Help me understand hormones

[tootsjwu29]

Hello I am new here and I am trying to ready my body to try for a family but I find hormones overwhelming to understand. Can anyone tell me what this ratio means? Is it estrogen dominance? I have read that the estrogen to progesterone ratio should be around 100 to 10. I have many estrogen dominance symptoms and would like to take care of this before I try for a baby. Thank you!

I'm a do do head and didn't include my ratio results..Sorry!

The ratio of estradiol to progesterone is:
227 pmol/L estradiol to <0.5 nmol/L progesterone

Speak to your GP they should be able to explain it better than I could l!

Thanks I will eventually but I'm trying to understand it at this present moment.

How did you get on ?

Hi there, I found out I was extremely estrogen dominant even though doctors kept telling me numbers are normal. I am on high progesterone therapy. But a huge factor is my thyroid and liver.

Are your liver and thyroid ok ?

@tootsjwu29 what was the highest your progesterone was recorded as before you went on high progsterone?

Im questioning high estrogen for me..
But my progsterone has been recorded @ over 30.
So i dunno

No I have hashimotos and my stool was coming out yellow so I knew I had liver issues.

My highest was <0.5 nmol/L, which is basically almost no progesterone. What is the units for your progesterone. You have to find you progesterone to estrogen ratio* *using this,

Your progesterone to estrogen ratio should be at least 100:1 all the way up to 600:1. My ratio was 5:1 which is pretty bad.

Progsterone the other day

I have a liver condition but different to yours

Oh yes..the liver is very important..

without your estrogen levels..you won't know your P to E ratio
