Shelli:
Do you have any symptoms of menopause? Missed periods? I ask because the "standard" blood tests are a "point in time" and depending on your hormone levels at that particular moment. I was clearly peri-menopausal when I fell into my depression, but my gynocologist kept telling me I wasn't based on the blood test (I was missing lots of periods--it got to be absurd, seven months without a period). Anyway, the saliva test is supposed to be better because it measures over a period of time.
