Well, I can have peace of mind....my cardiologist said my stress echo was "beautiful". A few Pvc's during the test, but other than that all is fine. He told me to try magnesium supplements and to increase my exercise level.
That test was quite hard to get my pulse up to 164 beats! They said it was an accelerated machine and told me I did well..that it took a little longer than most, but I was younger than most people that come through there.
They also say irregular period is due to stress. I did my research stress leads to high estrogen. So I am guessing that is what causing it to be high. But I also read eating foods with lots of vitamins (ex. Selenium. Melatonin, vitamin b, magnesium, etc.) helps reduce it. But all this time I've been on a diet and I have been eating all of that. Does not explain why it is still high. What is a normal estrogen level. And what can I do to lower it? I have been eating less carbs, no sugar.
Can stress cause the vagina to itch and legs to itch and burn if there is no present infections of any kind?
How do you become estrogen dominant if your progesterone levels are normal? Does estrogen just keep overproducing after a past spike in estrogen due to depleted progesterone? I'm wondering why this imbalance between progesterone and estrogen remains and why my body hasn't corrected it after so long. Can a serious bout of stress really do this?
Yes I've upped my B6, C, and B12 and all my other B vitamins. I take multivitamins and have always eaten healthy.
They say stress can effect your period....

I am in my early teens. My period is late by about two days, and it is often quite irregular, but I believe this is due to the immense amount of stress I have been through this past month with school and personal issues. I have been having weird nipple darkening, excess white/clear sticky (and thick) discharge, and I often feel quite sick. To induce my period, however, I have been taking large doses of Vitamin C (3,000mg-4,000mg) for the past week (to help increase estrogen levels).
I had a 12 cm cyst on my left ovary removed a couple weeks ago via a laparotomy (major surgery because I waited too long), they also removed my ovary that was ruined by the 'monster'. Trust me, don't wait on this thing too long. I started having pains about 5 months ago and dismissed it initially as an odd period cycle.
I took birth control for about 8 years. I decided to stop, just for the hell of it (I originally went on birth control to get my period back because it had stopped once I went to college and played soccer in college and was exercising more than I ever had) So after I stopped, about 3 months after, my hair had started falling out at crazy amounts. I would say I lost like 40% of my hair. All hormone levels were normal, thyroid normal, etc.
The estrogen is kicking in with a vengeance and my poor husband has to just grin and bare it all. I think after this pregnancy he will think carefully before attempting to make number 2.
Are you experiencing the same?
All I know is that after you get pregnant you can use an ovulation monitor as a pregnancy test since it can tell an increase just like when you ovulate. I'm not sure how soon after ovulation it works though.
Does anyone happen to know if there has been a connection with too much estrogen causing more neuropathy pain?? Anyone experience the onset of neuropathy after a hysterectomy? I would appreciate any info.
Endometriosis feed off estrogen. The estrogen-dependent endo lesions, if left unchecked, will begin to create their own estrogen.
I do want to clarify that the pill or any other form of HRT does not prevent the Endometriosis from growing. The reason it is used is to help stop the pain by stopping the periods.
I was on a low dose BCP (Marvelon) for 8 yrs continuously and did help with my pain. However it still continued to grow even after deep excision surgery.
I had IVF implantation on Sunday the 3rd. Today I had blood work done at the Dr's office and my Estrogen and Progesterone levels dropped "a smidgen" according to the nurse. They are having me increase my Progesterone shots from 1cc to 1.5ccs and get an Estrogen patch. The nurse says that this doesn't mean that the procedure didn't take but I am worried. It sounds like a bad sign. My question is for other people who have had IVF. Has this happened to you?
My blood work came back and I have low estrogen levels. The insurance won't cover the medication I was prescribed. Does anyone have an idea of a generic brand I can take or something over the counter?
My most recent bloodtest seemed to show relatively high levels of estrogen and prolactin even though they are in range. Would this cause my problems? Can someone help me please...
RESULTS

Thank you!
Before the test I stopped using birth control pills which I started 7 months ago, I stopped because they caused spotting between my periods, now spotting gone. The pills that I have used were low hormone one which means no estrogen. Plus just before the pap smear, after I stop pills, my period was weird, no aching breasts etc, now it is also normal.
So my question is, I think obviously my hormone level was low, can LSIL be related to that?
It could be the estrogen, but in my experience estrogen doesn't make you fat. For me, it wasn't until the progesterone that I felt bloated. It could be stress, making you eat, too.
First off, please don't tell me to see a doctor. I can't right now. I want to treat with vitamins and herbs anyway. I'm pretty sure I'm either estrogen dominant or deficient, but I can't be sure which. It seems that I have most of the symptoms for both, and not just the ones they have in common. I'm obviously leaning toward dominant because it's much more likely being 27 years old.
