She applies it in her hip. Test was done 3 hours after application. Her doctor was new to her as her regular one retired. New doctor told her he’s never seen a woman take that amount. Then he did the blood test. Only Free T. Level is very low, but he just told her she was ok. We went online...

10mg per day. IF 10% is absorbed that’s 7mg per week. Seems like that would give her a higher Free T.

Direct. 0.6 pg/ml. Reference range- 0.0-4.6

The doctor only tested Free Testosterone— Her level was 0.6 pg/ml. I was trying to figure out how it could be so low with an estimated 7mg per week.

Wife is using 10mg testosterone in cream per day. Her doctor tested her and told her she was fine. Her Free T levels were .06 pg/ml. How is this happening? Could her SHBG be that high?

Thank you. I tried the small doses because the 1mg dose was so incredible, maybe a smaller dose would suffice.

Is is correct that doses must be days apart? I tried 1mg and it did great. Next two nights I thought I’d try 0.5mg. Nothing. Next night, 1mg....nothing. How many days should be between doses?

What dose for your wife?

gman, what did you end up doing? I started on 1/4 grain last week. I wanted to see if I could tell a difference. It does make me feel something funny in my head, but not much else. I am like you in that it is the same kind of experiment. I don’t want to completely suppress my natural if there is...

Defy can treat you in New York. Give them a call.

My My wife had the genetic testing for the Brachy (sp) gene that predisposed a woman for that type of breast cancer before starting T.

Thanks, Orrin. This is the kind of stuff I was reading, leading me to be cautious. I wonder if men are at such risk as women? Especially those of us on trt, bec we are going to have a healthy estrogen level. Also, we will be getting tested often. Thanks.

Thanks gman. Yep. It seems many people take too much. And as people age, they may need less, so if levels are not checked, they’re taking too much. Thanks for your responses.

Yes, really any amount of thyroid medication. That’s what is in the studies. But I know this group has studied and experienced it personally — so I’m asking if it’s really seen?

One more thing. Does anyone worry about bone loss by supplementing for weak thyroid?
