I’ve been trying to figure out why I’m not feeling right (this has been going on for the last 6 years). My symptoms include, physical fatigue, mental fatige, insomnia, weight gain, depression, moodswings etc.I feel like my symptoms are getting alot worse as time goes on.
My last visit from the doctor told me that I have
insulin resistance, which I find odd since I have been on a low carb diet for the last 5-6 months (no sugar). I have also been exercising most days with the little energy I have. I’m only in my 20s!
I did a saliva test for my female hormones a while back. I haven’t had much help interpreting them.The I did see at the time said taking vitamin b for my adrenals will help balance out my female hormones. It hasn’t helped me at all. I have also tried wild yam cream. I haven’t experienced any relief from that either.
I had these tested again by a doc (blood was drawn at 9.30am) and they came back all normal.
Anyway, so these are the results from my last hormones saliva test. Can anybody help interpret these. I had the saliva tests done just before I got my period, I think it was day 23 of my menstrual cycle.
These are the results (pmol/L)
Progesterone P4 418.7
Testosterone 184.8 range 25.0 - 190.0
Estradiol E2 41.3
P4/E2 ratio 10.1
I’m not sure what the range is for the other hormones. Does anybody know? Could the insulin resistance be a result of high estrogen?
I should also note that, when I was 18 I became underweight and my period stoped for a while. I’m guessing this has something to do with the symptoms I have?
I have had my
thyroid checked out, and everything else seems normal.
Any of your opinions are appreciated. Thanks in advance!!
