Guest guest Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Hi all, I got my lab results back. My estradiol is high, 341 pg/ml on day 12. Levels during follicular phase should be less than 212. I had blood drawn yesterday, day 14, to test progesterone levels. I don't have those results yet. The last test in February showed levels at 3.0. I am surprised by the estradiol levels. With estradiol that high, shouldn't I feel great! My doctor suggested that because in many ways I am feeling better on the WP, I should give it time. She thinks my symptoms are due to an imbalance that she says she can fix and also believes my high glucose levels many be contributing to my problems. She wants me to take the progesterone as directed this month. Yesterday was day 14 and I took the required 4 lines twice a day. I felt like hell much of the time yesterday. I felt like I did prior to my periods all through my thirties - like I am coming down with a cold or flu. As my symptoms cleared by evening, it must have been hormonal. I am thinking I should push through this month's P phase to see if the ratio between E and P become more in balance and if it helps, but, honestly, I am ready to give up on the WP. I'm just afraid to be back at square one when I've made some progress, slight as it is. I'd appreciate your thoughts. Theresa Get the MapQuest Toolbar, Maps, Traffic, Directions More!
