Hi Hildi,
Sorry I don't know about how ssris affect things. I can never remember how everything affects everything else for more than about an hour after I've read it.
Of course I do get enjoyment out of reading things over and over this way, LOL.
I think I remembered reading that licorice actually increased cortisol. Most of the websites seem to advertise it for 'adrenal exhaustion' which is low adrenal output.
Also since changing one hormone level affects another I guess I'd worry that if you are taking bovine ovarian supplement, licorice and other things, that it could end up pushing the levels of what they are testing into the normal range and you wouldn't be showing what you really are. Probably the reference ranges are wide enough that a small effect wouldn't be noticeable. I'm just a worrywart.
Good luck with the testing Tuesday.
Now that I'm feeling a lot better with the BC pill I've been reading up and think I need to replace testosterone too. It probably never ends, lOL.
Kate
