These all work together to produce these hormones. Dig deeper.
Your output is extremely low, Im surprised you get a period monthly (or do you not?)
What were you taking for nbe? Just to warn you, anything you do for nbe (supplementing with progestins like PC), are results that are going to be temporary until your output is optimally functioning, speaking from experience here.
So please fix this before attempting any nbe. Vitex is questionable since its effects are complexed. It may actually help you, but if its raising your prolactin levels, it may compete with progesterone, but that's the thing, we don't know what's causing your Low P levels.
Where you on BC for a long time?

although i'm taking vitex for a week ago my progesterone results is low and my estrogen is high .
this is the most bad type of estrogen dominance, i think it will be so hard for me to gain any growth on my breast now .
i really need help girls i'm so down
what to do now ? i didn't expect this result at all, i feel i need a miracle now
i'm in my luteal phase and my test results is :
estradiol (estrogen) : my result 326
normal range (31-274)
progesterone : my result 0.71
normal range (0.8-3)
my thyroid result is normal.
so what should i do now ? and what to do with this 3 bottles of pm and the pm atomizer i bought ? will i not be able to use them at all ?
and is sp suitable for me now ? i heard it's not suitable for estrogen dominant .
i think my gained weight was all in my lower part because of it together with my estrogen dominant case .
i read in a thread here that in such case i recommended to use a weak phyto-estrogen like crushed flaxseed to replace my strong estrogen so, isn't fenugreek suitable for this replacement too ?
are wild yam, dong que and fennel ok for me ?
so what to take and what not to take ? i don't know, i'm really upset and confused now
thanks tibetan for being here ,
i wasn't on bc at all and my period is so regular but so painful
i tried bo with no results for 8 months and when i used pm atomizer in my luteal phase i missed my cycle so i stopped it after one week of using it and my cycle is regular now .
so how to know if my adrenals, ovaries, hypothalumus and pituitary are functioning as they should ? what tests do i have to do ?
i know this case might recommend a doctor but i tried once going to doctor with no useful result, so i wanna know what's my problem and treat it with myself .
so would you please help me doing that ?
You are going to need an endo/HRT doc at best. But you can get some testing done on these glands with your doctor if they agree to do it. You can do blood draw or saliva, though I hear bloodspot testing is best. If you can get some of these tests done, through:https://store.zrtlab.com/
You can do that (you won't need a dr, unless you live in Cali ;( )
You can ask for HGH output, LH, FSH, prolactin, cortisol panel (all 4) at the least. Are you sure your thyroid is in range? You just never know with these doctors. Misdiagnosing is always happening. Range should be swiss Standard not U.S. standard. Ask him what the number of your TSH is and it should fall in range of 0.5-3.0
There are quite a bit of tests in regards to the hypothalamus, wow! Please read about it:

Your doc may say you are paranoid or don't need it, but tell him you would like to know all about your endocrine functions. Its for you, not anyone else. You have a right to request it. Store your PM in the fridge, or pour all your pm in jar of vodka and let it brew, shake it up every other day. By the time you are ready to take it, it will be nice and potent
thanks tibetan , i agree with you that's endocrine test is highly recommended .
and yes i just received my TSH,TF3,TF4,TPO results and all are within normal range .
so now i'm gonna ask for HGH output, LH, FSH, prolactin, cortisol panel,
am i in need of screening any thing els ?
