BJ, Thank you for the website. I will read it more in depth when I have a chance. What is progesterone supposed to do in regards to the endo? My newest doc did do hormone testing. But get this...he realized that I wasn't getting my period and put me on (I think it was)Premarin to induce it. THEN he did the hormone tests! It was after I was on the pills for I think it was 7 days! I couldn't believe it. Because I know that Premarin, I believe, is Progesterone, which is a hormone. So, when they said my hormone levels came back basically normal, I didn't quite understand their reasoning. Anyway, I thought I had found my answer, going to an endocrinologist. I don't think I am going to give up on him yet, but I am discouraged already. Another thing that led me to believe that my hormones are all wacky, is that my chest size is a 38DD almost DDD!! And I'm only 135 lbs. and 5'1"!!! My chest started growing in 3rd grade, and I think by the time I was in 4th or 5th, I was already a C cup!! So, when I asked about that, he told me that my chest size didn't have to do with hormones, that it was based on genes. So, I guess the only good thing about that, is I now have a consultation with a breast reduction surgeon in a week, and I could not be more excited! Well, thanks again for the help. Maybe you have more of an insite now? Hopefully more advice will follow. I appreciate it from all of you! Thanks again!
