polycycstic ovary syndrome
Estrogen Levels Too High
QUESTION
Dear Midwife,
My doctor did blood work on me, I was having pregnancy symptoms and the test was negative, it turns out my estrogen level is higher than my progesterone and I have polycystic syndrome. She said that means I am not ovulating. And that’s why I had trouble conceiving the 2 children I have now. It took us 7 months to get pregnant with our 2 year old.C.C. -- A story of courage
I had always been very healthy. I never really went to the doctor for things other than basic check-ups or the occasional sinus infection or bronchitis. But that changed in the early 90's. In 1993, I suffered a traumatic break-up with a boyfriend and was put on Prozac to help with a major depression I was in. I lost nearly 50 pounds within a month. I suffered from insomnia, had trouble with my sinuses and many other little ailments. Then I met David.
