Hormone test results

Glory to God! I got my hormone test results back about a week and a half ago, and there were some surprises. I have no progesterone. None, not a drop! My cortisol levels are too low. I've got the highest melatonin levels in the morning, and the lowest in the evening. This is why it is so difficult for me to wake up in the morning and get out of bed. It should be the other way around, low levels in the morning and high levels at night, so I can actually sleep at night. Oh and my adrenals are pretty much shot. So now I'm taking a progesterone cream, an adrenaline support supplement, and sublingual melatonin at night. I've been told that the progesterone cream may take at least 3 months to work. I shouldn't expect an overnight change. The melatonin is working, I also have valerian tea at night to help me fall asleep faster. I'm staying asleep longer and I'm able to get back to sleep if I wake up in the middle of night. As for the support supplement that I'm taking for my adrenals, I haven't noticed a huge change yet. At first my craving for salt late at night which is the key symptom of having fatigue adrenals went away, but it's come back. This could be a result of my sister having her baptism and engagement party on the same weekend and me coming down with a cold. These three things combined really took a lot out of me this past week. And I'm only just starting to feel a little bit more energy throughout the day. I'm still going ahead with my vitamin IV therapy. It really works. It's helped me so much. It boost my energy like nothing else I've tried. I've been able to reduce the vitamin C amounts that I have to take everyday and the probiotics. Eventually I'll be able to come off of the probiotics which is good. Because it would be nice to just allow my body to cultivate all of the good bacteria in my gut and then they can have a big ole party and create even more little bacteria babies to help keep my digestive system in good working order.
