No, the blood work was incomplete. As I said she does felt a lot better with the progesterone creme and it did raise her levels to mid level.
UPDATE:
She is feeling better still with the addition of 100mg of oral DHEA. She has more energy and states she feels calmer. We will be following up in a couple months with additional blood work. We are hoping the DHEA will raise her
testosterone enough that supplemental
testosterone is not required. We are mostly concerned about this because of numerous studies of low testosterone associated with heart mortality.
If someone can suggest the extensive bloodwork required to have an accurate picture for women it would be greatly appreciated.
