I’ve been studying the difference between Testosterone, Estrogen, hormone imbalance, etc.
A few things about me:
- On depression meds
- Sleep Apnea - I use a CPAP
- Low Thyroid, I take synthroid for that.
I was diagnosed with Low T (had about 220) My doc started me on a shot every two weeks. Right after my shot I’d be at 800, and then towards the end of the two weeks I’d be at 300. I take a quarter of a shot four times every two weeks now instead of one every two weeks. I’ve felt better, and I would imagine I’ve leveled out at about 500 or so Total T.
Here is the progression:
1/09/2013: Before I started T-shots
Free T: 45.1
Total T: 222 LOW
Free T3: 3.4
Free T4: 0.65 LOW
TSH: 1.22
3/27/2013: Right after 2 week shot.
Free T: 244.5
Total T: 849
Free T3: 3.8
Free T4: 0.68 LOW
TSH: 1.05
Total PSA: 0.42
9/23/2013: 2 weeks since T shot.
Free T: 114.0
Total T: 483
Free T3: 3.2
Free T4: 0.61 LOW
TSH: 3.38
Total PSA: 0.43
Now onto my new tests:
I just got these 5 things tested
Cortisol: 9.2
Estradiol: 21
DHEA: 243
FSH: 0.38
LH: 3.00
Can anyone tell me how the ratios are as far as Estradiol to Free T? Is there anything glaring that could be going on?
