My periods have become shorter and lighter and now only last 2 maybe 3 days, only needing a light tampon or pantyliner. Day 1 always bad period pains. Cycles a bit irregular (between about 26 and 36 days). Luteal phase is 12-13 days. I’m 31.
Had hormone bloods and waiting follow up with GP but just trying to work out what might be going on.
Oestrodial - 102.00 pmol/L then 138 pm/mol a couple of months apart
Testosterone- 2.10 nmol/L
Procactin - 125 mIU/L
Progesterone (day 3) - 1 nmol/L
Progesterone (day 21 - although may not be the right day so don’t wholly trust) - 28.5 then 25.8 nmol/L
LH - 3.10 IU/L
FSH - 5 IU/L
TSH 1.5 mIU/L
Did a full thyroid profile with Thriva and that was all normal.
i’ve Been trying to understand what it means. I think my oestrogen and progesterone are a bit low, testosterone a bit high.
Or is it just normal to have light short periods and it’s no concern?
I’m worried about fertility - low progesterone particularly. Am I heading towards early perimenopause?
Prostate cancer also runs in the family and I know there’s a link to female cancers, so this is a worry too.
Wonder if anyone can help interpret or offer any ideas?
