I've been doing the math to calculate my P:E ratio and that's the result that came out.

Hormone || Result || Reference Values

Progesterone || 36pg/mg || folicular phase: 50-100pg/mg; ovulation: 100-150; luteal phase: 150-450pg/mg
Estradiol || 3,0 pg/mg

"Estradiol Conversion Factor: pg/ml x 3.671 = pMol/L
Progesterone Conversion Factor: pg/ml x 3.18 = pMol/L"


So, converting to moles
E 3,0 x 3.671 = 11,013pMol/L
P 36 x 3,18 = 114,48pMol/L

P:E = 114,48:11,013= 10,39 = 10

My P:E ratio is 10:1 when the range is from 20: 1 to 170:1. So very low P.

It sounds really weird to me that one can be so low on P( I dunno anything about it) But what did the doctor said? Do you know what reason(s) could be behind having a low P? Or are you just a low producer of it? Or is it assumed as healthy?

Goodluck fixing it Odile, are you first going to try a couple of periods only working on boosting P?

Yeah ik, I've not done the test during the supposed days, I guess I've done the test during the follicular phase, but they present a reference value for follicular phase as well, and I'm still pretty low. I didn't show the results to my doctor because I've asked her to do new hormonal tests and she've declined. So I've done this on my own, with a saliva kit that Peggy told me about. Idk the causes behind having low levels, but right now, while I'm keep studying about it, I'm off BO and I'm back to my last program. Maca + Mucuna + Reishi + PC + amino at bed time...and I'm adding some nut leaf extract and vit C, B, D. Increasing Zinc and Magnesium seems to help too.

I'm considering repeating the P test after some cycles.
