That is strange unless it is high to compensate for high estrogen. Is your E

high as well?

You said it was high, it is 6 (post meno no HRT 1-4)

I'm reposting my labs FYI, as maybe you will see something further in

them, and if there might be something in my blood test results that

would impact this I can send those in a later post if you want them. I

do have elevated liver enzymes can that impact progesterone?

This is what I was talking about or do you use progesterone cream?

Yes anything OVER RANGE is high. You are higher than you should be.

No I don't, have tried it in the past but I thought it made me feel

worse, as did estrogen suppositories.

As you raise the cortiosl it should lower the estrogen and possibly the

progesterone as well.

What would be symptoms from high estrogen and high progesterone? Would

they be distinct from low cortisol or hypoT? Would I be able to tell

they had lowered? I've been at 25 mg HC with stable temps and trying to

increase T3 slowly, but felt I wasn't able to get beyond 15 mcg.

So I've upped HC to 27.5 and gradually increased the T3 to 25 mcg in

split doses along with the HC doses. Is that the correct way to proceed?

thanks so much,

I am really not certain what symptoms you would have with high progesterone.

High estrogen can cause breast swelling and tenderness, binds tons of thyroid

hormones so yu feel even nmore hypo than you are, and irritability. As estrogen

lowers the breast tenderness and swelling stops, if it goes too low, urine

leakage (when you sneeze or cough) is one of my first symptoms, followed by hot

flashes and night sweats.
