I'm female and had an incident with massive menstrual bleeding for several months after a detox supplement, I got a blood test done to evaluate my hormone levels. I'm not knowledgeable enough to interpret the results and my doctor told me the levels were normal but how can it be normal? After what I went through. Took high dose birth control for a month 4 months ago to try and stop bleeding but it just made things worse. I feel the pills added to my estrogen dominance. My bleeding was eventually stopped by acupuncture and my next menstrual cycle was delayed for 2 months and now it's back with almost the same intensity. I'm back to acupuncture again. Figured it was time to ask about my "normal" hormone levels. Here are the results from two months ago.
LH:
1.5 IU/L
Follicular: 1.9-14.6
Ovulatory: 12.2-118.0
Luteal: 0.7-12.9
Post-menopausal: 5.3-65.4
DHEAS:
6.5 umol/L
Range 1.65-9.15
Progesterone:
0.2 nmol/L
Follicular: <3.7
Ovulatory: <57.2
Luteal: 3.4-83.6
Post-menopausal: <0.7
Estradiol:
251 pmol/L
Follicular: 45-854
Ovulatory: 151-1461
Luteal: 82-1251
Post-menopausal: <202
Prolactin at the time was elevated at 25. Range was <23.99. It has now lowered to a 17.
Copper is 14.1. Range was 10.7-22.3.
Should these hormone tests be trusted since the levels rise or decrease according to where I'm at in my cycle?
