Her UIBC simply means she has no need for iron. Her % saturation is

a bit high as is her serum iron so maybe some further investigation

into HemoC is not out of line. Her BP says possibly some HIGH

cortisol.

as i look at her

blood work i notice her UIBC is low ....i dont really know

what this could mean but we do not have a history of

Hemachromatosis....should i look into this low UIBC or

what could it mean??

was like 68 i think...she is very fit and

athletic

her basal temps the last 2 days at 730 am

have been only 97.7

here is blood work....what do you think

she needs to do...she leaves for college in

1.5 weeks...

Iron serum....132 (35-155)

TIBC.....256 (250-450)

UIBC...Low....124 (150-375)

Iron Saturation....52 (15-55) %

Ferritin...112 (13-150)

concern about insulin resistance correct??)

if you would rather i set another phone consult to answer these question i would be glad to just let me know and i will schedule it1. so since the glucose was ok is that a good thing as far as insulin resistance/pcos goes?? 2. when i spoke to you on phone you were bit concerned about that with her hormone panel....testerone 23 (5-35)....dihydrotestosterone 11.3 (5-12).....progesterone...217.5 (luteal 100-500)....estradiol 1.3 (luteal 0.2-5)...estrone 1.6 (luteal 1.0-4.5)3. would she benefit from progesterone cream?? 4. can any follow up for hemachromatosis wait till she sees doc in december ??5. should she stop supplementing the iron...?? her ferritin was low at one time so want to keep it up high enough....should she maybe only take it 1 time per week?? something like that...since we got her T3 up her

levels have risen easier..and her periods are now 27 day cycles instead of every 2 weeks6. if her cortisol is still high based on bp...should we do something else ..she takes melatonin and bedtime and zinc.....should she try something else to lower cortisol??7. her FT3 is just under the top of the range...should she add more T3 to the mix...currently on 1 grain NT and 12,5 X 4 of T3 meds....

I would stop the iron as that is probably the reason for the high

labs. NO I would not start proigesterone as her estradiol is lwo as

well and it would further imbalance things

if you would rather

i set another phone consult to answer these question  i

would be glad to just let me know and i will schedule it

1. so since the glucose was ok is that a good thing as far

as insulin resistance/pcos goes??

2. when i spoke to you on phone you were bit concerned

about that with her hormone panel....testerone 23

(5-35)....dihydrotestosterone 11.3

(5-12).....progesterone...217.5 (luteal

100-500)....estradiol  1.3 (luteal 0.2-5)...estrone 1.6

(luteal 1.0-4.5)

3. would she benefit from progesterone cream??

4.  can any follow up for hemachromatosis wait till she

sees doc in december ??

5. should she stop supplementing the iron...?? her

ferritin was low at one time so want to keep it up high

enough....should she maybe only take it 1 time per week??

something like that...since we got her T3 up her levels

have risen easier..and her periods are now 27 day cycles

instead of every 2 weeks

6. if her cortisol is still high based on bp...should we

do something else ..she takes melatonin and bedtime and

zinc.....should she try something else to lower cortisol??

7. her FT3 is just under the top of the range...should she

add more T3 to the mix...currently on 1 grain NT and 12,5

X 4 of T3 meds....

I would increase the T3 just a bit more and nto do anything else

till December. Rerun the iron panel then ot be certain it is holding

and has elveled out which it shiould have by then. I would actually

slow down on cortisl lowering treatments as the high ish cort mqay

just be form the stress of preparing for college and new lifestyle,

etc.

i am wondering ..should she quit iron supps completely ..or lower the amount..maybe take them only 1 day per week or a couple of days after period??

and how should she increase the T3..by what amount do you think she should do that?? her tabs are 25 mcg...so maybe adding 6.25 somewhere or in more than one spot??
