no rebound estrogen dominance?
You will likely go back to your current state.

But you don't have hypothyroidism as far as I can tell.

makes sense.... i think it would be wise to start low...
how does .25mg twice week Mon/Thurs sound? every 72 hrs essentially right....
she said i have subclinical and previous tests before during 2014 had my tsh around 4.62 once and 3.89 another time... always stayed above 2.88 and as high as the upper limits of 4...
think i should hold off on thyroid treatment?
just seems like a crap ton of stuff to be put on all at once...
I assume that OP ia natty. When the HPTA feedback loop is "open" AI's work a little differently. They don't crash your E2 because you compensate by cranking out more testosterone so there is more available to aromatize. It is kind of like running a SERM while natty.
I was really hoping that i would be prescribed gh or ghrp's and ghrh's but that wasn't the case... just dont have low igf scores to warrant that.. although she said CA's range is up to 432, i land at around 300 and the low range is 150.... 150-432, but fall in the 300's... shucks....
can anyone comment on the hydrocortisone pills? i'm uneasy about that... and dont quite know...
Hydrocortisone is known by its other name around here - cortisol. The doc likely believes you have adrenal issues and is trying to attack it from both ends of the spectrum; adrenaline/epinephrine/norepinephrine and it's antagonist, hydrocortisone/cortisol. While cortisol does get a bad name, it is an essential hormone to keep your body from burning itself out.
I have adrenal problems myself, and my cortisol is VERY low in the morning, which means I wake up with an unwanted adrenaline spike - making me a bit grumpy. It's common with thyroid/HPTA issues, but often overlooked.

the wp thyroid and AI are a good deal and they might help you. That e2 is high and thyroid is subclinical but not normal. The rest is horseshit. You could try thyroid and AI. The thyroid doesn't usually shutdown from exogenous supplementation. Optimizing thyroid hormone levels and estradiol are not a bad idea. Like half wit said, the other crap is overpriced vitamins. Don't ask me about the cortisone, I'm a noob with the adrenal axis stuff =P
20-30 pg/ml is what many consider optimal.
Interesting, so did you have to do a cortisol test to find this out by spitting inside a tube 4 x day and sending it to a lab? I had to complete this along with and lh/fsh tube where i pour the afternoon liquid into it and send off... still waiting on those results.
FWIW all of my labs have been the non-sensitive ones from LabCorp and list a range of 7.6 - 42.6.
Mine was done at an actual hospital that has a laboratory. They couldn't give me the ranges becuz they send it out to ARULAB.com
Just a bunch of idiots who don't know what to do I guess...
The range could be anything, could be <130 or 20-60? who knows...
oh well
