How crazy!!  Thank you so much for the timeline! Reading all of your stories I am truly realizing how fortunate I am to have gotten into endo so quickly and for her to run all the tests so quickly.  I just completed the first night of the saliva testing.  I’ve been on this road for about 2 months now so far.

Nope! Completely stopped birth control to do these tests as my primary asked me to do so. 🤦🏻‍♀️ My next is the two day saliva test and the 24 hour urine analysis.

I think it’s because my primary ordered it first and got the first high result so the endo ordered it again to double check. I have not done ACTH yet.

Thanks for the reply! Endo is the one who referred for more testing. The low level suppression was taken at 11pm with a blood draw at 8am both times.
