Ech, what can i say... Basically she told me that she cant do anything else with my thyroid medicines as my number seems to be ok. Told her that i am feeling still terrible, treatment isnt working at all but she cared only about number on the paper, not how i was feeling and prescribed for me...
Thanks for reply. Unfortunetly, my labs dont offer rT3 and i cant check it. Tomorrow i am meeting my doctor. Should i try convince her to get me on t4+t3 treatment?
Thanks for answer Blackhawk. Exactly how my treatment with thyroid began:
Doctor sad 1/2 a tablet for first two weeks, then 1 tablet for 6 weeks and then go back to him so he can check how i am feeling, tomorrow i am visiting her.
My experience with treatment:
1/2 a tablet - first 5-6 days...
Hello again, got fast question for You guys, its very important for me. Can hyperinsulinemia affect somehow trt treatment and make it not working as it suposed to be?
I will update something with my thyroid. Its not hashi, my antibodies are showing something but its totaly in range and nothing to be worry about. Maybe in Europe we got different ranges with antibodies or something, not sure but doctor sad its 100% not hashi. My antibodies should be way higher...
Hello, this is my last lab result:
TSH 4.68 * [0.27 - 4.20]
FT3 3.52 pg/ml [2.00 - 4.40]
FT4 1.04 ng/dl [0.90 - 1.70]
anty-TG 10.00 [4.50 - 115.00]
anty-TPO 13.77 [0.00 - 35.00]
I am going soon to a new doctor and would like to know for what should i aim for in my treatment as my thyroid is...
Thanks a lot Vince for answer. Sad that i couldnt test rT3 as in my labs they dont provide this. Was wondering if i should check something more in my blood to help doctor better treat my case when i go to him.
In the next week i am going to a new doctor in case of my thyroid. Its something new for me as in the past my thyroid results were always ok. Should i do blood work for something more before i will meet with him?
Also, can thyroid block my trt and this is maybe why i couldnt get anything good...
Well, i found something new which i didnt suspect, checked again my thyroid and results are bad. Its something new because i checked my thyroid year ago, then few months ago when was in hospital and it was always ok. Could it be that trt is affecting my thyroid or i should look somewhere else...
I dont understand this.
Started 100mg/week procotol - first 1-4 days starting to feel a little bit better and then all went down and felt nothing
Started 2x70mg e3.5d - first 1-4 days starting to feel a little bit better and then all went down and felt nothing
Now starting 20 mg eod - first 1-4...
To be honest i didnt see your reply and 2 days ago did 30 mg injection thinking thats not a big deal but if You are telling me its better to start with 20 mg EOD, i will trust someone who knows much more about it. :) Lets see how this will go for me.
Thank You once again for helping me in my...
Thanks for replies and help.
Well, i guess i will stick to what got now, 23g (0,6 mm x 30 mm). Maybe it wont be that painful for EOD injections... Will see.
I got results from my blood work which i did today. List is not full, for the rest i will have to wait for about 1-2 weeks.
Total T...
Thank You very much for help Systemlord. This is what i checked today after my 6 week trt journey:
Total Test
Free Test
Estradiol
Prolactin
SHBG
DHEA
Wanted to check DHT also because i never did it in my life but it was too much for me. (270$ for DHT only)
So starting today i will go on 20 mg...
I am currently ending my 6th week on trt protocol 2x70mg every 3.5 day. Feel no improvements at all. Tomorrow i am doing blood work and was wondering what i should check?
This is my list:
Test
Free Test
Estradiol
Prolactin
DHT
DHEA
Anything else i should add?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks for advices. I am a beginner and dont know a good doctor even though i was looking for a looong time so i am trying by my self and its normal that i am failing, its a new world for me, its not that easy on your own, without anyone who know about it much more than me.
Well, i am keeping...
My aromatase is insane... Still on 2x70 mg protocol. Slowly ending my 4th week. Maybe at week nr 5 i am gonna do blood work for total and free testosterone? Maybe wait a little bit longer?
This is my blood work and look how much i am aromatasing, it was about 4 days between both results...
In my case i would probably keep my e2 levels as high as possible, even out of range untill i got symptoms of high e2. High e2 (without bad symptoms) is beneficial for a men and can make him stronger, its some kind of positive anabolic effect which high e2 level can give you. Its only my point...
I wonder if i should check mine and test androgen sensitivity. Its this AR gene test, am i right? Its very expensive test here, in Poland. Its like 1400$.
Although i didnt check all possible protocols for me (curently on 70 mg e3.5d) but got very low SHGB, 26 years old (9 nmol/l, range is...
Thats why i took only 1/4 tablets and it dropped my prolactin from 26 to 8, very strong stuff. When took 1/2 before it dropped from 25 to 4 and i never felt that bad my entire life. I just couldnt move. Sitting on chair was too tiring, my eyes were closing and have to sleep for 1-2 hours to get...
Do you believe that i could felt better because of such high estradiol levels? Just look:
Estradiol - 70.74 pg/ml [7.62 - 42.60]
Prolactin - 25.49 ng/ml [4.04 - 15.20]
Numbers are sick and to be honest, before i got my blood results i didnt expect that i will have so high e2, was expecting...
The reason why i messed up with e2 and arimidex is simple. My aromatase was so much different when on clomid therapy and totally different now on trt. On clomid if i would take 0.75 mg of arimidex with e2 levels of 70 i would probably hit something between 20-30. On trt this dose is making my e2...
Well, my guess was good about prolactin but bad in taking care of too high e2.
Blood work done today:
Estradiol - 6.42 pg/ml [7.62 - 42.60]
Prolactin - 8.65 ng/ml [4.04 - 15.20]
I am confused, dont know why i am feeling so bad last few days since i took arimidex and dostinex. Why i was...
I am still "guessing". When was on clomid it was about 1/2 a tablet e5d. With testosterone is another game and its aromatasing different so i have to make blood work once per week to see where my levels are with this protocol.
Testosterone levels i will check after 4 weeks of this protocol...
1 tablet = 1 mg. 1/2 a tablet is always making my estradiol going down for about a half so i think it will be ok.
Dostinex, 1 tablet = 0,5 mg. 1/4 a tablet should be ok but i am still "playing" with it. When last time i took 1/2 my prolactin droped from 23 to 5 and i was feeling like complete...
My t-shirt was hurting my nipples too but in my younger years way before any treatment, i dont have gyno though. I got but very, very small, was doing ultrasound of my chest to check it.
The problem with my prolactin is that it's supposed to be in normal range whole my life probably but when i...
I know, i just took 1/2 tablet arimidex and 1/4 Dostinex.
You know what is more interesting? That i didnt "felt" in my body that something is wrong with prolactin and estradiol. No itchy nipples, no gyno symptoms (was checking it everyday very carefuly). I was feeling even BETTER (erectile was...
Got my new blood work. I am pretty shocked how my body is aromatising. Just see this:
Week before:
Estradiol - 32.98 pg/ml [7.62 - 42.60]
Prolactin - 12.19 ng/ml [4.04 - 15.20]
Week after (today):
Estradiol - 70.74 pg/ml [7.62 - 42.60]
Prolactin - 25.49 ng/ml [4.04 - 15.20]
PSA - 2.260 ng/ml...
Ok, so this is what i found out. Today i made standard blood work for me (estradiol, prolactin) + added 2 more. Progesterone and lipids. This is how it looks like:
Progesterone 0.09 ng/ml * [0.20 - 1.40]
Lipids:
Cholesterol 151 mg/dl [140 - 200]
HDL 51.5 mg/dl [35.0 - 80.0]
Triglycerides 60.0...
