Could this solve recurring UTIs that many of us suffer with?
Saw a lovely new GP today who may have struck gold re why I have been thwarted with recurrent UTIs for three years. Sometimes, even though there is blood in urine, results show no presence of UTI. So I was fast tracked for cancer tests, however all came back negative - thank goodness. So went to see

Estradiol (estrogen) & Selenium.
New study below [1]. Elizabeth Platz [Johns Hopkins] has been involved in many interesting (to me) PCa studies over the past 3 decades. Including this one. It is an estradiol-selenium study using NHANES III data (National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey), but the context is the possible link

New Member - No Doctor - Help Understanding Tests
Greetings everyone! I am a new member. You recently assisted me regarding my beloved mother in my post about Congestive Heart Failure (thanks so much).

Dihydrotestosterone [DHT] & PCa castration resistance [CRPC].
New study below. A dozen years ago, with PSA continuing to rise, & no good conventional options at the time. IMO, I decided to try testosterone supplementation. My understanding of DHT at the time was this: - the appearance of DHT in a prostatic cell caused the generation of an enzyme to clear it. This

Gaining weight like crazy - have no thyroid due to cancer
I have been trying for 6 years to get my body normal and switched doctors often to try and get help. I am 30 years old. After having my thyroid removed for cancer 6 years ago, I started on Synthroid in 2012 and gained weight and had depression. I was on 150 mg of synthroid and my blood showed free

Chonic tendonitis for a year
Has anyone else dealt with this issue? I've had this problem in ankle foot area. Extreme pain in ankle bone also. This effects standing and walking so much. Nothing has seemed to help much. Estradiol pills helped some with loosening my muscles and tendons, but need more help. With this and other FM issues

Long protocol - should I try it?
Hi all So had baseline scan on Wed, endometrium too thick again this month indicating an abnormal cycle. Oestradiol too high again, bascically I gave geriatric ovaries. It’s hopeless trying with my eggs. But I still have NHS funding left as I was given a second set of funding after they made an error

Third transdermal Estradiol update and 'exposure'!
Just received my latest PSA, T, E2, and AP results and I must say that so far I'm quite pleased. I am still using JUST tE2 gel daily, and one 0.5mg Avodart every third day and my PSA has reached a new 12 year low with NO side effects other than the little man-boobs which appear to have reached a plateau

Help with results and restarting meds
I posted a couple of days ago and had lots of lovely replies from people on here. I’ve now got some blood test results from 2 weeks ago. Re thyroid they are as expected because i’d Stopped taking T4, T3 and oestrogen gels about 3 weeks before these were taken. I have restarted my Levo today at 50ug.

Meds stopped - about to restart
I started feeling so jittery with palpitations and feeling really unwell that I stopped taking everything about 5 weeks ago. No T3 - was taking 20ug no levo - was taking 75 ug and no HRT 1.5 mg Sandrina estradiol. I can’t in all honesty say I have felt very different from how I mostly normally feel,

Friedman - DHT, etc..
Reading Friedman's book on hormones and lowering DHT ... but he states that higher levels of DHT decrease Bcl-2 and the proteins that protect the prostate cancer cells from dying. DHT lowers Bcl-2 levels five times more than T (p176) and low Bcl-2 is a good thing, leading to more apoptosis. Then he goes

Melatonin - Review.
New review paper from Spain below. I have been using melatonin for PCa for 15 years. Initially at 40 mg before bed; ultimately at 50 mg as per change in LEF recommendation. But not before I reviewed the literature. This is the PCa section: "3. Melatonin and Hormone-Dependent Prostate Cancer Prostate

Sickness after stopping medication
Hi, I had a BFN on Monday and so stopped taking all of my medication that morning. I was taking prednisolone, progesterone pessaries and estradiol. On Monday evening I started being sick, this continued every half an hour for the whole night. It was horrific. I had stomach pains as well so put it down

Estradiol & PCa.
New French study. Nalakrats will get a kick out of this one. "Our objective was to assess the concentration levels of sex steroids in prostatic tissue and serum, in two cohorts of patients with localized PCa or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)." "The levels of Total Testosterone (TT), Di-Hydro-Testosterone

Ranting today: bloody lazy lining (before FET)!! Always too thin... we're close to giving up
Sorry I need to scream... my lining is so bloody lazy, day 11 today, scan shows 6.4 mm, not quite trilaminar... I am already on a relatively high dosage of estradiol and it scares me A LOT to have to take estradiol for much longer, or even to increase the dosage, I am so worried about risks, that's the

Anyone taking estradiol vaginally to prepare the lining?
Hi there, I would be interested to know who out there is taking estradiol vaginally (to prepare for the lining, but also after embryo transfer), and if so what were you told about it compared to orally. Also, if you take it vaginally, can you let me know whether it is Progynova, Estrofem, or anything
