Depression, Anxiety, High Estradiol Levels, Low Progesterone. Using Progesterone Cream. Will I Be Okay?
Hi. I am 18. I used to have depression and anxiety due to hormonal imbalance. I have done a blood test recently, and the results showed my estradiol levels are high, 206 ng/ml while progesterone level is in the post menopausal range, mine baing 0.3 ng/ml. If this low progesterone continues this way, I might experience infertility later on in my life. I am currently applying progesterone cream at 0.5ml on the 18th-26th day of my menstrual cycle. I am currently also on a juice fast for detoxification for my liver. Can I have some advice on how to increase my progesterone levels and reduce the estrogen besides applying the cream?
You need to consult your gynecologist for this problem. However depression and anxiety can be treated by using medications including SSRIs and / or SNRIs. I hope you have a wonderful day !
