DUTCH Cycle Mapping™

Overview

DUTCH Cycle Mapping™ evaluates reproductive hormone patterns by analysing dried urine samples collected at several points throughout the menstrual cycle. Hormone metabolites are measured and adjusted for creatinine levels, providing insights into hormonal changes over time without the need for 24-hour urine collection. This method offers a way to observe detailed hormone fluctuations that single point measurements might miss, supporting a more comprehensive understanding of cycle dynamics.

Tracking oestrogen and progesterone variations across the menstrual cycle helps to highlight the timing and consistency of hormone changes. This information can be useful when considered alongside other factors such as menstrual history, symptom tracking, lifestyle influences and additional laboratory data. Practitioners typically consider cycle length, ovulation timing, recent contraceptive use, and individual context to interpret these patterns, contributing to personalised wellness or lifestyle insights.

By integrating DUTCH Cycle Mapping™ results with broader health and lifestyle information, individuals can explore hormone-related patterns relevant to their overall wellbeing. The data provided helps to inform discussions about hormonal balance and can support general personal optimisation efforts. This approach focuses on educational, wellness, and research interests rather than clinical or diagnostic purposes.
