test results back-help - Menopause Message Board

I got my results back from my salvia test. Here they are if anyone can help.

Estradiol 9.48 (5.5-13.20)
Progesterone 1239 (259-979)
Testosterone 177.4 (25.0-135.0)

My progesterone and testosterone are high out of range. What does that mean?

Thanks,
Jacqueline

YOur progesterone is really high! Were you taking hormones then? A high progesterone would make you feel as if you were pregnant. Sleepy, depressed, nausea, etc. The testerone would cause you to have facial hair growth or elsewhere in your body of excess. What did ur doctor say or did u do these tests on your own?

I did the test on my own and just got the results back in the mail today. No I was not taking HRT when I did the test. What would cause it to be so high?

A hormonal inbalance! I would definitely have this checked out by a doctor. It isn't going to harm you or anything, trust me, I'm the progesterone queen here. But I would try to get that in balance. The most that would happen with a high progesterone is you are either pregnant, or you'll feel like you're pregnant, sleepy, nausea, depressed, etc. Don't worry, Jac...you will not die or become injured by it. But since you were on hrt after the fact, then had an anxiety attack in the ER, I would discuss this with your doctor, especially taking hrt.

I pulled that patch off Saturday morning before I went to the ER. I know I'm not pregnant my husband had a vasectomy and I just had my period. Would this be whats been making me feel so crappy?
