Chelee,
Since your report states, bilateral salpingo -that means the overies and the tubes are removed. Does the body respond so soon after this surgery
with lower estrogen levels? Have you discussed this with your dr? You mention that your had an estradiol level of 28, a 10-20 /pg/mi estradiol
level is normal for a postmenopausal woman. You are not that high...
did your dr. think 28 was still too high? 28 should not be considered too high...plus your body may still be adjusting. I am sure there are others who know much more on this topic. Your FSH is low, but this test is far from foolproof, you may have to be tested yet again. I am no expert on this subject and know just enought to understand the basic points.
Since you had the surgery, and getting the shots, your body just may need additonal time to adjust hormone levels. Have you seen a specialist
such as an endocrinologist?
Hormone levels are tricky - and your body has been through so much.
Hopefully there will be an explanation to the FSH level.
Kind Regards,
Jean
