bloodtest results

[ZTEM]

I just got results from my doc yesterday I was on HRT for like 3 months but had some non related med issues and had been off for 11months

my prolactin is 14 (said its extremely high)
TSH - 230 (said my metabolism is practically stalled out)
Test 450 (borderline Low)
DHEA - Extremely low
the doc gave me some other results but I somehow forgot them
Also she gave me a measurement saying that my sleep is like I am barely sleeping and will always be tired



I was told to take OTC DHEA 25mg, and Melatonin 3mg for sleep
I was prescribed

Test 200/ml .1cc ed
HCG 3 times a week
T3/T4 2grains daily

Has anyone taken such a prescription? if so did it help you feel better and more productive?

A .1cc per day sounds strange to me. Unless she wants you to inject .7 a week. Which would be right in the middle for HRT doses.

I always request copies of my lab results. They are happy to oblige.

Concerning the sleep issue, did she order a sleep study? Or have you been tested for sleep apnea?

i think somewhere the numbers got written down wrong as the only thing i can think was meant for the test doseage is 1cc ew
and the hcg doesnt show a dose?
and im not too familiar with those thyroid meds but never heard of grains so i'll....

A grain is a unit of measurement for thyroid meds. A grain is usually between 50mg-62.5mg (depending on the brand).

What kind of test were your prescribed? I am guessing pro...since you said ED. It could take months to get the dosing right. Some people will need less, some more.
