal imbalance.
When is DUTCH Cycle Mapping™ Recommended?
- Women struggling with infertility
- Women with cycling hormones and no menses
- Partial hysterectomy (ovaries intact but no uterus)
- Ablations
- Women with irregular cycles
- PCOS
- If the luteal phase shifts from month-to-month
- Not sure when to test due to long or short cycles
- Women whose hormonal symptoms tend to fluctuate throughout the cycle
- PMS, mid-cycle spotting, migraines, etc.
When is DUTCH Cycle Mapping™ Not Needed? (DUTCH Complete™ is sufficient)
- Postmenopausal women
- Women on birth control
- Women with cycles that follow the expected pattern

When I began working with Dr. Charny, she almost immediately recommended I try a GI-MAP test to see what might be causing my issues.
It’s pretty amazing how much Dr. Charny was able to read into my digestion from the results.
The results of the MyPerio test astounded me. I never knew the bacteria in my mouth could affect my energy levels and even my high blood pressure! Thanks Dr. Charny for ordering this test and explaining my results.
My hormones tested normal on other blood tests, but with the DUTCH test we were able to see how my hormones are working and responding to stress in action. It’s so cool that the test is taken throughout the day.
Thanks Dr. Charny for helping me get a handle on things.
