Could this be an adrenal issue? No cortisol test

[violetmiles160]

Hi, I'm a 22 y/o female. I have not had a period for almost 4.5 months. I have always had irregular periods. My LH was 25 and my FSH was 6.6. My doctor said this is normal, but after researching it it appears my LH is only normal if I am about to start my period. It's been 5 days and no period. My total testosterone was 103(normal 8-60) and free was normal at 1.1. My prolactin was 13.3 and reportedly normal. My TSH was normal. My fasting insulin serum was low at less than 2. Please help! Thanks I'm slightly underweight to normal. I do have to pluck him hair and am constantly "wired".

Def search for an endo that listens to you and your concerns. I'm not a doctor, but it sounds like it could be androgen excess- ask your doc if that is a possibility. Feeling wired, excess hair, lean body, irregular periods and excess testosterone production all seem to point to it. Get your testosterone, free testosterone, DHEA and androsteneidione tested- they vary depending on where you are on your cycle, so ask your endo when you should get them tested. Good luck, wishing you all the best <3

Did you get a copy and do you know when in you cycle you tested and how that matches up to the ranges?

Ever had sodium and potassium tested? AI is a salt wasting disease so those have to be off.

You need testing, find another doctor. It may or may not be cortisol though.
