10. Doctor decided to run Estradiol level and thyroid tests to see if that was causing weight gain. Was wondering what you thought of these results
Estradiol on day 3 of cycle 23
T4 total 5.5 ref 6.1-12.2
T3 total0.8 ref 0.9-1.8
TSH 1.56 ref 0.34 5.60
Do you think thyroid or estrogen replacement is necessary? Thanks for the help hate running all these miles and not seeing a difference.
It took care of the hot-flashes but caused me to gain 10 pounds in a 6 week period. My doc said the weight gain was from menopause. Well, I took the patch off 2 weeks ago and threw it away, and I have now lost 6 of those pounds and feel much better. I think it was causing depressiont too. I have been on bio-identical hormones for a few years - progesterone cream and DHA cream - and have done fine. I had osteoporosis before the hormone creams but have now reversed it.
the prometrium and estradiol are causing my blood sugars to stay high, as well as make me very tired, as well as making me gain weight. I walk briskly at least 1 hour to 1 1/2 hour daily. I watch what I eat, low sugars, etc. I'm very active, watching my 18 month old grand daughter, I'm NOT a couch potatoe. I am feeling so out of balance! Any suggestions? I know that the estradiol can block the intake of my tyroid meds.
There are medical issues that can cause you to gain/be unable to lose weight -- these include hypothyroidism and insulin resistance, among others.
I'd suggest that you get your thyroid tested, as well as your blood sugars...... just so you know, I have both of these issues, so recognize the signs.........
A decline in Ovarian Hormones can surely cause UTI's and also a frequency of Yeast infections. You can read about this problem in one of the many books available on menopause or you can find info on some of the websites for some of the Menopause leaders, who also advocate the use of Bioidentical hormones. Dr. Elizabeth Lee Vliet has offered very helpful info. Another good source is Dr. Erika Schwartz. You can google their names to find their websites.
I went to the doctor to see why I gain weight so easily. I collect allot of fat around my waist and chest and have always had to keep my meals very small. My father went through the same thing and didn't live very long. Died in his 50's.
I feel I'm going the same way and would like to explore why this is happening to me. I have eaten healthy all my life, excercise, and do not drink or smoke.. It should be enough.

Most lose due to the metobolism speeding up and with your weight gain your doctor and you may want to look at progesterone/estradiol and testosterone levels very close to see if you have a pattern there that could be causing these issues to rise.
Also where is the weight gain? Is it a pooch belly fat? That then, should be a sign of looking at some adrenal issues first too - before assuming its all thyroid related.
s out there called Cyclical or Epidodic which would account for the weight gain and low T. Low cortisol does not cause weight gain or low T. High cortisol does - so adding more cortisol would actually make you worse. However, since you have a gonadal issue, you may have another issue - maybe genetic or delayed puberty which may be a pituitary issue.
I think you need to find a good endocrinologist. Adding supplements willy nilly may make things worse and interfere with testing.
The most common side effects associated with Tamoxifen are hot flashes, vaginal dryness, nausea and weight gain. These are less commonly seen with intake of aromatase inhibitors like Aromasin. Women who take Tamoxifen are also at an increased risk (compared with aromatase inhibitors) of developing blood clots which can travel to other organs and cause complications like pulmonary embolism or stroke.
You should evaluated by your history such as determine if and when you have pubic hair, determine if and when you had breast development, determine your weight and height and exercise history, and eating habits such as anorexia. You should be checked to see if you have a uterus and ovaries by pelvic exam and ultrasound.
