Under Active Thyroid since 2006
Hi All I was diagnosed back in 2006 with Underactive thyroid. I was put on Thyroxine but it never really agreed with me so weaned myself off of it in 2013 after a complete diet and lifestyle overhaul. I pretty much felt ok until September 2020 when I was completely exhausted and blood results showed

Effect of low endogenous testosterone
PSA now at 7.9. Biopsy showed 1 sample was Gleason 8. Starting ADT and radiation soon. Have had low testosterone (<150 ng/ml) most of my life. Non-existent libido, depression and tired most of the time. Recent studies have shown that aggressive prostate cancer more common in people with low testosterone

Treatment break?
I was diagnosed 30 months ago with de novo oligometastic pc. (bone and lymph node). Gleason 9. ATM mutation of unknown significance. Underwent RP and then SBRT to metastatic sites. Been on Lupron and Zytiga for past 24 months with an undetectable psa and clean scans. Most recent was pylarify PET scan

ART ASCO GU 2023: Testosterone Recovery Following Androgen Suppression and Prostate Radiotherapy (TRANSPORT)
There are many studies that show TET recovery for men treated with RT and ADT. Most show delay is correlated to the time spent under ADT treatment. I have seen some posts that purport 5 year [u]average timeframes[/u]; this appeared excessive. This study provides better data and timeframes that are

Treatment Update
Since July 2022 I have been on Lupron after a 9 month break. During the entire time my testosterone remained < 20. My PSA remained nearly constant at 0.30. 10/17/22 0.286 1/20/23 0.321 4/24/23 0.294 If PSA has gone even by small amount, my MO would have ordered PSMA CT

Should I treat subclinical hypothyroidism
Hi all, I would be very grateful for your thoughts in my situation. As you can see below, I really thought this through and attended a few private endocrinologists (all there being top professionals on this) but still unclear of the strategy and wanted to stress test my concussions with the community

What if I got my day 1 period date wrong?
I'm scheduled to transfer my only frozen embryo I got from a previous round. This will be my final try after several years of unsuccessful ivf so I am quite anxious about it. I had a endometrial scratch which had some spotting afterwards but it seemed to stop. My period is irregular anywhere from 20

Gleason 4 +3 , IMRT 20 tx , 68 , psma -no mets. I am on orgovyx for 4 months . At the end of 4months treatment what is the time frame for return of testosterone? I have heard that the pill form of orgovyx has a quicker return of testosterone than the lupron and other shots? How many months after

Issues with new packaging of Besins Oestrogel?
Besins Oestrogel has a new bottle. Might be a coincidence but since using it my sleep has gotten worse. I’m getting more tingling and numbness in my fingers and toes. Concentration is worse. Also increased issues down below. I don’t know if it’s the concentration of oestradiol being dispensed or maybe

Input please
Hi! I have been hypothyroid for many years, and until recently I never had problems with my thyroid numbers, or with how I felt on the medication. I was taking a compounded T3/T4 for years, but then moved locations, and accessibility plus costs led me to change to NP Thyroid, which also seemed fine.

ca125 up from last reading
I’m 49 and in 2019 was diagnosed with stage 1c2. It was found in pathology after having ovaries removed prophylactically due to finding out I was BRCA1 positive. I had 3 rounds of taxol and carboplatin. I might mention that my ca125 was 8 so never indicated cancer. During chemo my number rose to 9.

Semaglutide et al
I have never been obese (BMI >=30) but I have certainly been overweight (BMI>=25). There are many PCa papers associating "obesity" with poor survival. BMI is a surrogate for visceral adiposity (not always very accurate). Mortality risk with a BMI of 29 is presumably not much different than for a BMI

Consulting on next steps
As I am 10 months PSA undetectable and clear on basic bone scans I have started the process of consultation re staying on ADT (zoladex) and Apalutamide continuously or moving to intermittent (and what would that involve) or getting more treatment (J591 for example aimed at micromets). Following consult

Hi All, At my 4th egg collection 0 eggs were collected :( Previous 3 rounds I was on 450 Meriofert short protocols and had 7, 7, 4 eggs with 3, 2, 1 blasts. At 3rd collection had 12 follicles over 17mm but only 4 eggs as most follicles were empty. I have changed clinic for 4th cycle and was on 375

Progynova blues
I'm on day 8 of progynova estradiol tablets (3 x 2mg daily) for a modified frozen cycle and feeling..... meh. I've been feeling ok apart from a few headaches but yesterday the blues hit hard and I just feel so disconnected and like I don't care about anything. I have been feeling so bored and unmotivated
