Hormone Level Numbers - Menopause Message Board

Let's compare numbers!

TSH (3rd generation) 1.248

FSH 6.6

Total Testosterone: 54 ng/dl

Progesterone, serum: 0.4 ng/ml

Serum Estradiol: <10 pg/ml

According to my doctor, I'm approaching menopause. I have so many gastro symptoms, I'm so frustrated.

What do you experts out there think of these numbers? Can I attribute my symptoms to peri-menopause?

What day did u run this FSH. If it was right after your period, yes, FSH is premenopause.

I can not use "actual brand names", "actual site addresses", or "cut & paste", so I will try this.
Use your search engine that starts with a "G" & search for "Hormone Levels & Fertility Bloodwork". Use the exact wording & spacing.

Good luck,

The test was run on day three, I believe. I did a search as JinL suggested (thanks, JinL), and was somewhat enlightened. I still have these symptoms I need to address. Speaking of which, I visited a chiropractor today for the first time in my life and he thinks he can help (don't they all?...LOL), but I think I'll give him a chance.

Take care all.

Chiropractors are good, they can help if they are good ones. If day 3, yeah well looks as though you are perimenopause, just going on what my gyne said and how she explained it to me.
