So after much research and waiting for her to ask about hormone levels my wife finally did and i presented her with everything that i had come up with. We were certain that she had a hormonal imbalance for many reasons. Low sex drive, low energy, emotional, body changes, small stature, etc. She is an otherwise healthy 30 year old female with diagnoses of chronic fatigue syndrome and fybromyalgia which can be caused or be mimicked by hormonal imbalances. So she went and had blood drawn on the 3rd day after onset of menses and the lab came back with
FSH 7.7
SHBG 116
TSA 1.16
Progesterone less than 0.5
These show that her progesterone is that of a post menopausal woman and that her SHBG is elevated which should lead to low free test levels.
The lab messed up the estradiol and total test results so she had a redraw on the 7th day after onset menses.
Total Test 16
Estradiol 132
If we divide the total test by the SHBG we get 0.16 for free test levels. Though the second blood draw could possibly be higher than the first it's my opinion that her total test is low and that her estradiol is high.
Just trying to get some vets opinions that have more knowledge and understanding of female hormone levels. Any help is greatly appreciated and my wife's health and overall since of well being is my utmost priority.
