Sex Hormones
 
I have been trying to solve this for years,
Perhaps need s the expertise of Lotus , but in simple form pls x
Now us T girls to remain calm, need lowered T or an amount of E, mix,
If we lower  T we feel crap, and if goes below a certain level it can be dangerous as the body needs  a sex hormone ie E or T,
So how do people manage who suppress T with PM use as they are not supplemting with the sex hormone E as pm is not real estrogen ?
 
Please help

The way my GD explained things to me was that Estrogen is like Testosterone, but the Female version.   A man needs an amount to keep up metabolism, bone density and it effects blood chemistry in many different ways.  In Females, you need at least a certain amount for the same reason..

On non Pharma, I was not getting enough AA's to suppress T, nor was I getting enough estrogen from PM to be able to replace my T even if I did drive it down...  What was happening was T and E combo that I had was creating a situation like acid that was slowly causing bone damage and metabolism problems.  So, really, for me it was best to get on HRT.  I tried Male HRT for about a month...  But between FSH, and LH it was putting more stress on my heart than the doctor's wanted.  Besides, it started my boobs to jump start anyways.

My thought was " what the hell ", I mean, I will get my boobs, but die from another heart attack???   Great, I may end up with double D's, but be laid out in a casket??   So, when my "normal" doctor said she didn't know where to go from there, I came out to her that I wasn't that upset for having boobs, I was more worried about my body trying to kill itself in the process.

Hence, her understanding of my needs and her referrals.   

I personally think that it was meant to be for me....   I am loving it all, except the low dosage is taking way too long.

I hope at least the first 2 paragraphs went with the theme of this thread, my friend.  Sorry if this turned out to be more of a hijacking....

Nope
no problem

But PM is not real E so is it creating a problem ?

Your right, it's not "real E", but the body treats it as such, and after the body does it's thing with digestion and chemical process it's very close.
