What a great post--thank you for sharing such a personal story!
I have a question about your hormone levels, as I don't understand why a lab/doctor could not figure this out. Specifically, it sounded like you did get your hormone levels checked with one doctor, who (based on pre-deteremined laboratory measurement criteria) said that your "levels fall within normal range", but all other indicators of experience was saying otherwise (feeling less pain during pregnancy, for example). Your naturopath was able to figure out/assume that your hormone levels were low, without the lab results. Can you explain this more? Do the pre-determined levels need to be reconfigured, to help more women be properly diagnosed? What tools did your naturopath use to determine your low hormone levels (besides common sense?)
