Hormone profile labels for the cycle phases are descriptive of typical cycles, since E was not assessed and P was assessed in only some of the cycle phases. For presentation in this table only, outcomes have been person-standardized so that estimates represent the number of standard deviations from one’s mean (0); therefore, estimates reflect the average number of personal standard deviations by which the two phases differ.
