So I had blood work done last week. I won't see the endo till Wednesday but they called with the results on Friday.
Last time I was in there, during the summer, my T was still down around 2.5 total and less that 0.1 free while E was around or just under 100.
During the time since then I have actually increased E to between 6 and 8 mgs daily (oral), while dropping PM back to around 1000 to 1500 a day which given my history with the bloody stuff is very low.
Because my T has remained very low, I have not been on any anti androgen.
Well new results have T rising to 15+, which I attribute to the lowered dosage of PM. Despite everything that has been said, I believe PM does have not only an estrogenic affect but also suppresses T.
So I am curious as to whether the endo will now be willing to add spiro to my program.
However, E has gobne through the roof, and as of last Wednesday when the test was taken stood at over 500. Yikes. The office told me to immediately decrease E dosage by half. But I know, and Sarah confirms this, that E test results can fluctuate widely according to time of day and how recently E was administered. I am not worried about the seemingly high aamount since I had accidentally and thoughtlessly taken 2 mgs about an hour prior to the test. Still, interested to learn what my Doc will say on Wednesday
