How do you regulate dosage of the Estradiol patch?
After 4 weeks with the Estradiol Vivelle-Dot (delivers 0.05 mg/day), my E2 reading was 43 - which is a lot higher than I want it. 12-30 is the range. I did not have a baseline E2 test before applying the patch, but assume after 3 years of ADT, it would have been pretty low. Does anyone have some

and today I had to go back for a platelet transfusion...as they had dropped to 18. My Neulasta Onpro went off at 6 pm tonight...and even then...(I'm taking Claritin) I am still feeling great all day. I do have incredible dry mouth and my taste is off. I tried sucking on ice a little. I also put ice

FET timeline question
Hi, I am receiving my FET medication today as we are planning our first FET cycle in September to try for a second child.

High Testosterone Therapy or BAT? Any Experiences??
Has anyone had High Testosterone Therapy? Or BAT? My husband has been through all available therapies available to us in the US and Lutetium177/Actinium225 (4) cycles in Germany. It seems the German therapy is not working any longer- his PSA is climbing (383) and his local oncologist has him now on

Testosterone Recovery During Intermittent ADT
It appears well established now that, in general for APC, intermittent ADT (IADT), or "taking breaks" from ADT drugs is "not inferior" to continuous androgen deprivation (CADT). https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26378418/ And protocols for the timing of starting and stopping such ADT breaks are being

Low T - Good, Bad, or Indifferent?
It has been a year since my last 6 month Eligard shot. PSA is undetectable as of blood test on Friday. My Testosterone is <3 as it has been for the last 6 months. Will my T recover and if it doesn't, is this a bad thing?

Up date on RT
As i posted on prostate UK I had a very positive meeting with the oncologist this morning. 1. He is pleased with PSA at 0.07 and testosterone not being measurable. 2. He recommended RT to further extend the benefits of HT. 3. RT will be on prostate beds and sem. visceral glands that may be affected

Latest PSA
Jim's latest PSA went from 0.1 in July to <0.1 the end of August. Not sure if that means undetectable, but it sounds like very good news to me. Also, Testosterone is still at <10. It took me two days to get the courage to look at results , gotta quit making myself sick every month. Anyway, thank

Any success stories of getting a BFP after testing negative on day 10/11
Hi fellow warriors Hope you’re all okay. Yesterday was our official test day (5dt10dpt) and we received a negative result but the nurses at our clinic have said to keep taking my pessaries for a few days and test again. Any success stories of a negative turning into a positive? I think I’m coming

Private endo for elevated prolactin
Hello I have been referred to an endo by my GP to investigate elevated prolactin levels. I discovered this by chance from a Medichecks result for menopause screening. I had two further tests on the NHS, and all three showed levels of around 700 (the upper level is around 500). There are obviously big

LOTS of interesting labs!
Hi guys, I’m attaching here a lot of hormone lab work I’ve gotten done. Do you know what’s going on with my high RT3? Additionally, if my Testosterone is so high, then why is my DHEA so low? I am a 21yo male and I started taking Armour Thyroid in February 2020. Dates are on all the labs so you’ll be

Blood test results
Hello, I am quite unwell at the moment and I find my symptoms are only getting worse. I have had some blood tests come back which in my opinion are quite worrying yet doctors just say 'everything's fine, the results are normal'. I met with a private endocrinologist yesterday who was extremely unhelpful
