Hi Autumn16
As Menomale has shown, estradiol levels do vary from lab to lab and in fact although the GP notebook reference range is lower than some of these (but cautions there will be slight variation between labs), they are all in the same ball park - so for example if your readings were taken at the pre-ovulatory peak then a couple of hundred here or there probably doesn't make any difference.

Reference range (oestradiol)
pmol/L
50-200 males
70-510 females: early fol. phase (day 5)
390-1480 females: preovulatory peak
70-600 females: luteal phase
< 130 post-menopausal
Note that reference ranges may vary between laboratories.If your progesterone was that level, then that is not low for either the follicular phase (first half of the menstrual cycle) nor post-menopause and is consistent with the fact that you might have just ovulated. Progesterone does not need supplementing on this basis - this is a fallacy and you won't find NHS nor private gynaecologists recommending you need to do so except in cases of heavy bleeding, anovulatory cycles, thickened endometrial lining and sometimes pms (although this is controversial).
I am unfamiliar with the oestrogen levels that can be obtained during peri-menopause (the oestrogen surges women refer to) in the absence of ovulation and whether levels reach anywhere near the pre-ovulatory peak. If they do then that is also an explanation for your high levels - several follicles trying to ripen but not one becoming dominant as with ovulation. Only your doc/specialist referral will be able to tell you if it is a concern.
Incidentally do I remember from a previous thread that you said you tended to get urticaria at the end of your cycle just before a period when oestrogen is low, or have I remembered wrongly? Also did you have urticaria around the time you had the blood tests done? If not then your blood tests results demonstrate that it certainly can't be due to high oestrogen levels
per se !!
Anyway all the best with your continued care and hope you manage to get it all sorted including doc appointment and referral if necessary. It is wonderful that you feel strong enough to keep fighting at this stage. I really do feel that whatever we on here (this forum - and with the help of the info on this website) can do to help improve the treatment that women get in even a small way little by little - from the grass roots up - then - that has to be a good thing
.
Do keep us posted which I am sure you will.
