any suggestions for period between now and thyroid retest?
thanks.
I added my labs from today.
I posted a link in estrodiol and why it matters
It says progesterone is converted to free T and lowers E2 is this bullshit in your opinion?
If true would progesterone cream convert to free T and lower E2?
KSman, can you look here.
Thanks
Hey KSman, I recently updated my log and I was wondering if you could take a look. Thanks!
Good Morning,
New lab results and the doctor wants to try ZRT blood spot testing. When you have a second can you see my last post and see if anything stands out or if you have comments? Thanks
hey I am in the Kansas City Kansas area, I tested 109 ng/dg TT ad 2.5 for serum test. I am 23 yold. My doctor tells me I need an MRI to look at my pituatary but my prolactin is 6.5 1 and my TSH is 0.81. I did not get free t3 or t4 tested (it did not occur to me at the time) but my t4 is showing as 8.4. I think I can rule out thyroid issues? Since my prolactin is showing as normal do I need this MRI? I’m a young guy so this has me worried.
I have been away and will try to catch up.
Chubby: You need your own thread with your labs there and other things as per the advice for new guys sticky. You are young, but need to learn as much, or more as the older guys here. Read the stickies. There is a lot to get through and that takes time. Docs are mostly useless, so you need to take charge of your own health care; you cannot be passive.
Your doc is on the right track, there are issues that affect the pituitary that do not involve prolactin. Read that sticky. Create your thread and from here, provide links back to that. I can meet you in 66047for beer and food. PM’s disabled on this site ;(
Thyroid function: Body temps are the bottom line, see thyroid basics sticky and post in your own thread.
KSman- I know you’re slammed, but when you get a chance I’d love to have your input. Thanks Much, clarkster

Been on the road working: Expect a lot of work for next 6-8 months. I may not be here as often.

Hi Ksman can you check out my TRT thread and give me your feedback? Thanks!
Ksman- I’d love to buy you a beer and a meal if you could help me out. My doctor just lost his license for sexually abusing patients, possibly including myself during my teen years (not sure if what he was doing was medically necessary). Now I’m in need of a new doc and advice. I’m in Roeland Park/KCK.
Anyone else that has advice on TRT docs in this area can contact me as well.

Depends on how deep your pockets are. I do not know of a GP who does this who will take BCBSKS.
If you aren’t working too hard i finally got the results from capillary blood testing versus venous. Very interesting results (sky high) that now leave me scratching my head…
Thank you!
KSman,
If you get a chance, could you take a look at the most recent information listed in the thread regarding my wife’s hormones?
