I have a pre nbe regiment that I am on right now to prepare myself for my next round of nbe. Without nbe I have gone right back into all of my premenopausal symptoms, which has been a bugger to say the least.
Here are the last results from my hormone panel
test/ result/ normal ref range
DHEA/ 8 normal/ 3-10
Testosterone/ 11 low normal/ 10-38
Estrone/ 6 Depressed/ 30-58
Estradiol 4 low normal 3-16
Estriol 7 low 12-25
progesterone 30 low 65-500
As you can see, my production of hormones is pretty low and in some areas none existent. Not to mention what little was showing on the test was partly from the bcp I was put on. scary huh?
Anyway, I was temporarily put on the bcp to stop my period for awhile and just recently came off of those. While waiting for my cycles to become normal again, (still no period) I am on the following program to prepare for nbe again.
2 one source vitamins
1 adrenal gland pill (adrenal produces estrone)
1 b-complex pill
natural progesterone cream
natural estriol cream
I am running on my eliptical 3 miles each day and use the 40 minute program on my ab belt every day(I love that thing!!!) I seem to be stuck with those few extra pounds I'm still working on, but they're being stuborn so far.
My UB arrived yesterday and I stuck it in the cabinet until I'm ready. My hope is that in a month or two I will be able to start it. I plan to start noogling again when my kids school starts back in a couple of weeks, then add the ub in as my hormones begin to feel more normal. I will probably run another hormone test and see where I'm sitting at before doing it and then moving forward from there.
