Did the report say it was cancerous? How old are you? It also said that woman with higher estrogens had this more, which you do not. Did you ever take birth control pills? My sister had problems with her estrogen and progesterone levels after she took birth control. It really messes up your system. Please bear in mind I am NOT a dr and only telling you what I read from an article of the net. I do not know what all pertains to you if any!
I am a 25 year old female, I had a saliva hormone kit evaluated with testosterone, DHEA, estradiol, and progesterone, also progesterone/estradiol ratio done. The results came back as this,
Estradiol- normal
Progesterone- Low; 47.2 (range of 127-446)
Ratio of Progesterone to estradiol - 33.0 Low; (range of 200-600)
Testosterone- 83.5 High; (range of 6.0-49)
DHEA- 366.7 High- (range of 106-300)
I can tell that i have way higher 'male hormones' than the women's hormones but, why?
My hcg has always run high enough for "twins" as far as normal for week by week with twins and I've had 3 single babies so far.
Can you tell how far along you are with the hormone level from the beta test? I got my results today and my level was 57,972. The nurse said I'm probably around 5 weeks but going off of my lmp I should be 9.6 weeks. I really can't go off of my lmp because with my son, I had gotten pregnant right before my period so I didn't know how far along I was until my ultrasound.
I'm a twin and a ftm I'm 22+2 with only one precious little girl.
When TSH levels are low, thyroid hormone levels are , typically, high and the patient is hyper. TSH is what many doctors go by when determining thyroid status and deciding whether to medicate, increase/decrease, etc. It's important to know, however, that TSH is a pituitary hormone, not a thyroid hormone and there are many circumstances under which it does not correlate well with actual thyroid hormones.
Free T4 and Free T3 should be tested every time TSH is tested.
Im currently pregnant with twins. We found out after the third ultrasound so a big shock for us. I had a slight feeling that we could have twins because my belly was rounder, more peeeing, veryyyyyyyyy tired and no appetite. The way before we found out I dreamed about twins and watched a lot of twins pregnancy on YouTube.
As soon as I found out I was pregnant, the doctor took blood to test my hormone levels. They said"you need to get into your ob asap because it isn't an early pregnancy. It's between fifteen and nineteen weeks." Naturally, I freaked out a little thinking I had missed my first half of my pregnancy! At my ultrasound I found out I'm actually only 7 weeks and my hormones are just crazy high...
The HCG (it is a hormone) levels rise only in pregnancy and hCG can be detected in urine after implantation of zygote in the wall of the uterus. So HCG presence will confirm the status of your pregnancy. Ideally urine for pregnancy test should be done after 1 week of your missed periods date.
I hope it helps. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
Hence twins are a likely outcome. Another condition that can have high levels of HCG is a molar pregnancy which is an abnormal form of pregnancy. The ultrasound scan will help make the diagnosis.
The answer is based on information provided. Exact advice is not possible without a proper examination and investigations. You are requested to consult your Doctor. Take care and keep us posted.
Thank I'm so excited :) can't wait 4 my first scan
s sisters are fraternal twins, so there are multiples in my family. I work with a woman who had an HCG level of 1800 at 5 weeks pregnant. I am now about 6 weeks pregnant and haven't checked another HCG since the last one which was 3000 at about 4 weeks. I am scheduled for an u/s....BUT am soooo curious! The doctors I work for are all convinved I'm having at least 2, but who knows until that u/s. What were your numbers?
HCG levels can also help to confirm if you are going to have twins or multiples, because you will have higher hCG levels with a twin or multiple pregnancy. Still, the levels of hCG present on any given day still fall within what is considered a “normal” range for a singleton pregnancy. HCG levels alone are not enough to guarantee that you are going to have twins.Testing the specific levels of hCG can tell a health care provider certain things.
