Shame you didn't do the test with Regenerus or Genova Diagnostics as they include DHEA as well, which is important when testing cortisol and makes a difference with interpretation.

As you are pregnant I would suggest that you need the guidance of an experienced practitioner on how to deal with this. I'm not sure anyone members can offer safe suggestions in your circumstances.

Hi susie thanks for reply the doctors notes say that they researched it and the waking and bed time results are used in pregnancy and the middle to through the day are not xx

As I know nothing about levels during pregnancy, and Medichecks have made mistakes in their reporting of comments with other people's test results (not adrenal test), my instinct would be to find someone who has experience of this. All of your results are well over range so that has to mean something.
