Here is my ostradil reading from medicjecks in March. Luteal phase was highlighted. Is this on the low side? I’m not having periods. Medichecks report came back with both progesterone and oestadil in grey without notes.
This is low on the range, so looks lowish to me? Not sure if it’s like thyroid where in range needs to be.
Trying to work out if my sex hormones are playing a big part of my unwellness. I know it’s a balancing act!
Reading says 320 (122-1094)
Thanks

It's not seriously low, just on the low side. Estrogen is better on the low side. Progesterone on the other hand, is better on the high side. Using bioidentical progesterone may bring your periods back.
I ask mainly because a very common cause of missing periods is Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and you may be able to determine if a person has it by looking at their LH:FSH ratio (I was told this by my gynaecologist as I suspected I might have it myself, but mine was roughly 1:1.). An LH/FSH ratio of 2:1 or higher can suggest PCOS.
Yours is 3:1 so it would suggest that. It's by no means a diagnosis by itself but a ratio above 2:1 would probably motivate a gyne to do proper diagnostic testing. PCOS and Thyroid issues sometimes appear together, I think to some degree they are related.
