Just a bit of a rant really as feeling let down by the system. I’ve been back and forth to the GP’s over the years with Raynuards, rosacea, recently a sun spot that turned cancerous, depression, fainting etc and no one up until me doing my research has ever joined the all the constellation of symptoms

Hypo, Hashi's, Menopause & Testosterone
My last sex hormone blood test showed my testosterone at [u]
1.91!
[/u]
(range of 0.10-1.42) This concerns my Endo doc who has been amazing treating my thyroid issues, but has now informed me that AFTER
age 60
you shouldn't BEGIN hrt. 😪 So, that's out of the question for me since

post menopause bleeding
Hi all, I’m a 64 year old woman whose periods stopped when I was 50, I chose HRT after a few years of non stop daytime sweats, zero concentration and bursting into tears at the drop of a hat 🙈 I stopped the HRT back in 2020 but had to start it again last year as the sweats returned with a vengeance

ok so it may be time to accept the fact that it may not be just my thyroid causing my issues.?so I’ve read quite a lot about her and think as I didn’t have a good run with levothyroxine I don’t think combining hrt tables as well is the way to go so after reading lots I’m thinking get with a progesterone

Revised Plot of PSA vs Testosterone: Estrogen vs Lupron ADT
Ugh...I made a BIG mistake on the previous posting! I just realized that Dr. Morgentaler had listed the Testosterone level in unusual units (

), not the usual units of (
ng/dL)
. So, my X-axis was off by a factor of 10. Here is the revised plot. The exciting discovery is that the

male hormones
Hi Ladies and Gents I wanted to ask if anyone knows where I can find a group/expert about male hormones? It’s for my husband, he has no thyroid issues, it’s about other hormones. He did a Randox test and it turns out he has elevated FSH, LH, Prolactin and Oestradiol. His Testosterone is ok, he is

Thyroid medication changes when starting HRT for perimenopause
I have been self medicating with liothyronine and levothyroxine for the past two years or so. Today I started the estrogen patch for perimenopause symptoms, and will also start progesterone in a couple of days. The provider that prescribed these said that some women need to increase their thyroid

Patches (I'm depending on you, son)
Dated pop reference - sorry. While my research has continued, my oncologist has nothing to give me within the SOC to keep the PSA in check. Now I've witnessed another unwelcome visitor: facial hair (it only took me 70 yrs to start shaving....) Joking aside however, that means the T is on the rise.

Help, anyone??
Hi all, I’ve been having a few issues recently ( exhaustion, felling as if I’m trembling inside, fatigue, and just a general feeling of being unwell) I couldn’t get my GP to test my thyroid as I only did it in January and he said it was too soon as it was normal last time. He wouldn’t retest any

nodules on my chest
have been told I have nodules on my chest, found with a CT scan, have had a under active thyroid for the past 70 years could this be thyroid related. Seeing an endocrinologist next week, going private to get it sorted, any helpful advice would be appreciated. This site is so helpful.

Day 7 in HRT protocol = equivalent to what day in Natural cycle?
Hello my dear warriors, My clinic in Spain has recommended to go for a natural cycle rather than a HRT one this time. However my immune medicine is prescribed by the reproductive immunologist and to his protocol he has written : start Clexane and Prednisolone on day 7 of HRT. The nurses in his clinic

Period after pessaries
So I've completely confused myself with dates. My last period was due on 13th Feb but it was delayed due to the progesterone pessaries. My bleed started on 17th Feb - I based my next period date (25 day cycle) on that. Is that correct? So instead of 9th March it'll be due 13th March? I'm only concerned

Any suggestions please.
Hello. I wonder if you would be kind enough to give me your views on my latest results please. I currently take 100mcg thyroxine at bedtime. My GP withdrew my T3 ( 5mcg) around 5 years ago. Apparently it doesn't work and was too expensive. I feel dreadful. I'm underweight with a BMI of 18 and on top
