Thyroid medication changes when starting HRT for perimenopause
I have been self medicating with liothyronine and levothyroxine for the past two years or so. Today I started the estrogen patch for perimenopause symptoms, and will also start progesterone in a couple of days. The provider that prescribed these said that some women need to increase their thyroid

PSA drop with decreasing Testosterone after Estrogen Patch Therapy
Here's a plot that I made from data taken from the PATCH estrogen patch therapy study. It plots the % reduction in PSA from baseline (100%) at time = 0 as a function of testosterone levels over a period of 4 weeks. As you know, estrogen effectively castrates men, causing a drop in testosterone over

day 12 FET scan - 12cm dominant follicle
Hi all, hope you’re keeping well. I’ve just had my day 12 scan - I’m on meds prepping for a frozen transfer next week. The oestrogen I’m on is meant to quieten my ovaries. On the scan today, one ovary was quiet, but there was one follicle on the other ovary measuring 12mm. The nurse wants to check with

Gynecomastia from ADT - how much?
Gynecomastia from ADT - how much? I am considering asking my oncologist for transdermal estrogn (TDE) therapy instead of Orgovyx to combat my prostate cancer. Since gynecomastia and breast pain are pretty much the only bad side effects from TDE and less troubling to me than metabolic disturbance,

Severe scarring found in hysteroscopy after d&c- any tips on recovery?
Hi everyone, I had a hysteroscopy at the weekend and despite being told it’s unlikely the doctor found severe scarring in the womb entrance and inside my womb. He said it would have been a result of the d&c I had this time last year after a MMC 😢 So for the last year trying for a sibling I’ve

Hi everyone I posted a couple of weeks ago and was advised to have bloods done. These are my results so hoping for further advice in supplementing or adjusting doseage. I currently take 50mcg Levothyroxine and 25mcg T3 daily. I also have B12 injections every 12wks. Latest B12 injection given day after

Estrogen ADT vs Lupron ADT
Here's a chart showing % of men who have a given condition, comparing Estrogen ADT versus Lupron ADT. There's big reduction in hot flashes, and improvements in libido, when taking supplemental Estrogen. Estrogen increases gynecomastia (enlarged breasts), however. Bob

Period after pessaries
So I've completely confused myself with dates. My last period was due on 13th Feb but it was delayed due to the progesterone pessaries. My bleed started on 17th Feb - I based my next period date (25 day cycle) on that. Is that correct? So instead of 9th March it'll be due 13th March? I'm only concerned

No Osteoporosis with Estrogen Patch Therapy
These plots compare results from the Phase-II randomized trial (PATCH) comparing estrogen patch therapy to Lupron ADT. These plots show that Lupron ADT causes bone loss, while estrogen patch therapy has either no bone loss or increased bone mineral density (BMD) over time. Bob

Castration by Estrogen Patch
This plot shows a dramatic decrease in testosterone and PSA after starting estrogen patch therapy, indicating that transdermal estrogen (TDE) therapy effectively castrates men, and with fewer side effects than Lupron ADT.

Zoladex and flu like symptoms
Hey. This may sound strange but does anyone suffer with flu like symptoms with the Zoladex? For the past 6 months I’ve had a number of ‘colds’ which seem to go straight to my sinuses but I have nothing else apart from feeling bunged up and absolutely no energy and achy. Just wondering if it could be
