For the most part, it has an inverse relationship to estrogen level. Since you do not have ovaries and do not take estrogen, it makes sense that your FSH is high.
I also do not have ovaries but I take estrogen. When my estrogen level gets rather high, my FSH is low (in the range of a menstruating woman). When my estrogen is on the lower side, my FSH rises.
I was orginally on Depo-Provera for 1 1/2 years (never had a period), switched to Seasonale (major nausea), then switched to Tri-Sprintec (my chest got huge on this pill), and then to Kariva (was great!). I was on Kariva for 10 months. I never took the placebo week, so I never had a 'period'. However, if and when I missed a pill or took it a little late, I always had spotting for a day or two.
Hi-
I am a 17 year old girl and I have been on birth control pills for a little over a year and a half now. I was originally prescribed Ortho-Tricyclen Lo but was switched to Kariva in May of this year because it was said to be the "less expensive generic brand" of Tricyclen Lo. I always felt a little more irritable and noticed my skin got a little more sensitive when I originally started taking the pill, but nothing too bad.
im 33 yo,6yrs trying to get pregnant,recently my repro-endo told me that im not ovulating bec of low estrogen level,and as of now she doesnt know the root cause of having low estrogen,since all my bloodtests were normal..is there anybody out there who experience the same thing..right now my ob instruct me to inject gonal-f.to help stimulate my eggcells..very depressing,frustrating,sometimes i want to give up and loosing hope..pls help me..
In Aug 2007 I started taking Kariva 28 day and stayed on it until Aug 2009. A few months before this, I began having issues with my cycle. I wasn’t getting my period, I got my period early plus the full week I was supposed to, and then I was spotting several days a month. I then found out I had Hashimoto's Thyroiditis and started treatment hoping that would help. I didn't. I went on Portia 28 for 5 months, Junel 1.5 30 tab for 3 months and now I’m on Junel 1/20.
Every time and many doctors (even a specialist) has not been able to level my hormone level. This year my hair is falling out. It is very frustrating changing my levoxyl medication every time and not to mention seeing me change in frighnening way.
What could be going on that is making my hormone level change so much month to month?
Thank you for the help.
By the way I accidently posted a this question to you on another forum.
Last Wednesday I got my period, and I began taking Kariva Birth Control. On friday, My boyfriend and I decided to have sex, which was dumb, but we used a condom with spermicide on it and in it. After a little bit, the condom popped and he pulled out immediately without ejaculating at all. Then we were finished.
I know that people say that girls can get pregnant on their periods, however, i was only on the 3rd day of my cycle and i highly doubt that i could have ovulated so early...
In a 6 month period my estrogen level went from below 20 to over 2300. What could it be?
I am a 'healthy' 53 year old female. 5' 5" and 140 lbs. I have been in menapause for 5 years. (no period). I have taken herbal supplement, "Estroven" since the beginning. I have not had HORRIBLE hot flashes, night sweats or mood swings. However, I have had vaginal dryness. A couple of years ago, I began using Estring 2mg - which helped.
Another factor that can reduce the testo levels in obese persons is the high level of estrogen, which is also used by the brain to assess the teso level. You could probably check the estrogen and SHBG levels also.
In any case, I do not feel you need to go for TRT, only my opinion, you should check up with your doctor.
I did a hormonal imbalance test and it turns out my estrogen level is at 203. The doctor told me to eat healthy, no carbs and no sugar. 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.
My estrogen level today (Monday) was 700-something. They said they will retest me on Thursday. UGH. I should be 6 weeks 5 days pregnant. Should my body be making enough of its own estrogen so that taking off one patch would not make the estrogen level drop??? So bummed, I just want to get good news from now on and be able to quit worrying and start enjoying being pregnant. :(
Please, if anyone has experience with dropping estrogen levels/similar situation, I'd love to hear from you.
I would think you meant heavily built, and in that case, your low T could be caused by higher level of estrogen in your body, do you know your estrogen counts? If in fact high estrogen is the culprit, you should not only keep away from estrogen pills and estrogen rich food, but also try to bring it down by regular exercise and balanced food intake, there by reducing your weight. Reducing your estrogen level will naturally push up your T level.
As follicles/eggs mature, the estrogen level rises. Estrogen levels are useful in determining the degree of egg maturity
If the follicle is too small, the lining too thin, and the estrogen level too low, this is related to a condition called follicular immaturity. With follicular immaturity, the egg itself is immature when it is ovulated and will not fertilize well
Q: What should estradiol (E2) level be at time of hCG trigger?
A: The E2 level should be 200-600pg/ml per 18mm follicle.
Hi,
One lady I know stated that sometimes she was estrogen predominant and adding more estrogen causes her to have anxiety and panic attack Your level of estrogen probably fluctuates to the high side so being on more estrogen can cause anxiety or panic attack. You are at perimenopausal stage and your hormone still fluctuates a lot. One blood test does not really indicate you estrogen stays that way.
Hope this helps.
Good luck.
