Low Estrogen AND Low Progesterone
by Rachel4, Aug 22, 2009 09:21PM
The facts:
- I'm 26 years old.
- I have never conceived or tried to conceive.
- I have been on birth control pills since I was 17 for irregular periods (irregular meaning 2 weeks, then 7 weeks mostly too frequent)
- I was diagnosed with autoimmune hypothyroidism in November 2008. I have been taking T4 replacement hormone since diagnosis. Nodules have been biopsied and declared non-malignant.
- I was also diagnosed with several nutritional deficiencies in November 2008 (iron, b12, b6, vitamin d, and zinc) and have been supplementing since diagnosis to balance.
I went into the doctor for PMS symptoms that began last August and have worsened over the year. I am depressed, irritable, and anxious to a debilitating point the week before my period. My GP suspected estrogen dominance. Labs were taken about ten days prior to when I should start my period (birth control pills have regulated it).
Results are pre-puberty level. What causes this?
- Estradiol <10
- Progesterone 0.2
