liver enzymes are also slightly elevated. Since upping the dose, I've been able

to stop taking melatonin, and I sleep much better. I also increased my

aldosterone. With those 2 changes, I got high cortisol symptoms and gradually

decreased my HC from 40 mgs to 20. Do you think I'm getting myself into trouble

with such a high progesterone dose? Thanks! Irene

I would recheck progesterone levels with serum testing. If ti is not

high in serum it is fine.

One last question about this, Val: Wouldn't have taking more progesterone a lot

sooner have helped? I keep wondering about the advice to wait on sex hormones

until adrenals are stable. If some of the progesterone IS converting to cortisol

or aldo, isn't that a benefit in my case? Thanks for your time and patience.

I generally donl;t tell people ANY MORE to wait on sex hormones. What I

do tell them is to use END hormones as much as possible. In the case of

beliow range progesterone YES absolutely taking SOME (small amounts

especially at first) would be beneficial an it being thta low can be

contributing to low cortils and low aldosterone.
