My brief history:
I had gynecomastia removed, my T levels were always low (200-300), prolactin a bit elevated
I had Hashimoto and finally thyroidectomy 4 months ago (NIFTP) and now I’m on Cytomel 75mcg (still adjusting dosage) - I have never felt any difference taking Synthroid.
All labs are done after the last surgery so they can still be worsened by post-op stress. My LDL/HDL and sugar was never as bad as now, but I hope it will change with time.
My E2 was over the range, and after HCG my T and E2 skyrocketed. I don’t feel better at all. What should I add to get rid of E2? Nolva or any AI? My endo doesn’t care about this at all but I’m fat, bloated and depressed. I’m located in Germany.
