re: Just got my labs! Can someone help me interpret them? Jun. 12th, 2008 11:42pm
Your lab results are possibly indicative of the 3 beta deficiency form of CAH. I don't know off the top of my head what the level needs to be to diagnostic of that, but the high 17 oh pregnenelone and pregnenelone point to 3 beta, although usually DHEAS is very high with 3 beta. There are some drs who don't believe there is any such thing as late onset 3 beta and consider it a form of PCOS, so you are lucky you have a dr who will treat you.
I don't know why you would have such prolonged bleeding--did you go without a period for a long time? Can you try birth control pills to regulate your periods? I agree that 0.5 dex seems like too much.
