I am on 100 Sandrena , 100 utrogestan and testogel sachet ( 1 for 8 days).

These are my results. Unfortunately, I am gaining weight...and losing /thinning hair

17 Beta-Estradiol – 52.1 pg/mL

Progesterone – 1.640 ng/mL

Testosterone – 1.430 ng/mL

Any advice if these are ok? What can I improve?

Thank you🙏🙏

Hello Lizzo30, thank you for your reply! I am not sure about the level of estradiol, I was told that my level if anything is too low. The range for postmenopausal women is 5- 138.
