Dr. Almen,

Thanks much, and I will talk to my OB/GYN regarding her further diagnosing during the D&C. I will be Day 9 of my cycle (JUST finishing menstruation) Should this be an issue? Also, how much does the Cortisol level really control blood pressure? Having the test come back at an abnormal level, leads me to believe that the hypertension could be hormonal as well.
