测量女性的睾丸激素在行为研究中可能是有用的，但是需要关于月经周期的变化会引入多少误差的信息。 在22名女性中，每隔一周测量一次月经周期的早晨和晚上唾液睾酮浓度，使用促黄体激素峰来标记月经中期。 月经周期有统计学意义，但小于每日周期或个体差异。 在大多数将心理和行为变量与睾酮个体差异相关的研究中，月经周期的影响可以被忽略。
Measures of testosterone among women are potentially useful in behavioral research, but information is needed on how much error is introduced by variability across the menstrual cycle. Morning and evening salivary testosterone concentrations were measured at weekly intervals across one menstrual cycle in each of 22 women, using the luteinizing hormone surge to mark midcycle. Menstrual cycles were statistically significant but smaller than daily cycles or individual differences. Menstrual cycle effects can be ignored in most research relating psychological and behavioral variables to individual differences in testosterone.
