Any feedback on what to expect greatly appreciated ! I read testosterone turns into estrogen gives you energy and lifts your mood ...it’s only 1 mg as I don’t want to grow a beard . Trying anything at this stage .... so desperate !
Hi Lori, omg! Can't say I've ever heard of that! Where did you find that out?
Good luck Lori, even if you grow a beard...if it makes you feel better! Is it cream or tablet? Keep us updated 🤞
Thx Lou! When you’re desperate you’ll try anything ... I have a good razor ha! It’s the lowest dose you can get and read that other women have had good relief with it
Lori - Your line about the beard gave me a giggle - and I guess I REALLY needed that, LOL!
Oh my - I'm running naked through rose bushes on another string and willing to grow a beard with you on this one, Lori!
I got my Saliva Results today and here is what it said:
Progesterone Normal Range 75-270 - drumroll - mine is 17.
The Ratio of Progesterone to Estradiol should be 100 - 500 - mine is 8.
= Fragile Perimenopausal Mess. My new acronym FPM!
And yet many of you have been honest about the side affects from introducing the natural progesterone creams, too. I don't know what I'm going to do yet.
Lou - exactly my thoughts! Rose bushes naked or Peri Nightmare? Beard or Peri Nightmare?
I'll take the beard and the bushes!
Anything that helps us feel better!
Well thanks for making me get off my butt and look at mine
Progesterone 0.5 postmenopausal
Estradiol 15 which is Postmenopausal
Testosterone 20
Agh!!!!
Whatever the results I feel like crap 😖 hope this is over soon !!
And yes I said on another post that I’d drink bleach right now to ‘feel better’ !
Yes running bearded naked through the bushes whilst drinking a carton of bleach ... sounds like it could be a good movie ! 🤣
Your hormones are doing the tango too! The last gyno checked my testosterone levels...they were 1...then told me there’s nothing she can do. I’m like, Why the H-E-double hockey sticks did you test me then! Aaaahhh! I ordered progesterone cream last week, then cancelled it, I’m such a chicken!
Lori,
My results that came back said I was very low in the Testosterone as well - still in the range - but at the bottom. The form did say that having it that low can cause depression& fatigue. Not sure yet what I will be doing but am thankful to have a baseline of where I am at -realize it fluctuates regularly.
Keep us posted!
I’m at 20 which isn’t that bad dr said but I still have the fatigue and depression . Going to give it a try . When you get desperate and lie becomes unbearable you’ll try anything
You may need to go to a natural doctor they can give you a compounded cream and yes 1 is really low ... I’m surprised you’re able to function .
It’s terrible. I wish I could be put in a medical coma abd be checked in a couple of years to see if it’s all gone!
Yes if we just had a DATE when things would level out at least we’d know there would be light at the end of the tunnel . Right now it’s a dark long tunnel. I know we’re all different but one lady said 10 years! I can’t take 10 years of this !
I do know when I crashed at 41 and became very ill with Peri it took quite a while to level out but I did eventually . Here’s hoping 🙏🏻
I’ve done loads of reading online ... and if the progesterone and estrogen don’t agree with you many women have had luck on testosterone . I was ok on the patch and it leveled me out but mentally I felt drugged not myself so I now have to deal with the awful fatigue but feel like my mind is somewhat back. So testosterone is good for energy
Hi Lori
I'm on testogel which is really good. Prepare for better energy levels, along with hairy thighs
its essential I think, but beware that if you use too much, you may become super angry!! Xx
Hi sassy !
I’m only getting 1mg how much is yours ? I tried it many years ago and made me a bit bloated but right now after the day I’ve had today .. .I don’t care!
I had the worst day today with the fatigue ... I swear it was AWFUL. Banking on this to help me as the estradiol made me feel weird and not grounded.
Hi Lori, it's worth a go. Just make sure you stock up on razors! And you can if your voice gets deeper-stop! No, seriously, I really hope it helps. I will be following you. Good luck honey! Donna xxx
Thanks Donna !
I’m not that low actually I’m at 20 and average range for women is 15-70 I’ll try anything at this rate!
Hi Lou ! It’s a cream only 1 mg but heard good things by applying just a small amount .
Here’s hoping on this crazy meno rollercoaster !
