I have a question about hormones

Thanks for your reply. I have been to an endocrinologist and she gave me prescription for doing saliva test for progesterone and while I'm waiting for results I'm looking around to know more about this. My endocrinologist told me she doesn't know much about progesterones and saliva tests but she let me do this test and I'm going to have them reviewed with an GYN. Do you know Dr. John Lee? He has talked about so much about hormones especially for progesterone. I got his book from my library and he has so many websites and his main one is www.johnleemd.com. Take a look at it if you like it's a lot of useful and interesting information there.

My PCP doesn't know anything and according to her everything is normal. LOL. I had the lab test done for progesterone by an oncologist and told me that my progesterone is low. So I got my results and I spoke to a hormone specialist and he told me many useful information about low progesterone and I have so many symptoms due to low progesterone almost all my life. By this hormone specialist I ordered and did a saliva test for progesterone because I know it's more accurate this way so now I'm like waiting for the results. With all the results I get I will go to my gyn to help me review my results in what I can do about it. My PCP knows nothing in general for her everything is normal and it's a huge difference to what the hormone specialist told me. He really gave me so much useful information I was surprised by. He told me Progesterone is related to thyroid and I have all the symptoms of hyperthyroidism. So far I'm waiting for results.

Hi Melissa,

Thank you for your question! If you are trying to review lab results specifically for the hormone Progesterone, then the best person to review that with you is an OB/GYN. Family Practitioners can also explain these results to you but since Progesterone is an important pregnancy hormone, an OB/GYN would best explain your results.

Wishing you the best,
