How many estrogen patches should I use?
I had a nice breakthrough today. 😀 I collected all of the available data on the number of estrogen patches that the studies have used, and plotted the measured serum estradiol level versus total milligrams of estrogen used every week. I was pleasantly surprised when all five of the data points

Selenium Supplementation in Patients with Hashimoto Thyroiditis
I found this paper and thought I'll share. This is for patients with hashis, who are not yet on thyroid hormone replacement. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38243784/

HRT FET - Day of transfer?
Hi everyone and thanks for the lovely support in this group - it’s been a comfort reading all the previous posts. I’m doing my first HRT FET, and just wondering around what day of the cycle people’s transfers were? My plan says to take oestrogen from day 1, then have a scan on day 8, and that’s it

PSA vs Testosterone plot has large scatter, but still confirms Morgentaler's Saturation Model.
Here are two plots comparing PSA values to Testosterone levels taken from a pair of large data sets. What is striking is the large amount of scatter in the individual data from both datasets, with factors of 2-6 X deviations from the average (or median) values. The upper plot has N = 255 data points

Medicare Part D decision
So, I'm going on Medicare in April. I've enrolled in the Blue Cross Plan G Supplement plan and am now trying to decide which Part D plan to get for meds. At the moment my main concern is what it's going to cost for my new Abiraterone prescription. It looks like BCBS is going to be too expensive. Their

Relugolix/Orgovyx or Enzalutamide/Xtandi?
Good morning, all. I have updated my profile with my husband's history. But, long story short, he has been on ADT vacation for 13 months following succesful treatment of metastatic disease with Triplet Therapy (six rounds of Docetaxel, Lupron, and first Abieraterone plus Prednisone and then he switched

Magnesium, zinc and calcium
Nearly a year after ADT and all clear with testosterone recovering well. Been advised by a fellow runner to try a supplement of magnesium, zinc and calcium. The Onco has no objections. Are there reasons no too? Thank you.

Testosterone volatility
My testosterone was measured @ 490 in 2014 when I was DX with PCa Gleason 6, it was measured again in 2016 at 463. It was not measured again until after I started on ADT and it has been >7 ever since. Is there a way for me to extrapolate what it would have been in 2021 when I was DX with Gleason

Unsure about increasing T3
Hi Everyone, I’ve had my appointment with my thyroid specialist today and she wants me to increase my T3 from 15mcg a day to 25mcg a day and keep levo at 100mcg. However I’m really hesitant to do this as last time I increased my T3 (see my original post below) I got my T4 to 6 and felt awful. Plus I
