I'm suspecting I have estro. dominance but at the same time I think I may have high testosterone actually. I will order my hormone test soon but I wanted to know if I have high testosterone because I have quite a bit of body hair on nipples and such, high sex drive (throughout my cycle but it's intense during my fertile and luteal stage). I used to workout a lot...but at the same time I had heavy irregular periods, anxiety, very painful breast near period, headaches and body acne... Not sure!
Anyone got any ideas?
Hey Loverandfighter!
I wish I knew what to tell you, but the thing is that a lot of symptoms for estrogen dominance and testosterone dominance tend to overlap. You could even be suffering from both. And then too, it could be other issues, such as: PCOS, hirsutism, endometritis, or any number of things It does, however, sounds like you may have higher than normal testosterone levels but the only real way to be sure is by getting a hormone panel done, which I'm glad you've already signed up for!
Hope this helps!
