Hormones

So, I just had an annual check up and got a whole bunch of lab work done. I specifically asked to check my hormones as well bc I’ve been breaking out and hair has been thinning. Confirmed I’m anemic, but my iron has always been low. I’ve been taking iron supplements though, so not sure why it’s still low. My estrogen and progesterone levels are just slightly lower than normal, which freaks me out bc I’m 31 so does that mean I’m going through early perimenopause? I have lost 17 pounds, and I’m no longer pre-diabetic. But I am stressed due to work and I haven’t been eating as much bc I’ve been trying to lose weight and eat healthier. Smh, I guess I’m just venting here, I’m already working with my drs on all this. I’m just frustrated, aging sucks.

What has the doctor said about it?

Even if u take iron if you don’t get enough vitamin c your body doesn’t absorb it.

Did they check your thyroid levels?

It sure does. Especially when you have weight gain due to hormones.
