here are the results:

testosterone=61, dr says that is fine

estradiol less than 15, dr says that is totally low

estrone=29 dr says that is fine

progesterone=.6 too low

so she prescribed a compounded cream of .5% estradiol+2% estriol, .1 gram a day cream on forearm, daily

200mg of prometrium taken orally or vaginally from cycle day 14-28

I was not tested for fsh, lh, dhea, etc. or estriol.

I started the rxs a few days ago, and am hoping to see my bleeding regulated like a more normal cycle.

it is weird the way some of the hormones measured are fine and some are low. I am glad I have a great female doctor who measured and rxed carefully for exactly what I was missing, not just a once size fits all rx. that would make things worse I would imagine!!!!

Yes, it sounds like you have a good doctor. You should be feeling better soon with more estrogen. Glad you found her and knew what to ask for.
