Re: about that Progesterone score..

[Guest guest]

Hey if you figure out the rhyme or reason behind progesterone and estrogen tests please let me know! My tests showed deficient in estro so my rx'ed natural creme.... I went quite crazy... I now manage my ups and downs with Wild Yam, Vitex and Dong Qui. I am only 30 but from age 25-27 I didn't have a period and experienced all the symptoms but didn't get positive labs for menopause. I have PCOS but due to my food allergies I can't go low carb... there really all I can eat except for dairy.

Hey gang, I just realized something... I thought the whole point ofthe Progesterone test was to show if you are deficient. So why is theref. range "<1.4" during the follicular phase????? It would even a"0" would be in the normal range... and that I'm progesterone dominant!!Perplexed,

Hi, Sheila!! Thanks so much... this article talks about the normal

values during the luteal phase of a cycle though (I think that's after

mid-cycle) -- I took my test during the follicular phase -- while I

was on my period and that's what's so confusing to me -- I thought

that's when you were *supposed* to be tested! Argh! Wanting a refund.

:-) I missed ya, lady -- will be trying to catch up here and there on

the list and hope you're doing OK!!!
