Analyzing progesterone and estrogen blood test
by floridanative222, Apr 27, 2008 10:47AM
I'm in need of some serious help. I'm 39 and feeling
awful (chronic headaches not migraines) and having
many symptoms of estrogen dominance but don't fit the
profile. I usually feel the worse for the first 2-3
weeks of my cycle! I also got married and would like
to get pregnant asap.
I'm on HC, Armour and T3 and just began compounded
prog. cream two months ago but only taking it from day
8-17 when I appear low in progesterone. I also look low
in estrogen too but doctor didn't mention anything about
it.
Can anyone help interpreting my blood labs that were
taken prior to beginning the cream? I'm not clear on
the phase that I was in and notice how the lab changed
the words in the ranges for estradiol.
completed on 7 day of cycle:
Progesterone = <0.5
follicular phase: <1.4
luteal phase: 3.3 - 26.0
mid-luteal phase: 4.4 - 28.0
Estradiol = 122
follicular phase: 11-212
mid cycle: 18-480
luteal phase: < or = 247
------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- ------
completed on 14 day of cycle:
Progesterone = 0.6
follicular phase: <1.4
luteal phase: 3.3 - 26.0
mid-luteal phase: 4.4 - 28.0
Estradiol = <7
follicular phase: 11-212
mid cycle: 18-480
luteal phase: < or = 247
These both look very low to me.
