Avatar f tn A score of Estrogen Receptor positive (ER+) means that estrogen is causing your tumor to grow, and that the cancer should respond well to hormone suppression treatments. If the score is Estrogen Receptor negative (ER-), then your tumor is not driven by estrogen, and your results will need to be evaluated along with other tests, such as your HER2 status, to determine the most effective treatment. Positive vs.
Avatar f tn My HCG levels are good but progesterone levels are low. Like it was 6.9 on 10th day post ET and went down to 5.0 on 13th day. I am worried, but my HCG levels went up from 104 to 434 on the 13th day. Does anybody know why it is dropping? I am taking crinone 8% gel twice a day. Please let me know if anybody experienced the same kind of situation.
Avatar n tn Also from my doctor, I learned that one can be both estrogen deficient and estrogen dominant at the same time if progesterone and estrogen are low, and due to our exposure to estrogens & phyto estrogens in environment and foods. So alot of balancing is required and diary your symptoms for your doctor, and balancing your doses of the creams based on your symptoms, always start low and work up, also know that with estrogen, the symptoms of too much and not enough, are the same.
Avatar f tn My estrogen level was low at my last blood test which was 5 days after a 5dt. It was 47 and they said it should be around 100. They gave me supplements to take twice a day. This happened to me last try and it didn't work. Has anyone else had low estrogen like me and still had a positive pregnancy test?
Avatar n tn I have very low Estrogen & Progesterone levels. I was told 28 is the high end of levels and i am a 4. Is this an easy fix for fertility purposes or is my new DR making light of the situation? I feel like i have no idea about this sort of stuff and have never had any issues in that area before. I have regular cycles, etc. I have been off pill for almost 3 years and we weren't trying to get pregnant but not not trying either. I am 32 and he is 34, neither of us have children.

Avatar n tn I read that this was due to low cortisol levels because cortisol is made from Progesterone so if your Progesterone levels are low, your cortisol levels will be low and cortisol has an anti-inflammatory affect on the body. Also Estrogen dominance promotes the release of histamine. I started on 20mg of progesterone Kokoro cream twice a day because I am thin & I read that thin women need higher doses for 3 or 4 months to get progesterone levels up.
Avatar f tn 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?
Avatar n tn If you have to low progesterone you have a high chance of miscarriage as it helps the uterine linning for the baby to be able to attach and stick. I have low progesterone and need to take progesterone suppliments from the dr. Lots of times in IVF you have low estridol and progesterone and have to take both at certain times.
508203 tn?1233234804 m hoping that the worsening sickness is my hormones increasing. I will request that they check my progesterone and estrogen too, my mum has low progesterone so maybe I do too. I'm sure of the dates that I ovulated (however my temperature is a little sparadic so it could be give or take a few days. My doctor knew I ovulated late, but her results may still be going by first day of my last period.
Avatar f tn And she just started me on estrogen and progesterone supplements this week since they were all low/non-existent.

Avatar m tn If a pituitary tumor isn't producing excess hormones and isn't impinging on other arreas of the brain, what point is there in doing surgery?None, probably. However, if, instead of producing excess hormones, the pituitary is producing less than normal levels of hormones, (partial or complete hypopituitarism), the target hormones (e.
1112615 tn?1258650318 Nurse called and confirmed that my estrogen level was low and that is why I have been suffering. They had me on the vivelle but it did not work plus the terrible side effects. They wanted to put me on Enjuvea which is another synthetic hormone with basically the same possible side effects. I told them I was going to try the phytoestrogen therapy vitamin with isoflavone and the progesterone cream because it is a natural approach. What td you all think?????????
Avatar n tn I always thought that low estrogen is causing these symptoms. What do you think? My GP told me that my estrogen levels are still low for my age and she would increase the Estrogel, but she isn't an hormone expert, so she don't want to intrude.. Thank you!
Avatar n tn Your free t4 is barely hanging on! The TSH of 2.2 is not bad, but may not be ideal for your body. Still, it seems unusual for the free t4 to be so low compared to the relatively normal TSH. I'm sorry I can't be of more help. Perhaps try posting on the doctor forum on this site.
Avatar f tn I am 30 years old with pcos and the doctor is now telling me I has low progesterone. My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for 6 months, and now I may have to use progesterone to conceive and it's freaking me out because I have had blood clotting issues in the past. Has anyone ever had this same thing?
Avatar f tn I am taking both the estrogen and progesterone via creams that i put on my skin daily...im pretty sure that i am post menopauseal so im already contending with that. The doc said that even though I was estrogen dominant it wasn't as high as it should be either so put me on a small dose.
Avatar f tn and extremely low in progesterone. I am now on low dose of bioidentical progesterone, feeling somewhat better. I just had my levels rechecked after 6 months due to change in symtoms ( lots of hot flashes). Awaiting resutls, but I am sure my progestrone is low again because of terrible, insomnia. My dr. says you need to balance progesterone with estrogen..... this is just an opinion... but do make sure she checked your levels before she gave you horomones.. not just assumed.
546318 tn?1328193635 If you check my tracker you will see my bbt is higher than ever- 37c (my low cover line is 36.6) so my progesterone levels must be high. If I am pregnant should my estrogen levels be higher than at time of ovulation or is it normal for them to go slightly lower? Any replies much appreciated!
Avatar m tn I do feel more fatigue and lazy around day 21-day 25 than I do through-out my cycle. Just wonder if low estrogen and low progesterone could cause spotting, fatigue and infertility? And how to help fix it.
