Women and high cholesterol -- not so simple.

Web MD reports a study that shows a woman's blood cholesterol changes with her ovulatory cycle. If your doc has urged you to begin medication for high cholesterol, you might want to be re-tested. Source was The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism.

Am I reading wrong, or is the article saying contradictory things about when cholesterol is highest and lowest?

As someone who falls squarely in that more than 20% variation group, I'm very intrigued indeed by this ...
