Hi Ladies! I finally received the results of my Dr Lee's saliva panels but I'm having trouble reading/understanding them.
Some background - I am a 33 year old female on birth control. I've never had a regular period, sometimes missing several months at a time. Until this year BC has regulated this. This year I have had maybe 3 periods total. I haven't had one since June. I'm not pregnant. My doctors keep passing me off and show no concern. I have an appointment with a new specialist next month (earliest they could get me in) but I don't have the highest of hopes (been down this road before). I've attached copies of my hormone panel, can you help me understand it and what to do to normalize my levels?
It looks to me like my testosterone is low as are my androgens. I also look to be mildly estrogen dominant. Is this a correct interpretation? I'm so very confused!
