Experiences with

Estradiol / Testosterone

I know of three men using high-dose trans-dermal estradiol (TDE) to suppress their testosterone (and thus their cancer) for 4, 6 and 20 years without progression, but these are mere anecdotal evidence. I seek more anecdotal evidence or, better yet, some authoritative data.

What's your estradiol? 4. What's your testosterone? 5. What's your DHT (if you measure it)? 6. How long have you been using estrogen? And, anything else you'd like to share. I will analyze all of the data and present a report. Thanks very much! Bob

They have put me on testosterone cream I started 3 weeks ago, because I was midrange on Free testosterone. Estradiol and progesterone in a good ratio to each other, higher in range too.

These came through today. Tests were Thursday 7/11. 8.30am. Water only before test. T4 taken 23 hours before and T3 taken 15 hours before test. I take 25mcg T4 Levo and 2 x 10mcg liothyronine per day. I have an intolerance to Levo. First dose was 100mcg and I had suspected heart attack - ischaemic

I have a history of oligometastatic PCa since dx in 2013. See my profile.

The only pain I’ve ever experienced

I received an email from my surgery tonight from my registered GP (who I do not see anymore) sent by an "admin" Dr advises the results are not the normal ranges for NHS so difficult to interpret, advise to contact medichecks for interpretation, iron at 9.3 (10-30) difficult to interpret??? No re test

I'd like to consider using estradiol patches to help with hot flashes but am concerned that the small addition of estrogen in the patch will make my slowly growing man boobs larger. I've been on adt (Lupron, Abiraterone, prednisone), for 10 months and plan to continue for a total of 2 years. My boobs

Hello everyone, My first endo appointment is finally coming up to investigate possible adrenal issues. I was referred in April after a 'grey' area morning cortisol result and very low blood pressure overnight on a 24hr ambulatory test. I am required to book a blood test before the appointment (tests

just switched from estradiol patch to generic estratest (EEMT) . Also on Synthroid. Does anyone know how soon I should recheck thyroid levels after making the change. I know that oral EEMT can affect thyroid levels. I am feeling so much more fatigued .

Hi You have probably seen older posts in regards to estradiol patches that my husbands Urologist started him on for bones and hot flushes . He claimed that this will help his hot flushes and is good for his bones but he never ever calls and will not respond to emails we send ( or phone calls ). We do

My husband is on week 2 of the Estradiol 0.39 mg patch for hot flushes. I'm wondering how long it takes for them to work ( if they do ) . He had terrible hot flushes last night and we are curious how long it can take to notice if these are doing anything ? Thanks for any info on this , it is hard to

Unless I missed it, I haven't seen a post about the anticipated-this-fall results of the PATCH Study. I just noticed that it was reported out at the ESMO meeting a couple of weeks ago. They noted "key takeaways" to include: **Transdermal estradiol is as effective as LHRH agonist and there is no detriment

I was meant to start progesterone tonight in preparation for a FET Tuesday but I’ve just started bleeding and passed a few large clots.
