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.

Does anyone know why estradiol pills might have been prescribed on a fresh ivf cycle please . There were no issues with my womb lining and it was thick on day of transfer . Been asked to take 2mg 2x daily . Initial scan Empty gestational sac seen at 6 weeks 4 days . No foetal pole : heart beat .

I feel like...we will soon be all moved to estradiol! A phase 2 study from the STAMPEDE trial found that transdermal estradiol (tE2) patches, when combined with androgen receptor pathway inhibitors (ARPIs), reduce PSA levels as effectively as luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone analogues (LHRHa) in

In late 2023 I started HRT because my perimenopause symptoms had become so severe - anxiety, depression and lack of sleep. I checked with my liver specialist at the time as to whether it’s ok with PBC and he said to just keep monitoring liver results. I improved dramatically straight away. But after

ctDNA test revealed a BRCA 1 mutation in 11/23. Estradiol gel stop working in July of 2024. T level around 10. Onc started me on Lynparza / Orogvyx combination. PSA values ranged from 9 - 12 for six months. December 2024 psa droped from 11.4 - 10.1. January of 2025, psa went to 27. Onc thinks Lynparza

Used Estradiol gel for last 5 years but suddenly introduced estradiol patch a few weeks ago as symptoms got a lot worse only once and had a bad allergic reaction within 12 hours. The sweats are not too much of an issue but my circulation is very poor. I am very cold to the bone most of the time, night

Hi, I've recently had a review blood test to check my TSH levels and it has raised significantly since my last test. I've started taking HRT and thought I'd read somewhere that this can change how much levothyroxine you will need. I'm currently taking 75mcg Levothyroxine (teva) I was also baffled that

Hi, I'm new to the group, and I am so grateful I have found you. I have had restless legs since being a child and it's only in the past few years it's been diagnosed. I have it in my legs /feet and arms. They put me on pramipexole 88mg one at night. At first I thought it worked but for considerable months

For those of you who have been following the excellent results supporting estradiol patch ADT from the PATCH phase-III trial, I recently ran across this early 2008 PATCH paper by R. Langley et al. https://bjui-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1464-410X.2008.07583.x While the numbers

Trying to figure out what to ask the MO or PCP about lack of bone density, degeneration in spine and feet. Nuclear bone scan also shows bone density in top edge of hip bones. I am currently using alendronate and .025 Estradiol patch twice weekly with 1200mg calcium/D3 daily, and weekly Vit K, w/ a

YES, this time I am in need of your research! 😜 I will have a PET scan in January, and that will be followed by a nice talk with my MO. I want to show him data from trials to convince him that in my condition some metformin would do me good (for metabolic syndrome and also because there seems to

I had a very spirited meeting with my MO in Thursday and as usual he was resistant to everything, but especially defensive when it came to estrogen. We discussed about five topics coming out of the large clinical trials of the last decade or more. I'll limit this post to low dose estrogen use. I bought

Well i jumped off BAT on Oct 2nd as my PSA skyrocketed along uric acid. It appears one can cause the other to rise and vice versa. So from Sep 30 to Oct 30 my psa spiked from 1.4 to 6.36 at which time i visited ER for kidney stone. It’s all in the graph along with a text explanation. Needless to my
