She knew something was wrong but was embarrassed to talk about it because in her mind this was only happening to her n noone else. She was not aware that this was somewhat common since most people do not talk openly about these things. After having her follow this and a little persuasion she finally made an appt and got a fairly extensive blood test done. Her dr. says it's all normal (in range) but I see a few red flags and am going to post the results on here shortly in hopes that some of our knowledgeable members can give a little insight.

Glad to hear things are looking up for you and hopefully they continue to get even better! cheers!

oh my gawd i am sooo happy to hear this! i understand how she must have been feeling and even if the hormone route doest turn out to be the issue, Im glad she is opening up and speaking about feeling "off" ...and if th hormones are the issue ~ plz feel free to invite her to post here any questins or just to get out any feelings she maybe having <3

The hormones have not only made life for enjoyable, but she doesn't feel "broken" any more. It has been a godsend.

Sorry if that was overshare. I am not used to sharing details like that.

lol no appologizing, no such thing as over sharing when it comes to this stuff ~share away, get in touch with your inner estrogine cycle *gigglez*

great news for you and your wifey <3 and I am sooo happy for her, i can only imagine how great she now feels...infact its wierd, but at the time I started all this my biggest concern/ stressor/noticable difference was my whole libidio droppage BUT now that Im starting to feel other changes I realy realize how messed up I was in more important areas that were effecting me and the poor people that had to deal with me lol

i hadnt realized just how irritable impulsivly snippy and misserable I truely had slowly become and how much i very much missed being my calm cool happy self :)

S4MS. Great job with making so much headway so soon!!! I'd be curious how your labs compare. Keep it going!!!

this is the most important element of HRT!

Just an update... test is up to 1.5mg daily all else same. Use est maybe 1x a week now.
The pro is felt to be increased by me an compounding pharm but Dr requires an other visit if it is to be increased an the fee for a visit is total $400.00 ish - at the moment I feel fine enough to just let it ride for now :)

What a diff - I can wake at 6 am with no problem - have energy for the day. My sleeps improved / can fall asleep at 10:00 pm rather than be up till 3:00am or so... also never noticed untill i stopped - that I was sweating in my sleep like a hot flash. Sex drive is back - not yet full force but somedays are certainly more exciting during a bike ride lol.

I pay after insurance 45.00 a month for all three scripts total.

noticed ZERO NADDA undesired side effects...not sure if its due to my dose size or the compound type or just me~ but very pleased (was tad worried about unwanted hair or other undesirable body changes) was informed to expect weight gain - yet i have lost weight (due to diet mostly im sure).

So great to read your update. I'm thrilled for you!

Well I'm just leaening on iff myself and from what I'm reading and my reasearch thos is whay I've obtained so far: pt-141 is a experimental drug still that has not been officially approved anywhere yet and its purpose is to cause arousal to both the male and female... its mpre of a temporary fix as it only last women from 24-36 hours amd men from 12-24 hours... it is a subcutaneous injection tbat normally takes about 4-6 hours to take effect but when it does from the reviews I've read it makes you feel as if you were 16-18 years all over again... it works off stimulations from the brain itself releasing more of the hormones that causes excitement in your pants lol unlike drugs lile viagra that just promotes more blood flow directly to your genitals.. this more promotes the actual actions and great feeling sensations along with extra bllod flow to the right places.. they say to be ready a few hoirs after the inj cause you will get extreme urges to keep pleasing or being pleased if u know what I mean lol... my and the wife are yet try this bit we are taking it into serious consideration... haven't really read any bad or common sides though I'm aire there has to be some stories out there.. as I said I'm still researching it... from the reviews I've read from multiple different sites people seem to really love this stuff and say it is extremely effective.... it seems to be more of a once in a while type of thing though (maybe once a month or so)... I've checked a source I knpw and they carry it for 30$ US for 10mg and a good regular dose is normally about .75 mg for both male and female TO MY UNDERSTANDING... Hope this gave a little insight for those who may consider this path as well

Glad to hear all is turning out great S4! Thanks for updating.

As for the PT-141, Freddy did a nice job of laying it out for you, but if you have further questions you may want to shoot TimesRoman a pm. He seems to be one of the foremost knowledgeable guys on here in regards to this, Kelkel as well.

Best of luck on your continued progress!

this is why I put it all out here...I was hoping that more gals would be able to relate, and advice each other, spring board from what I’m going through, as well as the advice others are giving....INTERRUPT AWAY lol

*just an update, a few days ago i stopped my ESTRIOL 3MG, cuz after the first 2 weeks it is "as needed" and currently it’s no longer needed (maybe I just needed a quick reboot lol) so vag lube is on point, and still a tad bit too wet depending on what I’m doing for an activity (blush, biking is something I now where pads or tampons for)

started my period the other day , and it is a great healthy flow still (strange, but having spotty periods that are erratic are not as cool as one would think) I feel just an overall calmness/less anxious about my periods/health/possible pregnancy ~ this is a refreshing change :)

unsure if tigershark has noticed any diff, but I feel less high strung/irritable/angry/moody, starting to feel like myself almost ...weird trying to put it into words~ but it’s like stress just slowly lifted off of my temples and i no longer have the urge to disembowel people solely for breathing in my presents, lol

---

That sound great. Less stress for her (my wife) would mean less stress for me. :)

Hey Sexy~ hope you get all this figured out. You are in great hands as you know. And hopefully this thread will be added to my stickie as I just requested for it to be added. This will make a great read for many. Good info and humor wrapped into one!

Pt141 you say???? Doesn't sound too bad. Is there a post on this stuff anywhere??

I have a post on ar's forum. Bottom line..this stuff is legit. No bad side effects and it is INSANE! Best peptide ever!

After I took .5mg's I went out and bought 1600 shares of palatin technologies.

They are getting ready to start phase 3 trials. Originally they were trying it dosed intranasally due to the easy delivery.
.
That caused some minor bp increase in a very small number of subjects

They are now trying subq. Its good. Trust me. Real good.

Cool!! Ill do my research and give it a try!

I bought some and tried it for the first time last week, and I'm a 52 year old male.. I injected 1 mg sq about noon, I got a stomach ache about an hour later that was very minor and went away about an hour later. About 5 pm it started to kick in and I got horny like I did when I was a teenager. Basically I got aroused just looking at girls the way I did when I was a teenager. Hooked up with my girlfriend that night and it was quite a ride. So I'd say it worked as advertised

another up date:

so everything has stayed the same dose wise and I still feel great!

I just today purchased the pt 141 from ar-r... during a sale 50.00 (its listed as iPT141). I decided to order it for me cuz even though my sex drive is certainly improved it still not close to what I had and I kinda miss that lol. I dont see a need to increase any of my hormones JUST for a sex drive increase at this time ... mostly cuz the hubby is over seas for a year and so I have no one to play with :wg:
i MAY ask for an increase in the future but again the sex drive was not my main concern ~ all else is gravy so no need to rock the boat.

*it should be noted that I regained a substantial amount of weight; however, I DONT THINK IT HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE HORMONES. Frankly I was very scared worried for the hubby being safe while deployed and I ate my feelings ~ sought comfort in way too much crap and fast food. Once he actually left I regrouped and got a hold of myself. lost 25 pounds so far so again I dont see the hormones as the issue.
Still no facial hair or voice change (that i notice) no extra acne ~ just pure happy good stuff <3
I will let yall know how the PT 141 goes but that wont be used till like Jan or Feb 2014. i am seeeeerrrrriously looking forward to it...from the reports I have heard. here are some threads on it:

http://forums.steroid.com/questions-...41-review.html
http://forums.steroid.com/anabolic-s...41-dosing.html

ON A SIDE NOTE we are planning to move states next year and I am already very nervous that I wont find a Dr that will be of any use out in the mid west...

This is a really great thread.. I have a few questions that I hope someone can answer.. My wife will be getting Blood tests shortly to check her levels, we are pretty sure she is going to need HRT, however she had a question about if she were to get on an HRT regimen, what happens when her body is ready to start the Menopause phase?? Will being on HRT stop the entire process OR, will she continue to have monthly cycles throughout her life.. What actually happens to a women when she is given HRT and the Menopause phase is ready to begin? Does that make sense, I hope.. :)

She is 42. From what she says, she can basically go without having sex, not forever, she is just not interested anymore.. :( I on the other hand am like a 20yr old...... Not a great combination... I would never think about going outside our marriage so this has put a big wedge in our relationship.

I am no pro, just know my personal experience BUT maybe someone else will chime in as well after i bump this for you :)

try asking your pcp who they or where they recommend or google your local compounding pharmacists ask them if they do free consultations and if they accept your insurance

if she is having hormonal issues she could already be in peri or pre menopausal or in full menopause

the process helped regulate my cycles - i used to be all over the place or not have them at all - now i have regulare flow like clock work :)

I would suggest googling your questions and talking to your doc as well. stick with it - it may take time and be very confusing but the end result is sooooo worth it! best of luck to you both <3

very good thread, but I think it needs to be moved to the Female HRT!

disagree... mostly cuz a majority of the site members are male and they have women folk in their lives with these issues~ and dont know where to go for info / questions / or just plain feeling like they are not alone or going crazy

the general knowledge on the topic is so limited or wrong (even in medical community), yet each women going through (and at some point every single women does) hormone changes effects her marriage and man as well as her own self... more exposure to the topic is needed - more discussion on the topic is needed - more understanding on the topic is need.

limiting the audience will not provide that :/

hold on a minute Sexy! you got my comment all wrong. I was only aiming to make such a good thread available for women so they can find it easier. one thread regarding female hormone among 10000s of thread related to male hormone can easily get lost. besides. both male and female section are next to each other and both men and women can navigate each section and finding more specific topics to their needs with ease. what do you think of males posting about their hormones in the female section?! if its okay then we should combine both sections.

after all this site is about hormone balance first and everything else follows it. Peace.

Thank you for the reply, it is helpful.

Maybe a link to this thread or sticky it in the female HRT Forum.. I remember seeing this thread during its inception and found it while searching "women" in the thread tools.. Took me a few minutes however could take someone else longer or they may even search in that forum separately from this one and never find this thread... Possible to leave it in this section and link it in the other forum?

Anyways, she made an appt with her OB for Thursday of next week as her PCP said she was too young to get those blood tests... Hoping he listens to her and does the blood work I have printed out for her from this site.. If he doesnt then my TRT doc will, however he may not be versed on womens protocol so we will go the Compounding Pharmacy route. She has a good friend who actually owns one here in town so will go that route if need be, she just wants to keep this as private as possible.. Will keep everyone posted as to how it goes.. :)

commom frustration... hearing too young to get the tests we feel we need. like really its our body and we have concerns and we pay for the test, we should be able to get whatever we request *ugg* and yes hearing to young concerning menopause when under age 50 is (insert choice words here lol). the words peri and pre menopause seem to not be in Drs vocab.... i mean h3ll im only 38ish and I was utta whack
i hope everything works out for her but please remind here that she does have the option to shop around for a new pcp. I had to and it worked out, could for her as well :)

ahhh secretcy, this is prob one of the reasons why everyone is so in the dark about the topic. no one wants to say out loud they are a normal women with hormones changing ~ understandable though
yes please keep us post and let her know she can join and post herself as well <3 there are members here that know ALOT about this stuff and if she had her own thread they could truly help guide her

yes its fairly new and that's probably how you missed it. its all good though, we're here to help each other.

Such outdated thinking to think someone must be old for hormones to be an issue.

I was basically completely shut down at 40. Who knows how long I had been dealing with low test.

My wife was tested at 34 and was found to be completely out of whack. The hormone cream fixed things that she had been fighting with her entire life, so who knows how long her levels were a problem.

just received letter today stating that TRIcARE WILL NO LONGER COVER MY Test!!

What the holy fvck am i to do now?! ... i left a v/m for my compounding pharm- i pry to gawd they cant get creative with billing or compounding.

im sorry but i think that any medical coverage changes that take effect while a spouse is ACTIVELY deployed, should fall under a blanket for the time they are gone and 3 months after they return. the families left behind are already stressed out and trying to manage all on their own- adding med coverage changes / switching their meds is just plain cruel!

had a meeting with compounding pharm- so they are going to give me a military discount AND fill my test script for 3 months at a time to cut the cost. total will only cost me 75.00 every 3 month!
I was floored at how cheep it is- for some reason i thought it would be ALOT more out of pocket with out insurance

SUPER HAPPY and glad to share this cuz if your insurance is refusing to cover you hrt DEFIANTLY talk with the pharm and try to find creative ways to lower the out of pocket cost :)

good for you Sexy! never stop looking for better deals to make your life a better one.

I couldn't disagree more and what I mean by that is that the ppl who serve in the military and their families deserve nothing but the best healthcare our country has to offer for their entire lives. They put themselves in harm's way, and as a result their families make a huge sacrifice, to defend our personal freedoms and those of ppl all over the world, at the discretion of our government. The least the govt could do is give top notch medical benefits, especially considering that the wages paid in the military are just insulting. Why should congressmen get great salaries and benefits as the large majority are only trying to further their own agenda and then deprive the hard working individuals, who voluntarily enlist in the military, of anything but the best. It makes me sick and I don't think what's happening with your coverage is fair at all. Before I step off my soap box I would like to add that their are so many homeless and indigent veterans it is criminal - even one is unacceptable. How can the government turn its back on those who fought and served protecting this country? I'll end my rant now, sorry please continue. I need to learn more about female HRT and this thread has helped.

^^^ well said ^^^
