Progesterone? could i have too much?


i have incessant, non stop periods and my gyno cant figure out why! i was doing some reading and thought maybe i could have a hormone imbalance involving too much progesterone. i am 23 and am way too young to be this sick of my life.
my biggest concern besides the nonstop bleeding is the horrible fatigue! my every waking moment is unbearable sleepiness.
yes, i have been tested, negatively, for everything from lupus, rh ara, thyroid, numerous clear ultrasounds, ect.
i read that progesterone causes sedation, which would precisly describe how tired i am.
could this be possible and could anyone tell me more, and about treatments that could end the bleeding pain and fatigue if it is too much progesterone
by the way, i have never been anemic.
where is doctor house when you need him.

Anything is possible. Hormonal imbalance can be difficult to accurately detect. The usual signs of too much progesterone is feeling down or letharged, weight gain/loss and sensitivity to the breasts (like when you get your period - more or less how you feel before).

If you are on the pill have a look at the dosage between the estrogen and progesterone and that will tell you if one is higher. The estrogen is generally two weeks after your period and the progesterone is two weeks before.

Otherwise, if you're not, I would suggest seeing a naturopath as there are some excellent estrogen based herbs to help, if this is the case. Either way they may pick up something the doctor can't.

if they can treat you for having too little they should be able
to treat for having too much. Like when I had my hysterectomy they put me on Premarin & estrotest. If you have ask a Nurse there call and ask see what they say. Could be you need a new Dr.
Good Luck
