I asked to get bloodwork done because of what I figured to be estrogen related symptoms. I know this from a couple of symptoms…Gyno, low sex drive, store abdominal fat extremely easily, hard time gaining muscle, depression, apathy, bloat/water retention, horrible pump…
I had gyno surgery and low and behold my gyno has since returned less than a year later, because you can take out the majority of the gland but I have such a hormonal imbalance that I had a feeling it would come back. I will be going back to my doctor in December to have it removed again. Also, when I try to put on muscle or weight, my weight will stay the same but my stomach will get softer and gain fat yet the rest of my body will stay the same size.
I got my results back today (only over the phone) and Total test was 101 and free test was 11…this is very odd considering in 2009 my total test was 500+ and in 2008 it was 400+…and yet in 09 and 08 my estradiol was much higher than it is now. Somehow, my estradiol was in range and I am just completely lost as to what the issue is. Any ideas?
