Blood results. Comments welcome!
Last 12 months problems have got worse, eventually diagnosed with low Testosterone levels, and treated with
Testogel
by an endocrinoligist but with no effect on the symptoms. Started suspecting thyroid issues.

oral vs dermal progesterone?
After receiving my latest lab results, I have a question about the efficacy of oral vs dermal progesterone (all the so called Hertoghe doctors prescribe Estrogel only, as that is said to spare the liver, but some, like my doctor, will put you on progesterone pills Utrogestan). These were my lab results

question to those who have stopped using estrogen
I would really appreciate hearing about other women's experience in this area. I stopped using Estrogel (bioidentical estrogen cream) a month ago, perhaps foolishly, after reading over and over again (not so much here as elsewhere) that no woman should ever use E for more than five years, or there is

how to know if I'm estrogen dominant or deficient...?
This is not directly thyroid-related but I hope it's OK to post this question here anyway, hoping that someone will know more about this: I have been asking myself a lot of questions lately about estrogen deficiency vs dominance. The symptoms seems confusingly similar in many cases....five years ago,

estrogen...good or bad?
This is something I have been meaning to ask here for a while: I read recently that adrenal fatigue is bound to cause estrogen dominance as the body will use progesterone to make cortisol when the adrenal glands begin to struggle, and this in turn will lead to estrogen dominance. All the so called Hertoghe

Prostap stopped after 14 months - offered Esmya until TAH BSO surgery
I've also been using bio-idential add-back hormones whilst having the Prostap injections (Estradiol gel,
Testogel
& Progesterone pessaries) - should I now stop using any or all of these?

natural vs synthetic sex hormones
This is not thyroid-related but at least hormone-related so I hope it's OK. The so called Hertoghe doctors insist you should not use synthetic estrogen, progesterone, or testosterone, but always use natural hormones. They also say you need to take them for life, whereas most mainstream doctors believe

Desperately needing advice on Blood test results
Hello. I really hope someone can help!.. 4 weeks ago I started B12 loading, but today I saw a different GP who told me the first doctor was wrong in diagnosing pernicious anaemia and that my problems were down to my diet!! I was very upset as I know my diet is not at fault. My pituitary and thyroid

HRT post hysterectomy
Hi All, Looking for some advice on HRT. I am now six weeks post op, having had a full hysterectomy and bowel surgery due to endo. My consultant currently has me on patches and a top up of estrogel as I was still getting hot flushes now and again. I know it's early days and I'm completely new to all

estrogen deficiency symptoms?
I hope it's OK to ask a question unrelated to the thyroid here. About four weeks ago, I decided not to use Estrogel, which my hormone doctor put me on five years ago, along with bio-identical progesterone (Utrogestan, 200 mg, at bedtime day 15-25 of cycle; Estrogel is to be applied to thighs, stomach

Advice please
I also have an autoimmune condition Psoriatic Arthritis and low testosterone being treated with
Testogel
hormone replacement therapy. I am aware that Thyroid and b12 def can overlap, Gp has done the basic tsh test, result 1.5.

Estrogen and progesterone - how long can you safely use them?
This is only remotely thyroid-related, but I hope it's ok to ask this question here anyway: Should you never use estrogen (Estrogel) for more than five years? And what about progesterone? I am referring to the bio-identical versions of both hormones. I am asking because I was put on Estrogel (transdermal

Total Hyst, best HRT??
Hi, I had hyst 2 years ago and gynae put me on Estrogel. After a while I found it very messy and was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and thought hormones might be making me worse. GP put me back on Livial. I have horrible side effects so keep stopping and starting it and my general health is far worse.

estrogen and progesterone
I hope it's OK to ask about HRT here: The so called Hormone doctors in Belgium seem to prescribe progesterone and estrogen for all their female patients over 40. I was put on both P and E five years ago, at age 42. At the time, I was not nearly as informed and knowledgeable about hormone replacement
