I am scared, estrogen is up again

Hi Wray,

I am scared.....I had another hormone blood test.

The results:

The Estrogen level has gone up from 1247 to 1680pmol/L in six weeks!

The FSH level has gone down from 4.7 to 2.00 iu/L

The Progesterone level has gone done from 18.7 to 14.0

The LH level has gone down from 3.4 to 1.4 iul/L

I am so frightened because I have used 200mg to 250mg a day of Natpro Progesterone cream for almost 6 weeks. My breast pain has increased again and the swelling in my legs, ankles and feet have got worse again. When I got the results I went to see a GP straight away and she didn't think anything of the high levels or what it is that I am trying to do to balance the estrogen with the progesterone. My own GP said the results were normal! After a while she asked if I had a hysterectomy and did I have the Ovaries removed to which I answered that I still have my Ovaries. Only then did she decide to have a scan done of my Ovaries in case there is cancer of the Ovaries. Should I be worried? What do you think I should do now? My GP told me to stope taking the Progesterone cream....what are your thoughts. I am now very worried that it is cancer of the Ovaries.

It would make me so happy if you could respond soon. Take care and lots of hugs to you. Karenina
