Since being on the progesterone, all these symptoms have gone away except for the insomnia. But I begin to feel very weak on cycle day 8 or 9, when I'm supposed to take the progesterone starting on day 12.

Yes, I had the free T4 and T3 done, and they were normal (don't have the report in front of me). I had two 3-hour GTTs and while my FBG was 106 one time and 110 the other, the rise and fall over the three hours was normal, according to my doctor. However, my HbA1c was 6.1, which was also pronounced to be fine. All this while low-carbing and putting weight on very quickly.

All my hormones were normal except for the progesterone.

I did make an appointment with an endocrinologist for next Thursday.
