Experiences with

Testogel

I have been taking testogel 5mg sachets for a year plus along side finasteride (to stop conversion into DHT) and resveratrol (to stop conversion into estrogen.) Okay so everything was fine and got my levels back up to 36.

Hi All, Just had my latest Saliva test results in Estradiol 6.1 pg/ml (Range 0.5-1.7 pg/ml (optimal 1.3-1.7) Progesterone 1133 pg/ml (Range 200-3000 pg/ml Topical ) Testosterone 91 pg/ml (Range 16-55 age dependent) Estriol 841 pg/ml (Range 10-200 pg/ml topical) Progesterone / Estradiol ratio 186 pg

OK, so I would like to ask all of you who have gone through this and experienced the well-known problems...how did it all start for you??? I am asking because, for the past four or so months, I have had the impression a lot of things have changed and I have completely lost control. Since May, I am sweating

Blood results receptionist gave me them slightly wrong on phone so thought better update to see if someone can tell me what's going on with them, I was on 150 mgs levorthyroxine I self upped them to 200 mgs as still felt bad, anyway after results and dr telling me I was being fried he told me to reduce

Hi Just wondered if anyone else has experienced a return of symptoms after a total hysterectomy? I had my hysterectomy in Jan 2015 and recently I have had increasing pelvic pain, bloating, terrible low back ache, general fatigue and lethargy/'heaviness'. Not sure whether I have IBS or the dreaded endo

OK, so this subject is getting more and more interesting to me, especially since I've been on both estrogen and progesterone (both natural) for the past five and a half years, and it's often recommended you don't stay on them for more than five years or the risk of breast cancer among other things increases

HI All, I am currently on Estrogel , i am 12 year post hysterectomy where all was removed... Do i need Progesterone to balance the Estrogel ? Anyone else with no uterus using Estrogel and Progesterone , any side affects or problems ? What dosage are you on? As i cannot seem to get it right with Estrogel

Hi All, Has anyone experienced problems with BV, Thrush or Cystitis after starting Estrogel...i am having problems down there since starting Estrogel , nothing is shifting it at the moment, i am only 3 weeks into the Estrogel regime Thanks Y x

Hi All, My saga continues....but losing the strength to carry on. i am now on Estrogel (2-3 pumps a day) , has anyone experienced depression getting worse whilst they have been on Estrogel

Hi i am suffering terribly from urge and frequency due to liw oestrogen levels. Am taking bitmrga 50mgs and vGifem. Works most of time but very bad sometimes almost unbearable. My gynaecologist has suggested i take hrt. He gave me estrogel which iis fine but i dont want to take synthetic progestens.

I don't know if it' OK to discuss other things than thyroid disease and treatment here but, since all hormone imbalances are related, I hope it's at least all right to ask the question (hoping that, if it's not OK to discuss it here, at least those who have some answers would be willing to PM me): Lately

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.

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

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

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,

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

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?

I'm continuing with bio-identical add-back but wondering if I should stop using Estradiol now & just keep on with my Progesterone Crin one pessaries) & my Testogel? Grateful to hear from anybody with a lengthy experience of Prostap x x
