Newbie needing help to understand blood results.
I had the remaining half of my thyroid removed at the end of august last year due to a non malignant tumour. (First half 10 years ago for same reason) I live in Spain and am under the care of a private endocrinologist. I was immediately started on 100mg of levothyroxine (brand Eutirox) and calcium

Evorel Patches not sticking!
Hi all. I usually have Estradot patches (Oestrogen only) just moved up to 75mg and a different GP signed off my prescription & put it through as generic. I have therefore ended up with these stupid Evorel patches. They are so enormous! I changed it on Tuesday & today it started lifting up & bagging.

Off-Off-Topic. Estrogen:Androgen Ratio.
New study below [1]. Back in 2004 the research on PubMed indicated that the androgen receptor [AR} was generally wild-type at diagnosis and that AR alterations were a consequence of castration therapy. Conversely, the estrogen environment was generally screwed up at diagnosis. The protective beta estrogen

Dogs and Hot flashes
I have tried everything for night time hot flashes. It seems estradiol patches are helping a little but concerned about side effects. I never have hot flashes when cuddling with a Poodle. The problem is that neither of my current Poodles likes to cuddle all night. My former Sophie would spoon the whole

Racing Heart and Chatty Brain in Morning
I starred on NP Thyroid 16 days ago. I have worked up to 1 grain and started that yesterday. My sleep has been improving. My worse symptoms are a racing heart and chatty brain when I first wake up. As the day goes, I get very tired and sometimes more emotional. I just want to wake up calm. My Natropath

Another Pee-Pee Post
My apology to you 'gentlemen' & 'tough-guys' who are probably tired of reading my repetitious posts regarding incontinence and restroom stories; however, if this helps even one comrade, it was worth my time writing! I have been reading numerous posts about frequent, nightly restroom trips, and I'm wondering

Is it hypothyroidism and not ADHD?
I had been diagnosed with hypothyroidism several years ago and was on Synthroid. I am not sure how it happened, but then I was told my thyroid "corrected" itself and no longer needed to be on it. At the time, I trusted my doctors and didn't know what I know now. I was not doing well at all, but had no

Estradiol Resistance to Arimidex with Low T
The doc and I are scratching our heads over the failure a high dose (4g/day) of arimidex to reduce estradiol below 150. I took my last T injection November 1 when my PSA jumped to 9 and then to 12.5 December 1. Subsequently in mid December the PSA retreated back to 10.0 :) However the estradiol

Does Sigpharm Liothyronine still work?
Hi, I tried Sigma pharm liothyronine for a few months, it worked very well. Starting 1.5 months ago my hypothyroidism symptoms returned, I have absolutely no energy. I did a stupid thing in mid October, I took 3 estrogen pills ONLY (I am postmenopausal), totally contains 6mg of estradiol. I found

Sex hormones low (testosterone, shbg, Estradiol etc)
Hello everyone! I am writing to ask some questions about the sex hormones. I did a blood test on them but the results are quite weird (I am male): For example, from what I have read in this forum, the SHBG and testosterone are opposite hormones; if one is high the other is low. Same goes for Estradiol

43 Month Transdermal Estradiol (tE2) Update
Just a brief history: Robotic RP in 2004. BCR in 2013 (PSA-0.21). 'Failed' lymph node excision in 2017 (nodes identified via Ga-68-PSMA Pet/CT scan). Started applying tE2 gel as mono-therapy in April of 2018 when my PSA reached 0.71. My latest numbers are a bit confusing. Only my ALP is in the same

Forgot estradiol 48 hrs
Sounds dumb but I didn't order more estradiol after my bottle ran out. I did just get a new bottle and started up again but it was 48 hrs between doses. I am waiting to hear from the clinic but am really worried! Anyone know how long is safe to go between doses? I am 6 weeks pregnant.

Lining thickness query
So I had my lining check last Wednesday and it was only 6.3. It started at 3.2 and after 7 days on 8mg estradiol and evorel 50 patches daily it has only grown to 6.3. They are rescanning me later today which will be day 12 to see if it has grown anymore. I was wondering what is a decent/good lining

Where do I go from here?
Hi everyone, this is my 1st post for which I will apologise for in advance….it’s going to be a long one. Everything started for me in December with severe pain in my right side and under my right rib cage. After several visits to A&E the pain was being looked at as gallbladder issues, however after numerous

PSA rising on BAT
I have been on BAT for about 9 months. My PSA dropped slowly from 9 to 6 over several months and now has risen back to about 9. One complication has been the high estradiol which we have yet to get under control. We started measuring estradiol (thanks to Friedman's book) a month or so into BAT and
