Fibroid Rupture Symptoms
I just came back from getting my blood drawn. What are normal progesterone and other hormone levels?
Like always, I am putting the cart before the horse. I want to be mentally prepared for any result that I get. They said it will take three days or so to get the progesterone results back, so I am assuming I'll know something by Friday.
I'm not sure what all tests my doctor ordered, but I know for sure he did progesterone. I also so something that said TSH or something like that. There were a couple of others too. Where can I find information on what normal progesterone levels are?
I am 30 and have PCOS. I was diagnosed with it almost 10 yeras ago. I also have a fibroid that is a little larger than a golf ball and I found that out last year. So my doctor is taking tests to see if I am for sure ovulating. He did an ultrasound yesterday and said he saw a follicle??? However, I am due for my period on 03/17 and I have the usual symptoms now so don't ask but he said we should be having sex during this time because it's about to rupture or will soon.
Hi, I also have PCOS just diagnosed after coming off the pill 1 year ago I am now seeing a fertility doctor cause of my hormone levels which can be out of wack due to PCOS. I say if your TTC see an RE doc who can get you on the right path.
Progesterone levels vary considerably from cycle to cycle and woman to woman, both non-pregnant and pregnant. So the levels can only be averages and they change with the timing of the cycle. In general, the midluteal (middle of the second half of the cycle) progesterone in a non-pregnant patient is 8 to 10, but can be as high as 20 ng/ml. In a pregnancy cycle, it should be greater than 10 to 12 ng/ml to have a better chance of a good pregnancy outcome, but in general, we like to see 16 or over.
Hope this info helps you out. Good luck. <3
Endometriosis VII - Endometriosis and Irregular Menstruation
As we mentioned in previous articles, during the last stage of the menstrual cycle, normally a layer of endometriosis lining in the inside of the uterus is expelled, known as menstruation blood. Instead some of the endometriosis tissues grows somewhere in the body causing endometriosis. They also react to hormonal signals of the monthly menstrual cycle, building up tissue, breaking it, and eliminating it through the menstrual period. In this article, we will discuss the relationship of endometrosis and irregular menstruation
1. Variable amounts of bleeding either heavy or scanty
Variable amounts of bleeding either heavy or scanty is normal for menarche and perimenopause as the menstrual cycle is initiated and during a woman 's forties until menopause accordingly because of imbalance of estrogen and progesterone. In endometriosis, heavy and scanty bleeding are caused by over-production of certain hormones in the prostaglandin hormonal family that controls the aggregation or disaggregation of platelets.
2. Menstrual spotting
Menstrual spotting in the middle of the menstrual cycle may be caused by polyp growth in the uterus. Polyps within the uterus may prevent pregnancy or interfere with implantation of embryo as well as miscarriage. Polyps also cause heavy bleeding as a resulting of rupture of polyps in the uterus during menstruation. Luckily most polyps exit in uterus tend to be benign growth.
3. Prolong bleeding
Prolong bleeding may be caused by endometriosis cysts or fibroid located in the uterus wall as a result of imbalanced hormones of the prostaglandin family caused by excessive estrogen in the body if one type of prostaglandin hormone that helps to stop platelets from clumping together.
4. Long menstrual cycle
An irregular menstrual pattern of long menstrual cycles may be an indication of ovulation problems and can be a major factor in infertility caused by endometriosis ovulation problems resulting in ovulation delay or immature eggs in the follicular phase. Sometimes, the follicle develops but the egg is not expelled from the ovary, caused by low levels of progesterone.
5. Blood clots
Because of irregular menstruation causing imbalance hormone, blood clots usually happen during menstruation if one of the hormones of the prostaglandin family that helps to regulate blood clots is over-produced. In this case over-production of such hormones cause more platelets clumping together and fails to dilate blood vessels resulting in blood clots.
