What Does This Blood Test Result During Menopause Indicate?

Hi! I recently had a blood test to test hormone levels as I'm 50 and have just experienced menopause. I'm wondering about bioidenticals given some continued menopause issues, including hot flashes and anxiety. My tests indicate FSH at 121 and Progesterone at 0.5 and Estradiol at less than 60. REading my test results now (sorry for slowness). I haven't been able to get in to see my doctor (have appointment in a couple of weeks). Would these results indicate I would benefit from bio-identicals?

Hi..Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...
Your tests indicate FSH at 121 and Progesterone at 0.5 and Estradiol at less than 60. These test show that menopause has occured in you.
Actually these level are normal for a post menopausal female with decreased progesterone & estradiol and increased follicular stimulating hormone (FSH).

Bioidentical hormone preparations are medications that contain hormones that have the same chemical formula as those made naturally in the body. The hormones are created in a laboratory by altering compounds derived from naturally-occurring plant products. These can be used for menopause issues such as hot flashes and anxiety.

Don't worry you would be fine
Hope this information helps.
