Seen hormone specialist, more confused than ever...!
So I've been for my long overdue annual visit to my hormone doctor in Belgium and I have to admit I received quite a lot of confusing and even contradictory advice that I would love for members to comment on: First of all, when it comes to my massive weight gain (+25 kg) since being treated with high

Any advice for fertility show.
So I've got to tickets for the fertility show. My friend said she went two years ago and came back feeling awful. She said it just felt like sales reps being insensitive and trying sell he things she doesn't need. She said very few clinics sent their consultants. Is this experience shared by others?

Oestrogen dominance testing
A week or two ago I read an interesting article on oestrogen dominance posted by a member on this forum and recognised a lot of the symptoms, so looked into testing. I was just wondering if anyone has any experience or thoughts as to whether the following saliva test is reliable, or if working out the

Help with stopping T3 and new results
Hi everyone, further to my (rather long-winded!) post yesterday (below), I've just got my latest results, which I've attached. I'm no expert but I'm guessing my FT3 range does suggest I am currently over-medicating? Thanks in advance! Hello lovely people, I went to see an NHS endo yesterday and he's

Should I stop T3?
Hello lovely people, I went to see an NHS endo yesterday and he's just called with the results and echoed what I was told by a gyne a few weeks ago - that I may be overmedicating and he's told me to stop taking T3. I'm currently on 125mg Levothoryxine and 12.5mg of Cytomel. I don't have the readings

Update on starting Estradiol Patches for RT ADT
I started Estradiol Patches (4 X 0.1mg/24hr twice weekly patches; one patch changed out daily) 5 days ago. This is for short-term ADT as adjuvant for IMRT of oligometastatic disease of the left pelvic lymphatics identified on Ga-PSMA scan at UCLA. One week in and 10 days more until the RT (60Gy/30fx)

Thinning hair - supplements??
Good morning all I thought I would ask you lovely people if you can advise on your experience with supplements. I had 8/8 oestrogen positive breast cancer. Currently on zoladex and letrozole for the past 2 years and will continue for a bit. I'm trying to tackle one depressing aspect of my life at a time

ANASTROZOLE 1 MG TABLET
Has anyone tried this as alternative to Letrozole; my joint pain is debilitating at times (typically the week off Ibrance)? My ONC said there is another one to try before opting for the once monthly shots (I forget the name of that)? Also some talk of brain fog due to lack of estrogen I think—does that

Hormone help?
I know a couple of people on here are pretty good with hormones, but I can't remember who. I'm hoping someone could tell me a couple of things. I've had the following results from day 4 of my cycle: FSH: 6.16 (3.5-12.5) Oestradiol 177 (45.4-854) Testosterone 1.46 (0.29-1.67) And progesterone taken on

Have I developed "doctor phobia" or what...?!
Today I saw my new GP for a follow-up visit. My old one moved away and I stopped going to the practice for no particular reason. On Sept 6, during my first visit since July '17, my BP was slightly raised (170/92, heart rate 90). I was put on perindopril 5 mg daily and told to come back today. Interestingly

Does anyone have any info on endometriosis and peri menopause/menopause?
I am currently peri menopausal and I’m experiencing symptoms in relation to the lowering of oestrogen. I have not had a period for a year, I’ve had dry eyes, hair loss, forgetfulness, mind fog, emotional and low mood. My GP recommend St Johns Wort and isoflavon herbal supplements, which I’ve been on

Have I gone overactive?!
Can anyone please help with my latest results? I'm confused! I saw a gyne doctor the other day regarding pelvic pain and she said that it could be down to my thyroid being overactive. I was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid in my early 20s, and Hashimoto's six years ago, but she thinks I've tipped

Hot Flushes
Hi, it's been a while since I posted, I have been following the advice given and support from members. I am still in what Drs call sub clinical Hashimotos Thyroiditis, still not being treated for it as my labs are all in range. My TSH goes between 3.39 to 6.03 currently it is 4.39. Same labs and ranges

Dutasteride and Tamoxifen (T->DHT blocker and SERM)
Are these contraindicated? I have prostate cancer and am doing cycles of casodex/dutasteride/zytiga, then estrogen patches/zytiga, then testosterone injections/dutasteride. Should Tamoxifen only be used during the estrogen patch/zytiga portion of the cycle? Thanks
