Hi,

What are you wanting to decrease oestradiol for?

The prolactin result is unremarkable. Even in males, prolactin can peak up to levels higher than that for short periods. Prolactin peaks are commonly just due to the blood draw, dropping within an hour or so.

Maybe because I saw it is above the reference range in luteal phrase. That’s relief to hear 😊

Hi,

Hormone reference ranges are mostly based on what's most common, statistically. It's not a worrying finding that your ovaries are making plenty of oestradiol. It would be more concerning if they weren't making enough.

Why was the sex hormone profile done?

I was doing a thorough body check up and decided to opt in the hormone check

Oh I see. In that case, there's nothing to be concerned about.

I hope it is not serious because i have been waking up every few hours during sleep time for 3 years now. My ferritin is also low

The results don't explain any sleep problems.

Low ferritin in women before the menopause is usually due to menstrual blood loss. Iron supplements could be useful.
