Confused About Sex Hormones and New Test Results

[Guest guest]

I just got my sex hormones tested for the first time.

Estriadol 15 Male(20-49 years): 1-3 pg/ml

Progesterone 125 Male(adult): 5-95 pg/ml

Testosterone 38 Male(20-30 years): 60-110 pg/ml

I'm 23 years old, so I understand the the low testosterone and high

estriadol is bad. But what does the elevated progesterone mean?

Do I have to take special supplements for these issues, or will my sex

hormones normalize as my adrenals and thyroid heal?

And I'm not sure what my new test results mean.

7:00-8:00AM 10 Depressed (13-24)

11:00-Noon 3 Depressed (5-10)

4:00-5:00PM 1 Depressed (3-8)

11:00-Midnight 17 Elevated(1-4)

Cortisol burden: 31 (23-42)

DHEA: 3 Borderline (3-10)

Saliva Thyroid Study:

fTSH >600 HIGH (Borderline High is 86-120)

fT4 0.20 Normal (.17-.42)

fT3 0.37 Normal (28-1.10)

TPO Negative (Normal: Negative)

Previous test results from April 2007.

7:00-8:00AM 13 Normal (13-24)

11:00-Noon 3 Depressed (5-10)

4:00-5:00PM 1 Depressed (3-8)

11:00-Midnight 1 Normal (1-4)

Cortisol burden: 18 (23-42)

DHEA: 25 Elevated (3-10)

Saliva Thyroid Study:

fTSH >600 HIGH (Borderline High is 86-120)

fT4 0.29 Normal (.17-.42)

fT3 0.53 Normal (28-1.10)

TPO Negative (Normal: Negative)

So... over the past 10 months, my AM cortisol dropped, but my midnight

cortisol went through the roof. How would this happen?

And my DHEA crashed hard.

I had my new testing done after I had been on 30-40mg HC for about 5

months. I weaned off of it because I was impatient and wanted to see

if it had any effect on my results in that that short period of time,

but I guess I should've just stayed on it.

Oh well, at least I now know where I stand.
