Hey there, been to the Doc, got the results back.
Comments and suggestions welcome. I am now convinced to add an AI to HRT regimin, as well as lower my weekly dose to 200mg/week.
Now what AI would you good bro's suggest?
Test results:
Fasting Glucose: 5.5 mmol/L (range 3.3 - 6.0) I want to lower this to about 4...How?
Fasting Insulin: 18.3 uU/ml (range 2.7 - 10.4) Bugger, this needs to come down with haste....How?
Thyrotropin: 1.27 (range 0.35 - 4.94) Happy with this
Thyroxine: 11.6 (range 9.0 - 19.0) Happy with this
S-Progesterone 0.3 (range 0.4 - 3.1) Guessing this needs to come up a bit...Dr has prescribed a cream, is this okay?
E2 327 (range 40 - 161) big problem, what do I use to lower this, at what dose, how often?
Total T 55.5 (Greater than 12 is good) Lowering dose of T anyway (Checked up, this is equal to +- 1600 ng/dl)
Free T 1.83 (Greater than 0.23 is good) As above (checked up, this is equal to +-52 ng/dl, still seems to low to me)
SHBG 15.20 (range 11.9 - 55.8) Happy with this
DHEA 4.94 (range 3.20 - 14.11) Doc wants this higher, has prescribed a pill
PSA 2.28 (range 0.0 - 4.0) Happy with this
S-Cortisol 136 (range (am) 101 - 535 (pm) 79 - 477) This needs to come up a bit
The Dr has prescribed supplments for Progesterone and DHEA as above, is this good? SO, with those being sorted by him, my main concerns at the moment are
1) E2
2) Insulin levels / Glucose levels
Please give advice so that I can get hold of the requisite supps/AI's asap?
Thanks in advance for all the help.

PS. Will probably redo the above tests again, within 12 weeks...
Results from 1st bloods for reference:
CRP: 0.1 (apparently this is good)
Homocysteine: 11.8 umol/l (Range 0.0 - 14.4) (apparently this is okay too.)
Progesterone: Undetectable... (apparently this is not so good
)
Total Test: 8.0 nmol/l (apparently this is not so good)
Free Test: .26 nmol/l (Suprised I'm still standing?)
DHEA: 5.35 umol/l
Cortisol: 173nmol/l
SHBG: 16.10 nmol/l
