Estradiol: 0.7 pg/mL (normal range 1.3 - 2.8 premenopausal luteal)
Progresterone: 23 pg/mL (normal range 70 - 190 premenopausal luteal)
Testosterone: 38 pg/mL (normal range 18 - 55 for my age)
DHEAS: 5.1 ng/mL (normal range 7 - 18 for my age)
Cortisol: 8.0 ng/mL (normal range 3.7 - 9 in the morning)
Unfortunately, these are the only measures that were tested so I don't have anything else to share.
Also, as a side note, I have just started the Whole30 and will be taking another hormone assessment afterwards (in about 2 months). I have friends who have seen positive results from completing the Whole30 program, including hormone balancing, so I'm hoping it helps!
Hi Sapphire,
The saliva test results confirmed the prior labs (much the same). This sounds like a pituitary issue..........(e.g. not making hormones). Phytoestrogens depress thyroid function. Examples include- PUERARIA MIRIFICA reduces parathyroid hormone, soy inhibits regular thyroid function, all no good for breast growth and overall health.
In other words, hypothyroidism.
