Astronomical progesterone - anyone else had this?

[Guest guest]

Hello

Deborah - I passed your test results to Dr Theodora Mantzourani and she has

sent back the following advice. I would get another test to check the

progesterone levels via blood as suggested by Theodora and let us have answers

to the questions she has asked, before we can take this further.

Luv - Sheila

Hi Sheila

Re salivary progesterone result:

Before jumping to any conclusions I would recommend a

repeat test,preferably a blood sample for progesterone as salivary

progesterone levels may paint a comprehensive picture of the entire menstrual

cycle but are less reliable because of very broad hormonal variations.

Other things to consider at this stage are drugs other

than obviously progesterone cream or pills ,for example pregnenolone

supplements, any conventional drugs and any supplements or glandulars with

steroid hormones.

Progesterone is produced by both the adrenals and the

ovaries.

Does she have ,by any chance,any recent cholesterol

figures? and /or liver function profile?

To wrap it up,before we proceed any further,I recommend a

repeat test preferably a blood progesterone level.it would be good to have a

blood cholesterol and liver profile as progesterone comes from

cholesterol and ,finally,it would be good to have a list of all drugs

and supplements and herbals consumed.

I hope this helps

Love

Theodora

Dear All

Can anyone shed any light on an astronomically high salivary progesterone for

me?

I've just had these results:

Salivary cortisol

0800 11.5 (5.0 - 14)

1200 2.3 (3.0 - 8.0)

1600 2.6 (1.5 - 5.0)

1200 1.0 (0.5 - 2.0)

Salivary DHEAs

0800 1.0 (7.0 - 18.3)

1200 1.1 (4.8 - 10.0)

1600 0.6 (3.5 - 6.0)

1200 1.1 (2.0 - 4.0)

Salivary Oestradiol

Noon 16.4 (luteal phase 6.0 - 30.0; post meno <6.0)

Salivary testosterone

Noon 124.9 (35 - 350)

Salivary Progesterone

Noon 8069.1 (luteal 300 - 1900; post meno <150)

According the lab, it is a genuine result........

I am 54, not exactly post-menopause, but haven't menstruated for 5 months.

I take 125 mcg T3 (having had reverse-T3 on Armour); I don't take anything

that would explain the progesterone and don't use progesterone cream.

Soooooooo, if anyone has any knowledge on this that they could share, I'd

really appreciate it!

Deborah
