I'm hypo but have my thryoid dialed in. FT3 of 3.9, FT4 of 1.2 and low TSH...I never even look at this. I've struggled with estrogen dominance after trying keto/fasting about 2 years ago. I stopped that about 1 1/2 years ago. Eat extremely clean, no PUFAs and balanced complex carbs etc. Anyway, I have estrogen dominance and recently went on both Arimadex and tamoxafin for 2 weeks. Tested my levels and my estrogen total serum went from 200's to 681 and a few days later at 1250. WHAT??? not okay. LOL but I was dropping weight. It freaked me out so I stopped the tamoxafin and have been taking arimadex 1mg a day and my estrogen total serum came down to 400 about 5 days ago. Got another test in hopes it came down more. I work out about 90 min in the am intense crossfit workouts, walk 2 miles a day and sauna here and there. My meds include T3 60 mcg, T4 125mcg. I take them on circadian ryhthm. I also take 100mcg of progesterone every night. ONe other call out is right after tamoxfin that I quite my progesterone shot up to 24 and I've never been able to get it above a 15 from all the labs I've done. Help...did the tamoxafin cause the spike in estrogen? Should I take it 2x a week or skip it all together and stay with arimadex. Thanks!
