Guest guest Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Hi everyone, I haven't been here for a while and hope everyone is doing well. I wanted to get your thoughts on some new blood labs. I have a phone consultation with Dr. Vliet (yes I'm splurging) because I don't know where to turn. I'm on 3.5 grains, 30mg of HC and prometrium. One of my questions is, if your on HC (cortisol) will that cause your adrenals to atrophy and stop working properly to produce other hormones? Also, is ferritin accurate if tested on day 3 of cycle when you have lost a lot of blood at that time? I'm still menstruating regularly and I'm 40 years old and want to have a HEALTHY baby, but I still have some lingering symptoms. This was done on day 3 of cycle: DHEA-S = less than 15 (25-220) FSH = 6.5 (2.5-10.2) LH = 1.4 (1.9-12.5) FT4 = 1.3 (.8-1.8) FT3 = 420 (230-420) Estradiol = 49 (11-212) Ferritin = 28 (10-232) Free Testosterone = .2 (.1-6.4) Total Testosterone = 2 (2-45) Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
