Guest guest Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 Haven't posted in a while but thought I would post on my last visit to my Vit D Dr on the 28th. I have seen her between 5-6mos and I am taking about 4000 IU Vit D per day and about 1000 mg calcium and some Mg also. My blood tests came back as quite a surpise. E -313 w/using just a Vivelle .035 (Dr was amazed at the amount of E I guess my own ovaries are producing) wants me to lower Vivelle to .025 and the following month try it without any E T-42 total and my free T went to .8 (it always hovered around 1.8 which probably caused my high T symptoms) TSH -.022 this was the most surprising because I take the same dose and will now reduce my thyroid meds slowly (she did say that when the thyroid is too low your body uses the D very quickly and probably some of the other hormones also) Vit D-47- she would like this higher so I will increase to 6000 IU per day I feel good and my skin and hair are doing well. Getting my period every 28days and lasts for 5 and has gotten pretty normal (no excessive cramps as when I first started) I did have to up my Vit D for the fall and winter months. The strangest thing of all is that I am lowering my hormone amounts and I think my own ovaries are kicking in (think I might have ovulated this month). I do not use any P and have not for many months. So far I have to say that the Vit D/calcium have made a huge difference. Hope this benefits others and motivates them to do a liittle more research on Vit D.
