I am a 44 yr old woman (Partial hysterectomy)
Symptoms of low prog and high estrogen for more than a decade.
I have been doing strength training for 1.5 years with minimal muscle gains, some weeks I take days off because I feel muscle weakness some days. I continue to keep working on my weight training regimen, I've gained some strength but not nearly as much in that 1.5 years for consistent lifts for 3-5 x per week.
I am wondering if a low dose of bioidentical testosterone cream could be beneficial for me at this point in life?
or would CortiNon be more appropriate? What has helped you?
Other Symptoms:
Some cognitive issues, hard to lose any amount of weight, i am about 15-20 overweight, low low libido, vaginal dryness and my hands fall asleep at night .. one hand here and there!
I’m newly on:
100mgs of Micronized progesterone caps (just increased to 100mgs @ night time)
Was on 50-60mgs cream for 3 years and my progesterone wouldn’t get passed 7.0 ng/mL !? Goal is 9-10
My Free Testosterone 2.5 pg/ml (2.10-4.0)
Total Testosterone 38.2 (28-38)
Prolactin 19.2 (h)
Estrone •119 pg/ml.
DHEAs - 184
SBGH - 116.6 (75-95)
LH - 2.4
FSH 3.5
Have been optimal on my thyroid panel - I do take T3 and 1 grain or NDT!
1 Aspirin + 1 Niacinamine 3 x per week.
Vit C, E, K + Magnesium / M.B. / Energin
Eating Bioenergetic since Nov 2019 --
Any advice would be greatly appriciated :)
Thank you!
