[QUOTE="Amberlin, post: 102307, member: 17922"] FeelingLost, Yes, Defy gave me a baseline test. If you're asking about my waiting on the other blood test to come back, I am waiting on my thyroid levels to come back. It appeared to be at the high end of the range but as we know, sometimes the ranges aren't accurate as is the case with testosterone. My doctor has told both my husband & I for years that our levels were "Within range" but my level at 4 is pretty low on the range (range for women should be between 40-50) My husband's level is around 600 but his Free T level was around 8.9 so that too was obviously very low. His SHBG level was 70+ Your wife's T level sounds high because her progesterone & estrogen are both very low. She probably doesn't feel right & the numbers would reflect that. I do caution against using those hormones through use of a compound cream only because of my own ill side effects via the delivery system. She should report any immediately so they can be addressed. The ratio is about 10:1 so if her estradiol level is 50, then her progesterone level should be at least 5. The ratio is only for serum testing. Test time is really important especially for those tests as hormone levels fluctuate for men & women but fluctuate more so for women & even more during certain times of the month. From the 1st day of her cycle, she counts up to 19-21 days. That window (19-21 days) is the optimal time to test progest/estradiol for the most accurate results which will give her doctor the best picture as to what they're looking at. In order for those numbers to come up, her T level needs to come down. Morning is the best time of day to test. [/QUOTE]
