A: PCOS with sky high progesterone

[Guest guest]

Hi Diedre,

WOw, I have a very similar case of a 39 yo F with lots of ovarian

cysts and enlarged follicles but not dx as PCOS, yet. Here Labrix

saliva tests show similar but change everymonth due to the Wiley

Protocol her MD had her do, which is toxic levels of Bio HRT. Like

megadoses of Progesterone,Estrodial and testosterone. Not sure if

there is a connection, but here labs and situation are so similar,

its likely. She has been a superstar and tested every month x 6

months and it looks like it alternates b/w super high progesterone

and then high estro and low progesterone. SO re-testing may be worth

a try. We have treated her adrenals mainly, and she has much better

sleep and stamina and less anxiety, but it does not last. Perhaps

its just the ovarian cysts surging?? Thyroid is a piece too, but

likely secondary. SPeak with s NCNM 2002? - at Labrix

(Oregon City)or Dr Jay Mead, the endocrinolgist, very helpful!
