Just to update - feeling like shit. Brain fog is terrible, sore joints, no energy, lightheaded and can’t think straight. I’ve been taking boron, Vit D, multivitamin, basic stuff and not sure if it’s helping with anything. Any suggestions? Considering DHEA to maybe increase e2 because this is...

Hopefully take insurance, looking to optimize my thyroid levels. No longer on TRT so it doesn’t have to be a doc that prescribes the typical test/hcg/ai protocol.

Been taking 3mg boron and I have had a return of morning wood on 2 out of the last 3 nights. Still haven’t committed to taking dhea as I’m hoping my e2 level will return as my SHBG goes down

DHEA sulfate: 350 (138.5-475.2) Do you think I could supplement ~ 10 mg dhea with that level or would I drive myself too high? I know it’s hard to say, everyone’s body is diff. My doc just doesn’t offer any suggestions so I’m sorta on my own

Any recommendations on how to increase estrogen? I can’t seem to get over 20 and my wrist/elbow/shoulder all began to hurt at the same time when I went off trt and onto Clomid. I think my e2 is causing it. Everyone talks about how Clomid raises e2 but mine stayed around 14-17 even when I didn’t...

I quit arimidex about 1.5 months ago but my e2 still hasn’t recovered. I really hope it does soon because my joint pain is killing me. I started on 3 mg boron gonna see how it goes

My hesitation with boron is that it can decrease e2. I already have low e2 and the symptoms that come with that

Ok I may give it a try at a low dose. Hopefully it doesn’t interact with thyroid at all

What are your thoughts on boron? Maybe to lower my SHBG and raise my e2?

How long are you going to take the boron for?

Gotcha. Yeah I’ll prob go ahead and get it done then. I haven’t seen anything about Clomid causing hypothyroidism

I will get them done. Does Clomid have any impact on these levels since I just came off of it? Just trying to determine whether or not I should wait before having the blood test or if I should just go ahead and get it done now

Any recommendations? My TSH is a little high at 2.9 (.4-4.5) so I’m going to have more labs drawn and possibly seek out an endo in Atlanta. My urologist doesn’t seem to be worried about anything other than fertility...

I quit 12.5 eod Clomid one week ago. Was on injections for 2 years, Clomid for 5 months or so. My SHBG is way high (labs below on my last few days on Clomid) and my tsh is high, e2 low.. I’m thinking about supplementing with some boron but others have told me to just let my body re adjust. I...

Ok.. I wish it was that easy. I’m not very knowledgeable about the thyroid issues. I have been feeling colder than normal. Can Clomid exacerbate hypothyroidism? My temperatures are consistently below 98 degrees. I think I’m going to go ahead and get my thyroid checked now, unless you think I...

Ok, interesting. One thing to note is that my iodine supplementation was very low prior to getting these labs so I have just recently upped it to 100% RDA I’m hoping that helps too. Thanks for the response! I never had any thyroid problems on injections, just on Clomid.

Do you think I should get the thyroid panel ASAP or wait a few weeks since I have just discontinued the Clomid? Maybe things will level off and I’ll have a better idea if I wait?

I’m thinking about taking DHEA at 10 mg to raise my e2. I’m afraid it will drop even lower now that I have quit Clomid.. any thoughts? And should I be supplementing more iodine/selenium for my TSH?

My multivitamin doesn’t have any iodine so I am supplementing 150-220 mcg (100-150% RDA) per day with potassium iodide. Is this problematic for my TSH levels?

Ok, I will plan on doing this. My urologist said my TSH “wasn’t concerning” which kind of annoyed me.

I was one 25 mg eod for 3 months and 12.5 mg eod for 1.5 months.

Total T: 726 (264-916) Free T: 11 (9.3-26.5) - **low** E2 sensitive: 14.7 (8-35) - **low** SHGB: 89.3 (16.5-55.9) - **high** DHEA sulfate: 350 (138.5-475.2) TSH: 2.86 (0.45-4.5) - **high** T3: 2.6 (2-4.4) Any tips on how to bring down TSH and maybe increase e2? Should I look into taking DHEA...

Doc is taking me off Clomid to see how well I do without any hrt. Here are my lab results on 12.5 mg clomid EOD for 2 months and nothing else except a multivitamin, vit D, etc. Total T: 726 (264-916) Free T: 11 (9.3-26.5) - **low** E2 sensitive: 14.7 (8-35) - **low** SHGB: 89.3 (16.5-55.9) -...
