Update on (attempted) ADT via Estrogen Patch
Got my onc to go along with the PATCH protocol (of 4 x 0.1 estradiol patches, changed 2x weekly), and as it turns out things are not so simple. Yes, T dropped, but not yet to castrate levels. PSA did drop from 160 to 75 (while ALP doubled), but after a month T has gone from 500 down to only 187. Why?

overmedicated Thyroid & FET
I am currently downregulating for an FET (I have been on synarel for 6 weeks and I am due to start estrogen on Friday) but today I found out that my thyroid is overmedicated. My T4 is above the range at 31 (range 10-23), my T3 is in range and my TSH is slightly under at 0.07. My GP (not my ivf dr) said

New and Confused
Hello. I’m 49 years old and began to receive testosterone about a year ago, as my female testosterone was low. Approximately 2 months ago, I began having hot flashes and night sweats, so began a estrogen patch at 0.05 mg and Progesterone orally for 12 days out of the month. My concern is that I also

Estrogen patches mess up
Air head moment for me - I’m 3dp transfer. So I just realized that my patches changed to 2 days in between but I was still doing every other day. Do you think I messed up my FET or should it be okay.

Menopause & cholesterol
Hello I am new here but would like to know if any of you ladies had elevated cholesterol levels going through the menopause, and if taking oestrogen helped lower your cholesterol? My levels have gone up to 8.3 I’m reluctant to take statins and am considering the new transdermal HRT. Just wondered if

Slow growing or doomed?
Hi everyone, new to this forum. I am 32, have had three miscarriages in the past year and a half and the last one was a complete molar pregnancy. We have started IVF in hopes of collecting and freezing embryos as I have very low AMH (0.44), FSH was normal. I started last week, we are at max dose 450

ADHD & ESTROGEN???
ADHD medication seem to be making my son very feminine. Has anyone else experienced this, or is it just my child. I didn't notice it before. Need some medical background on this medication.

My doctor isnt onboard with using tamoxifen to lower E2
I just asked my Doc yesterday for low dose tamoxifen to counter the high estrogen levels that are creating man boobs. This is happening because I am taking Nubeqa as a monotherapy, and even though my testosterone is only in the 450 range, a lot of it must be converting to E2 and making my boobies grow

ERA- transfer following month
My transfer this month has been cancelled and my estrogen was really high but not reflective in lining. Doctors have decided to go for the ERA and Hysteroscopy due to my precious medical history. I have had bowel cancer so there worried there could be scar tissue left over. Does anyone know if it's

5 days post transfer
Hi so I’m 5 days post transfer now. Had cramping for first two days which is gone now. My boobs feel heavy and achy. Also quite often throughout the day I have a very strange CM, it’s not much thicker than urine but it’s kinda white in colour (apologies for the info) I remember this happening to me before

Changing estrogen levels and bad hypothyroid symptoms?
Hi everyone, I wanted to ask if anyone has knowledge of changing estrogen/progesterone levels and hypothyroidism? I am currently undermedicated and raising but since my periods returned last October I have had trouble with very bad days (which I previously though was caused by raising attempts) and

Short cycle question!
Hi so I’m 2dpd5t and I’m so happy to be at this stage. Ever so slightly cramping but other than that all good. My question is that my last few cycles were only 24/25 days. I’m on day 22 today. Does that mean I might know b4 beta day if I’m pregnant if my period doesn’t come in the next few days or will

How much to tell gp!
I had an x ray today, the result of which is that it’s more than likely (I think, due to the state of it!) that I’ll need a hip replacement. This now makes sorting out my hormone issues and remaining muscle weakness etc rather more pressing than it might have been. My muscle tone is non existent following

HRT that doesn't cause gallstones?
Hello, I am nearly 51 & appear to be 'post menopause'. I have just had my gallbladder removed & strongly feel that my HRT may have caused the stones. I had a scan in 2017 - no stones. Then I was prescribed 3 pumps of Estrogel + 100mg Ultrogestan +pea sized amount of Testosterone. I felt better, but then

Thromboxane A2 [TxA2]
New study from Spain below [1]. PCa cells tend to have elevated levels of the omega-6 fatty acid: Arachidonic Acid [AA]. NF-kB, which is chronically activated in PCa creates numerous cell-survival proteins, includin the COX enzymes. Acting on AA, COX-2 creates prostaglandins and thromboxane [Tx] (
