Can someone please offer help, ive been suffering for a year and just got blood results today with a high cortisol reading. My doctor said that my contraceptive pill could have caused this, however, I am not on the regular pill but on the POP progesteron only pill.
Is anyone aware of if this raises cortisol levels the same way the regular combined pill does?
Any help would be so very much appreciated!
Please respond here, on the message boards, or in the original post.

A guest on the Cushing’s Help message boards asked:
I’ve been searching every possible alternative explanation. I really hoped I just had a Lipoma but GP was pretty confident no.
I’ve gained about 40lbs in the past year, I bruise easily and I have a Buffalo Hump. Cycle is regular, my mood is good, well ya know pandemic, home schooling, owning a business … Lol I don’t think I’m suffering any unusual stress or anxiety though. I am anxious over the time it’s taking to get any info.
I had blood drawn and an upcoming sono, date TBD, but don’t see my GP for 5 wks!
Can I get blood results over ph and skip right to Endocrinologist if Cortisol is high? Any input of speeding this along?
Anyone else with only a few symptoms?
Thanks!
