I can understand how you feel here.  Ashleys levels at the last count were 2850ng/dl where 17 OHP is concerned, but the androstenedione levels were within normal range apparently.  i feel that it depends how long they have had the 17 OHP levels raised.  I have found from experience due to Ashley under treatment last year that it can take up to a month for ranges of 15’000ng/dl to come back down to the normal ranges.  I am not sure how long it takes to stomp on the other hormones though and bring those back into range.  Whether they respond more quickly than the 17 OHP and drop or whether they are the ones that remain elevated longer than the 17OHP.  All I know is that it took 4 weeks precesely on one third more than the normal daily dose (he was on 15mg per day and they raised it to the equivalent of 25mg per day) to get it back into the normal ranges and down to 40nmol/ or thereabouts which would have been roughly 1200ng/dl at the time.  It was quite worrying really.  When I brought up the question as to what other androgens (such as dhea’s) would be levated bwtween androstenedione and 17 OHP that we had not determined, I was told that just by knowing the androstenedione alone and the 17 OHP, they could tell it wasn’t a big issue.  Still bothersome though because we had no illness and those results took 6 weeks for us to interpret so really, technically, androstenedione could have been much elevated by that time. 

It is very frustrating that it can take so long for  blood tests results to be interpreted.
