Avatar f tn when men get older they make less testosterone and in our industrial world men loose it quicker progesterone is the building blocks for testosterone so if he does not have the building material how would he build the finished item. its safe and very good for yourself aswell, it has so many benefits for women its mad they dont prescribe it from doctors. well its not mad its economics they cant make any money from it as its not a drug. take a look at this website http://www.progesterone.co.
Avatar f tn im not seeing an endocrine doctor, im seeing a hormone specilist. im currently on natural progesterone and natural testosterone. im very very sensitive to artificial hormones so i really cant take them. and i never really understood how to chart my temps so i guess i should probably figure that one out.
Avatar m tn 2 - If I was to take some form of Progesterone (the method is not important for this question), and my progesterone levels are restored, why would my progesterone levels stay restored after I stop taking the progesterone supplement (cream or otherwise)? I'm interested in understanding how Progesterone keeps on opposing oestrogen even when I stop taking it? By using progesterone what am I trying to achieve? Where is the turning point back to full health?

Avatar n tn These are specific blends to each individual and they have got to be properly balance for the individual to maintain wellness and ward off disease and counter act with human progesterone and testosterone for balance. I am not on HRT nor have I had surgery - but recently I was found estrogen dominant by specific labs that aren't commonly used. I am still in the beginning stages of balancing progesterone and estrodiol to maintain my wellness.
484508 tn?1290010544 See if this helps,If you have been diagnosed as having too much testosterone and you want to rid yourself of the symptoms, the best course of treatment is bio-identical hormone therapy (BHT). Over the past few decades, physicians have prescribed either synthetic hormones or hormones derived from animals. Hormones from both of these sources can have undesirable side effects. Look for a doctor that will prescribe bio-identical hormones.
Avatar n tn I am a 25 year old female, I had a saliva hormone kit evaluated with testosterone, DHEA, estradiol, and progesterone, also progesterone/estradiol ratio done. The results came back as this, Estradiol- normal Progesterone- Low; 47.2 (range of 127-446) Ratio of Progesterone to estradiol - 33.0 Low; (range of 200-600) Testosterone- 83.5 High; (range of 6.0-49) DHEA- 366.7 High- (range of 106-300) I can tell that i have way higher 'male hormones' than the women's hormones but, why?
Avatar n tn You could have your levels or testosterone and progesterone checked. If your Progesterone is spilling into Testosterone - boils and oily skin are very common in the senerio. I was too high on Progesterone and zits were out of control and painful for me. Until I dropped that level it was a problem Low levels of hypothyroidism can sometimes off balance these other hormones and cause issues.
Avatar m tn My endocrinologist ordered some tests and found that my testosterone was 250. That is really really low. It has hovered at around that level for about a year. A healthy person my age should have a total testosterone of between 700-1000. I don't know what my normal T levels were before but they must have been much higher than 250. It must have something to do with all the cycling I do. The Ed came on suddenly.
Avatar n tn I just had a saliva test to test my adrenals and I found my progesterone to be over 1000, which is very high and cause tiredness, depression and can almost stop your periods. I have all those symptoms and last month my period didn't even last one day. Any connection do you think to the armour? I haven't taken any other meds and can't figure out why I have so much.
Avatar n tn I started out having black hairs here and there and you could pull them out with a twisser now i have lots of them under my nose on both sides and down the side of my upper lip area now i notice my hair on my chin is getting thicker and i have more scattered black hairs i just recently started back on Estrogen (the one in the can) but the dr who gave it to me acted like it would do no good to take a blood test to see how low i was on hormones to correct this problem I had a hysterectomy at 30
Avatar m tn I went through a serious bout of stress from my job a couple of years ago and ended up leaving. My hair thinned, I started getting fat round my waste and on my chest giving me the dreaded man boobs look. The stress and lack of sleep got so bad at times that I often forgot what day it was and could not sleep or stop my hands from shaking. Now the problem remains and I can't get rid of it. My DHEA is fine and so is my testosterone.
975514 tn?1324997938 I just was diagnosed by my doctor with low testosterone, progesterone and DHEA. What causes this? Does anyone here know? I wasn't sure in which forum to post such a question. I have suffered a miscarriage in the past (6 years ago) and am fairly sure it has something to do with this. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.
Avatar f tn Test showed high testosterone, high estrogen, and darn near no progesterone. Prescribed est. and prog. and those are supposedly good now...but if I'm normal how come i feel AWEFUL? I'm exhausted, wake up 3 or 4 times throughout the night, am gaining a LOT of weight (30 lbs in the last 6 months) and while i admit i dont always eat healthy...there is NO way im eating enough to warrant that...
Avatar n tn Will this help with the Adrenal, Estrone and Progesterone? Since I am increasing my Armour Thyroid, should I wait and retest the Adrenal, Estrone and Progesterone to see if these have changed before adding any type of therapy?
Avatar f tn I read that both of these hormones compete with each other for binding sites and that progesterone can help with this. My Dr thought I was already taking progesterone and immediately prescribed it to me from a compounding pharmacy. I have been applying of the progesterone cream each night for 2 weeks now. I feel a sense of calmness. But my energy level has not improved and the total weight gain since starting BRT goes from 16 to 18 lbs. I put in a request for my Dr to increase the Armour.
358971 tn?1330888975 minbumthy Well...i'm not pregnant, so i'm still not sure what its comfing from. I asked the doc (hormone doc) and he said he didn't know. My testosterone and DHEA is high, progesterone is low so i'm thinking that maybe the testosterone is causing it. To me, that would make sense b/c men usually eat more than women and need to consume more calories than their counterparts...
Avatar f tn How many if u moms had low progesterone during pregnancy and had a boy or having a boy?
505857 tn?1329681517 the tests i went for yesterday morning were for my testosterone, progesterone and thyroid. i'm not supposed to get my progesterone taken if a period starts which i thought had yesterday, but i've had nothing other than that one show of blood. My chest is beginning to hurt which isn't unusual before AF. I find out my blood results next week so got my fingers crossed all is okay.
Avatar n tn Just make sure that testosterone is part of the regime (not just progesterone and estrogen, as increased estrogen without it will actually make the problem worse). Testosterone levels are directly linked to a keeping your meibomian glands functioning properly.
Avatar n tn I have sever hypothyroid and I did test my hormone test. My prolactin is incredibly high and my progesterone is lower than normal which is leading to high estrogen. To counteract my doctor recommended Progesterone.
1369218 tn?1282423884 I am seeing a new endo in a few weeks. I am low in progesterone, but was told it can cause testosterone to rise if you take supplements. I already have the hair growth thing going on too. My testosterone is elevated at times and normal other times. My periods are doing better since eating gluten free though. I was clotting so bad a few months ago I became anemic. I just feel like a big ball of a mess. I cannot seem to get it all to work right anymore. I used to be able to lose weight.
178345 tn?1242536246 Nice guy, but not much help for me at this juncture in my life. I am still on Progesterone (bio cream) and some Testosterone. Vliet has a revised book coming out on Aug. 30 and I have it on order so I can read up on this whole mess (sorry, but that is how I am feeling about all of this confusion). All I know is that if my Estrogen gets too low, my legs hurt so bad I honestly cannot stand it. Some docs say to add more Progesterone and others say add more Estrogen.
