grateful for advice on HRT
I hope it's ok to ask this question here, although it's not strictly thyroid-related. My question is about HRT and peri-menopause. When I went to see my first Hertoghe doctor in Belgium, in late 2011, I was 42 years old and was put on both progesterone (Utrogestan) and Estrogel; the former to be taken

instead of or in addition to estrogen and progesterone?
I have been reading a lot about alternative treatment for menopause problems lately. My problems are not that bad actually; at least not yet (I'll turn 47 later this month, but I read somewhere that hypothyroid women tend to go through menopause a few years earlier than euthyroid women where the average

has anyone here used estrogen?
I hope it's ok to ask this question here, but there is so much knowledge and expertise here that I really hope that someone has come across the same problem: I was put on Estrogel in January 2012, along with Utrogestan (natural progesterone). Estrogel was to be taken day 5-25 of cycle, and progesterone

have seen four so called top doctors, so really in need of advice
OK, so I am feeling pretty confused right now, and would really appreciate some advice on how to move further: I went to see my first Hertoghe doctor in 2004, in H's practice. I had been on thyroxine for three years, after being diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease in late 2000, but it never did much

periods just stopped
I had my last normal period in April of this year, after being regular for over 25 years (I am 46). I went to see an OB-Gyn who examined me, sent labs for testing, and prescribed the drug Primolut Nor which I was supposed to take for ten days. A week after taking it, I did have my period. That was in

can periods just stop...?
I was hoping to know if anyone else has experienced this? I have not had my period in nine weeks, and my periods have always been like clockwork since my early 20s. I am now 46. My OB-gyn put me on a drug called Primolut Nor 10 mg and told me to take it for 20 days, and then I would have my period.

male hormones?
I am curious to find out if anyone here has been prescribed testosterone? I am not sure what to think about T supplementation in women, and it seems to be a highly controversial subject. My doctor (a Hertoghe doctor) said my T levels were lowish, and prescribed Testim. In the package leaflet, it says

menopause?!
I am not sure this is the right place to ask this question, but I am hoping someone here has been through the same thing. I turned 46 a month ago. About six months ago, I noticed my periods started coming more and more often; they went from very regular (27-28 days apart for the past 20 or so years

Hi everyone I have prescribed oestrogel just over two months ago, pmdd. I am 33 years old. I am trying to be patient and hope for the gel to make a difference. I suffer with severe mood swings. previously had severe post natal, took literally every med that was available to recover through that. hardest

Best time to take T4/T3 and HRT
Just wondering if I am doing the right thing. As I have posted on here recently, have been suffering with tingling sensations in legs, feet, arms, hands and sometimes even my face. Currently I take my thyroxine and half the dose of liothyronine first thing in the morning. Then within about 45 minutes

Endometriosis pain after hysterectomy and oophorectomy - Is there anything that can help or am I stuck with the pain forever?
I have had a radical hysterectomy and oophorectomy last September. I was initially put on HRT patches when I came out of surgery - I noticed that I felt better as the patch was wearing off. After a couple of weeks I ditched them altogether. At that point I was coping with the menopausal symptoms. By

confused about thyroid and adrenal treatment
OK, I feel totally confused now: I was diagnosed, in January 2012, with adrenal fatigue, hypothyroidism (after being on thyroxine for 10 years), low estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, pregnenolone, and growth hormone levels. My new doctor switched me from thyroxine (200 mcg daily)

Thyroid tests 'in normal range' what next?
I have been feeling ill for as long as I can remember. My symptoms: dizziness, vertigo, tired all the time, gained weight, feel cold all the time (drives hubby mad because the gas bill is huge!) severe PMT, aching bones, dry straw like hair, flaky skin, sore throat with swollen glands, hoarse voice.
