t4

I have searched for the answer endlessly and only got conflicting reports . Does Thyroid hormone ( T4,t3) reduce Estrogen or raise it ? What is their effects on the aromatase enzyme ? Thank you . All seems very confusing and I think the TRT/testosterone community could benefit from the correct...

Please help me understand my blood work and symptoms I’ve been struggling for the longest time with fatigue, stubborn weight, and feeling extremely cold + sluggish, constipated and having ED. I’ve been taking my oral temperature on waking and throughout the day. Waking temp ranges from 92-96...

If t3 is the active thyroid hormone, then what would be the point of even taking t4? I ask because I have been on t3 only treatment since beginning HRT due to high RT3. Wondering if I could benefit from adding in a little t4 to my protocol. T4 is usually at the bottom end of normal or just...

I have been inejecting 0.06 ml's daily of nandrolone for 9 months. My doctor gave me the ok to begin injecting 0.08 ml's daily. I have been on the current nandro protocol for 3 weeks going on 4 weeks next Tuesday. At the same time, that the nandrolone dose was increased he also added an...

I’m wondering if anyone has felt better without thyroid meds? I started t3 prior to trt due to elevated rt3. I’ve been on trt just shy of 2 years and still can’t find a balance. I generally test high on t3 and mid to low on t4. Been feeling really fatigued and lethargic lately. I trust Dr...

And what made you take the leap? Classic low TSH/T4 or T3? I see some of you are having reverse T3 measured which I believe isn't standard practice.

This happened years ago and again in the last couple of weeks, so may be helpful for some. Various times in my life I have had depression and even after getting hormones tuned up there has been some nagging mild depression that creeps up. My T4 and T3 levels look good, but my TSH has sometimes...

it seems like after a dose increase i get my levels balanced (t4,t3) but then slowly my levels fall again. I am guessing that it is because endogenous production reduces due to a negative feedback loop similar to that of testosterone? Does my endogenous production have to be completely shutdown...

Hey Guys. My T4 is always low, for years. And I am always tired. But MY TSH has always been normal. My prolactin is also also slightly elevated by about 6 points, for the past 10 years. I went to a new doc and she decided to try me on 50 mcg of daily levothyroxine. I just tested 8 weeks in, and...

Hey Guys, First time poster on the forums, glad to be apart of the crew! So here's the dilemma. I've had a past history of steroid use and had my last cycle wrapped up since the beginning of 2016; I haven't been right since. I started seeking help in 2017 and in 2018 i've seen dozens of...

Hi all, I am 9 weeks in. Any ideas as to why my cortisol crashed 50% and T4 dove as well? I must say that I have pretty lazy with the pregnolone... could that be it? thanks, Mike 1. Testosterone cypionate 200mg/mL, 0.3mL twice weekly, 2. Anastrozole 0.5mg/mL mixed in with the testosterone...

I recently had to take a break in treatment for 5 maybe 6 weeks due to my Endo switching clinics. Before she would prescribe my meds she wanted to run more blood work. These results showed my total and free levels normal but my FSH and TSH w/reflex to t4 was high. So she wants me to stop...

I read that thyroid meds can increase SHBG. Questions: 1. I have not found definitive info if it is the T4 in the meds or the T3 or both that cause this effect? 2. Is there any info on dose-response of Thryoid on SHBG? I'm being treated for hypogonadism (Cypionate 200mg/weekly +...

Hi all, my simple question is: does adding T4 medications stop natural production just like in trt? Is this a concern? Does it cause atrophy?Is ok to stop it? Is any kind of pct like process for it? Thanks
