PSA doubling- <.02 March , <.04 July, < .1 October - Bicalutamide monotherapy 50 mg, tamoxifen 10 mg
I’ve been on Bicalutamide 50 mg monotherapy since August 2019 along with tamoxifen 10 mg and finasteride 1.25 mg. PSA went from 65 in August 2019 to < .02 in March 2020 and remained there until July 2022. I have a small inoperable tumor in the left seminal vesicle next to wall of rectum. I’m very

Levothyroxine & Midodrine
hello, I wonder if anyone has any experience taking levothyroxine & midodrine at the same time. I was started on midodrine 3-4 weeks ago and have just increased to 5mg 3x a day as these have a short half life and I have to take my last one 2-3pm to prevent impact to my sleep, it has been tight to fit

Bleeding before FET
I’m due to have my first FET in 2 days time. In the last 24 hours I’ve had cramps and spotting. I’ve been taking 2mg estradiol 3 times daily and started cyclogest pessaries 400mg 3 days ago. I contacted the consultant who advised me to increase the progesterone to 3 times daily. Also we’ll do a scan

Normal total T, lowish free T

Anastrozole with BAT question
As I experiment with BAT (to the horror of some), one of my doctors has strongly told me to limit Anastrozole to 0.5 mg once every two months or, at most, 0.5 mg at the time of injection and 0.5 mg one week later, saying “anastrozole only stops the conversion to estradiol. 2-OHE1 and 16a-OHE1 are

HRT newbie help! NHS appointment, finally!
I needed a post of my own after "130396"s post today about Utrogestan and Estradot. It's taken almost 7 months but my NHS phone appointment is finally around the corner now, next Thursday. GP was reluctant to prescribe HRT herself. My periods first stopped in September 2020, then made a reappearance

Medichecks Result and a warning about testing & HRT
Apologies for the long post (my first) and thank you if you manage to get to the end of it. Bit of history first (there's more in my bio), after 7 years of being bedbound with a diagnosis of fibromyalgia, I was finally prescribed combination T3/T4 in 2018. I hadn't had my bloods checked since 2019

Is it normal to feel anxious when adding Armour?
I just started taking an extra 1/4 grain of Armour. I feel a bit edgy and anxious. Is this typical for an adjustment period? My previous dose was 88mcg Synthroid and 1/4 grain Armour. Adding 1/4 grain because my most recent lab results were this: August 9, 2022 TSH - 4.12 mIU/L …Range: .4-4.50 mIU

Diagnosed with osteoporosis after 9 years on warfarin
I was originally diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2018, but probably had it for 5 or more years before that. After an aortic valve replacement in 2013 with the On-X valve, I was prescribed warfarin. Studies link warfarin to osteoporosis, In Oct. 2021, I started on Orgovyx. I recently had a Vit. D serum

A good lab/package? - Hormone Lab UK Official Test Provider of ZRT Laboratory

A case to push for darolutamide.
out of 68 known Variants that escaped treatment darolutamide is effective against all but one. This article is from june 2021. it is a invitro study so it needs vitro study, then insilico AI to further confirm but it is still important. And even shows resistant variants to abiraterone, corticosteroids

My 51 Month tE2 (transdermal estradiol) Results
Just received my recent blood test results and needless to say that I'm thrilled with the numbers! Still, the ONLY side effect is some degree of gynecomastia which isn't a big deal since I'm still able to do my gym routine five nights/week plus doing 4 sets of 18 rep pull-ups (2 with hands facing forward

Hi I am 57 and have just changed from HRT patches to100mg progesterone and estradiol gel , the tablets recommend take on an empty stomach at night should I use the gel at the same time as I had planned to use the gel after my morning shower ?

When to stop Estradiol patches
When did you stop your estradiol patches in the run up to stimulation? Was it as soon as your period arrived (ie first spots of blood) or only when it hit full flow? Thanks so much!

Estrogen Dose Too High?
My hormones history is very long, so I won'tgo into great detail , but I had a hysterectomy (everything gone) about 16 years ago. I did fine on 1 mg oral estradiol for about 8 years. About 8 years later, I crashed badly with every menopausal symptom. The worse being the psychological ones. Not one
