Your estradiol is desperately low. It should be 70 - 114. That range they

gave was for UNTREATED postmeno estradiol. Your progesterone is

comparatively high. That, coupled with your low estradiol, would make me

feel absolutely awful.

Val

Progesterone 1.14 Post Menopausal <0.2 - 0.82

Estradiol 18 Post Menopausal <20 - 41

FSH 53 Post Menopausal 20-138

FT3 3.87 1.45 - 3.48

FT4 1.13 0.75 - 1.91

LH 27.2 Post Menopausal 15 - 62 WHAT IS THIS?

TSH 0.01 0.20 - 6.00

DHEA 38 39 - 183

I agree with Valarie: Your estradiol is too low. Dr. Vliet has a

great explanation of this in " It's My Ovaries, Stupid!! " She also

explains that low thyroid causes ovarian decline (and low estradiol).

Also, LH is Leutinizing Hormone - the hormone that causes the corpus

luteum to grow over the ovarian follicle after it releases the egg. I

believe it's slightly elevated in menopausal years relative to

premenopausal years.
