I got my cortisol saliva results from Genova last week but didn't post them on here as I had my first endo appointment today. He seems to think that they look OK. Whenever I've seen analysis of the DHEA : Cortisol ratio, it always seems to be 5:1 or 6:1 so my result has confuddled me somewhat. Also the fact that the DHEA is under range in the pm and pretty close to the lower end in the morning makes me think that something's not right - can someone help me understand what's really going on?
