My GP was adamant there was nothing wrong with my hormones, he never tested them
each time I went to him he just blamed everything on depression and anxiety
I've been telling him for years that I shouldn't ache as much as I do and that I just didn't feel right! I wasn't prepared to accept it was all in my head so we went private and low and behold lowish estrogen, virtually no testosterone, vit d insufficient (which my GP didn't think needed treating)! And oestioporatic in one of my hips
I've only just turned 40 back in July!
I was taken off the combined pill when I was about 34? Had the Mirena for a year (couldn't wait to get that out)! Then after that was put on the mini pill cerazette which I took until April this year.
I wish I knew what my prog levels are
as like you say if our estrogen just keeps on rising and rising without the prog to counter balance it it must cause an imbalance and all the problems that brings along
