Anyone really knowledgable in sex hormones?

[Guest guest]

I'm afraid that by focusing (obsessing) on my thyroid/adrenal

situation for a year now, that I have unfortunately neglected

the 'sex hormones. " I do occasionally take progesterone cream (post

menopausal) but was frightened by the estradiol cream.

Now after reading some of the posts and Val's link to hormone

restoration, I am rethinking going back on the estradiol.

My labs...way back when,...were low in all three sex hormones, and I

have bioidentical progest/estradiol and testosterone.

Thing is, my DHEA is low as well. Should I take ALL OF IT....all

three sex hormones AND DHEA, which is supposed to raise the sex

hormones?

I'm afraid of too much. Anyone really know a lot about this?

Thanks for the help

As with ALL prohormones (T4 comes to mind) we cannto depend on conversions to

get the proper levels of our hormones. DHEA has things it does BY ITSELF before

converting to sex hrmones so I would want ALL of them at optimal levels. I will

very soon be taking all of them.

Do you have a good doctor? I just posted this a minute ago:

In othet words I'm in the same pit with you Surprisingly, I'm not

worried anymore, because I finally have a good doc who knows what

she's doing, which means I don't have to figure everything out by

myself anymore.

I hope you'll find the help you need. Take care!

Even with a good doctor, I hope no one here will ever stop doing their

homework, and checking up on everything the doctor says and prescribes.

I'm completely afraid to leave my health in anyone else's hands

anymore. I do this much for my animals, double checking on my own every

bit of vet advice or Rx. Now I do it for myself as well.

Thankfully, the internet has made it much easier to find resources and

to check everything.

Gotcha. Am going to test again this week, and start up on all of

them again.

Thanks

Of course, but it's just really annoing having to be your own doctor

and figuring everything out by yourself. My doc here in Finland is

great, but she doesn't know a thing about these other hormones. She's

just learned how to treat AF. Basically she would have listened, if I

had been able to figure out what's wrong with me, what tests I need,

and how to administer medication, but it's just more work than I can

handle. Besides it's easy to go wrong without a good doc. That's why

I'd rather fly to Belgium to see a good doc than figure everything out

by myself. It's much easier to check, when you KNOW what you're

looking for
