Prolactin was 700 miu/l the last two tests and 400 back in march
Free t isnt tested, testosterone was 0.5 nmol/l which is approx 14 ng/dl last time i had it tested which was in august
SHBG again not tested, thyroid was fine as i had free T3, free T4 and TSH tested
The nhs wont agree to sublingual, the gic's range is also pretty conservative at 200-600 pmol/l or 54-163 pg/ml for estradiol, its oral tablets, gel or patches here, im tempted to wait until i get my referral for surgery then try and find someone stateside that will do informed consent via skype and prescribe me injections
Ok i will stay on the finasteride and also hope the coconut oil helps, i have lost a few lbs, not as much as before i went on holiday though
The higher prolactin would make sense lowering estrogen, although stress can drive prolactin too. I was going suggest looking into vitex, (starting at 40 mg). Or raise progesterone by using PC (at night), sometimes I use DHEA (25 mg) at bedtime too.
Zinc (low dose) would also help too. Keep in mind hrt (oral contraceptives) are known for raising PRL, and so does breast stimulation, oragsm, anti-psychotics. But vitex helps to raise progesterone.......and D2.
Some light aerobics can help in reduce PRL. I'm sure you've heard of how some endo's only monitor prolactin levels (not estrogen), and by that their montoing for Hyperprolactinemia.
