My saliva test results are in


So I just received my saliva test results back last night.
I had the cortisol 4x with DHEA with sex hormones.

Turns out that I have slightly high cortisol first thing in the morning upon waking. Lab comments said this is probably because of the overnight fasting.
Level was 9.6 (normal range 3.7-9.5)

Then it dropped drastically around 1pm
Level was 0.9 (normal range 1.2-3.0)

Then for evening (6;30pm) and bedtime (11pm) the levels were normal.
Levels were 1.7 and 0.7

DHEA and testosterone were both in normal ranges (8.7 and 39)

Oddly enough, the worst were the Estradiol and Progesterone levels
Estradiol was 0.6 (normal range 1.3-3.3)
Progesterone was the worst- 18 (normal range 75-270!)

So I'm not estrogen dominant (I THINK) but according to the report I should be in menopause. I'm only 29 :(. Haven't had a period in 4 months.

Can anyone share any insight as to why the cortisol levels would drop so fast but then stabilize toward the evening? These results came after I started high dose vitamin c, which gave me my energy and basic functionality back. I'm thinking that maybe some licorice right after breakfast (around 11 or so) would help keep the levels a bit more stable?

Ladies- if you have any insight into the whole estrogen/progesterone factor please do share! I don't know much about these hormones and how to balance them. I know that I have low thyroid (waiting for the new results to come back) but I don't exhibit the classic hypothyroid symptoms (excessive weight gain/depression/ puffy eyes/brittle nails).

My hair is falling out by the root in massive amounts and I've got stubborn yeast infections. Plus I get breakouts so bad that I look like I'm going through puberty again!

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!
