Shipping from Australia to the US takes a while, so I'm looking at around a month at least before I get it back (although sometimes miracles do happen and things get through quickly). I only got E2 and Progesterone tested, although now I'm thinking that may be a mistake, and I might as well have tested everything at once, although I have never had any symptoms of excess androgens.
I've always kind of thought I was estrogen dominant, since I had many of the symptoms of estrogen dominance throughout my teens and prior to going on birth control. Nowadays though, I don't really get any of those symptoms. I actually have reduced libido and vaginal dryness (TMI I know) now as side effects of the birth control! (related to low estrogen or low testosterone? I'm not sure) I'm really quite curious now how it will come back. I think there is a huge chance now that it will come back completely normal.
