Hi Odile,
Thanks for sharing your hormone results. What test did you get done, was this a saliva or blood test (did you order it online? If so please link/advise on source!)?
I had a full hormone level blood check done earlier this year, but I am looking at the results now trying to interpret them and no Progesterone was checked, just FSH, LH, Prolactin, Estradiol, Testosterone and DHEA-S. Actually it seems the same as your blood test done that you posted on your underdeveloped breasts thread, so I'm assuming this one now must be a saliva test as I see you were asking for some good places to get one done!
Seems like the blood tests don't give enough info to be able to analyze on all possible imbalances, so curious where you got your tests done and how much did it cost?
Now that you know you are low in progesterone, would you use PC for a whole cycle or just the luteal phase? I kind of suspect my hormone profile will be similar to yours! Used PC for 2 weeks before I started my current cycle on FG,SP,RC pills and that was the only time I had some serious growing pains, swelling and tenderness. I think I might be low progesterone as well - I have heard this tends to make your body be 'bottom heavy' in terms of fat distribution (I think you mentioned that you have this same issue in one of your threads!)
